when to put in nuvaring

Question

My dr did not give me much information and I've done as much research as I could, online it says between days 2-5 of your cycle but a friend of mine that uses the nuvaring told me to place it in the Sunday after my period, my period has ended a few days ago and it is now Sunday, so I place it in today, or the beginning of my cycle?! Help please!

Answer

I did the same thing you're friend suggested.  My doctor originally told me that.

Answer

This is taken directly from the Nuvaring pamphlet:

First Day Start: Insert NuvaRing on the first day of your menstrual period. 
You will not need to use another birth control method since you are using NuvaRing on the first day of your menstrual period.

Day 2 to Day 5 Cycle Start: You may choose to start NuvaRing on days 2to 5 of your menstrual period. Make sure you also use an extra method of birth control (barrier method), such as male condoms with spermicide for the first 7 days of NuvaRing use in the first cycle.

Where exactly are you confused?

In addition, you can start it at any time during your cycle, you just need to use condoms for the first 7 days.

Answer

Listen to the numbers sweetie not your friend, sorry but it's true.

Answer

Read the pamphlet that comes with your ring! It tells you EXACTLY what you need to do.
