Thread: Should I even worry? nuvaring

So I have a question for u ladies. If I started the nuvaring on Sunday at 5pm and had unprotected sex on Saturday morning, am I protected from pregnancy?

"If you haven’t used a hormonal birth control in the past month or have been using only condoms, a diaphragm, or other barrier method of birth control in the past month

Count the first day of your menstrual period as Day 1, and insert your first NuvaRing® into your vagina on or before Day 5 (but no later, even if you have not finished your period). During this first cycle, use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, for the first 7 days of NuvaRing® use. If you insert NuvaRing® on Day 1, it is not necessary to use an extra method of birth control."

(From the Nuvaring website)
Not sure when you started or how you used it, but it seems to be iffy as Saturday is the 7th day.. (at least in my mind) Not sure how the ring works in terms of protection in that way. In any case if you want to be really sure if you can take a hpt after 3 weeks. Not even the Ring is 100% effective and so there's still the chance.

Good luck and welcome to the forums
