Is it ok to remove nuvaring a few hours early?

Anna • barista, kitty-lover, loyal girlfriend 💜

I’ve had some heavy breakthrough bleeding for several days now and today is my scheduled day to remove the ring, however it’s not until 8pm and I just want to get it over with. Is it ok to remove it a few hours early on the correct day? At most it would be 6 hours, would that make a difference or should I really just wait until 8pm? Thanks :)
