Nuvaring Left Out- Can I Ovulate? Posted: 05-17-07 12:32pm
Hello everyone,
I am on the NuvaRing, and I
accidentally messed it up. I took it out
before my fiance and I had sex, and I went
to sleep without realizing I hadn't put it
back in. I put it in around 24 hours
later. We had sex the next night. Could I
have ovulated?

I don't know how possible it is.

hi, you can take the nuva ring out for up
to three hours and be ok. my doctor told
me the only time you can ovulate is what
would be the fourteenth day of your
period, thank god it doesnt last that long
hehe, anyways, also you should use
protection like a condom for a week and
then you will be fine. i have never had a
problem with my nuva ring and i have
accidentally kept it out for a few days

The fact that you ovulate fourteen days
BEFORE your next period (not fourteen days
after the last one) does not apply if you
are on birth control. Birth control
completely changes how your body works.
Say for example that you had done this
oppsie with the ring on day 14 before your
next period. You are no more likely to
ovulate on that day than you would have
been if you'd done the oopsie a week
before. Get it? You do not ovulate on the
ring, so the 14 day rule doesn't count.

If you leave the ring out for more than
three hours and have unprotected sex
within the week (yes a whole week) then
you can get pregnant. It is the same thing
as missing birth control pills.
I realize this is an old post so it
doesn't really matter anymore, but if this
happens you should take the morning after
pill.
