nuva ring Help!
hey im on nuva ring and been taking it for two years but i think i was suppose to take it out last week but i cant be sure because i lost my stickers to put on the calender and i thew out my last calender. I did take it out yesterday. but my question is will this hurt me in any way. normaly when i take out my ring on a sunday i get my period thursday morning i didn t get it last week but i'm not sure if thats because i didnt take the ring out.
I'm not really worried but just wondering if it will hurt me or not. Is the ring still efective if its in to long. I doubt i got pregnate since we use condoms also most of the time.

I'm not too sure about the effects of leaving the ring in longer then instructed. I would definately ask your doctor about that just to be sure. I am guessing that it just throws off your cycle a bit. If leaving it in for a couple of extra days could cause any sort of serious side effect, I am sure they would be making people aware of that before prescribing it.

I've been on the ring for a little more than a year. You know want to do leave it in for three take it out for one, but the ring can be in for up to four weeks, so if you remembered within a week you are fine. As far as taking it our early you could mess with the effectiveness so I wouldn't recomend it. Plus I did it once and I got the worst cramps of my life!!
