I just started my nuva ring, and i have not used any other BC for 6 months...well according to the instructions i am supposed to put in the ring from the 1st to- at the lastest 5th day of my period, even if im still bleeding...and i know i am supposed to follow the directions but i did not know this untill i opend the package...the reason i had it in my hands was because the nurse said it was okay just as long as i put it in right away, like as soon as i get home...so i put it in when i got home. ok so i may be 2 days late, could be 1 day(?)...anyway...will that effect anything?

should i be worried about getting pregnant? I read in the instructions that if the ring is in for 7 days from the first use then i'm in the clear...so maybe then i dont have to worry if i have unprotected sex with DH in one week ...hmmm...i hate these miscommunications...

any help is awesome thanks!

Are you saying you put it in 2 days after the 5th day of your period? I don't understand. Are you still having your period?

no I dont have my period, I was stating that I just didn't putthe ring in by the 5th day and I am wondering if it will protect me from getting pregnant if I have sex... I wonder if it is as effective or if it will alter my protection just because I was 2 days late in inserting the ring.
thanks
