Just yesterday I went to the doctor to start on the NuvaRing. The doctor had me insert the ring at the appointment even though I'm at day 15 of my cycle. When I got home, I read that women who are starting NuvaRing who haven't been on another form of oral contraceptive should start the ring between days 1 and 5 of their cycle.
1 Use another birth control method, such as male condoms with spermicide, until the new NuvaRing has been used for 7 days in a row, following one of the two options below: 2  Option 1. 3  Insert a new ring right away to start your next 21 Day NuvaRing use cycle. Insert 1 NuvaRing in the vagina and keep it in place for 3 weeks (21 days). 2  Remove the NuvaRing for a 1 week break (7 days). 3  During the 1-week break (7 days), you will usually have your menstrual period.
