Question:
Can I only wear the Nuvaring for a week?
I just started the Nuvaring but am waiting to see if there are any side effects. If so, would it screw up my body if I wore it for just one week? What would most likely happen when I took it out? Also, what are your experiences with nuvaring?
Answers:
The ring needs to be in for a full 7 days before you are protected against pregnancy, so just make sure that if you only wear it for a week and stop using it, you use some other form of birth control.
The first few rings are tough, (3 months of low sex drive, headaches, moodiness. All caused by a lack of vitamin B6. All hormonal birth control depletes B6, not just the Nuvaring. Try a suppliment if you experience these symptoms.)
Taking out the Nuvaring triggers your period. So if you take it out early, expect a short and light period. You might be irregular for a few weeks after you stop using it.
After a while your body will adjust to the hormones. It's the best birth control I've ever used.
