Hello. I am currently on nuvaring birth control and mistakenly took it out a week early the. My regular schedule.Once I realized I was early in removing the ring I put it back in with in a 24 hr period but beyond the 3 hour limit.  I did have unprotected sex during the time of when the Nuvaring was removed. Do I need to take emergency contraception pill or let the nuvaring release the hormones during 7 days to regulate my hormones again?
Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. I have gone through the query and understood your concern. In the current scenario, you need to use other back up method of contraception until the ring is inside continuously for seven days after the reinsertion to allow the hormones to work. If you cannot leave the nearing inside for seven days, you have to use emergency contraception. Reinsertion should always be done after washing the ring with lukewarm water. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
