hi everyone! i’m a little confused since this is my first break week and the manual isn’t helping me with my confusion…nor is google. i took out my ring at 5:39 last week and i’m going out for lunch and then to the mall so i won’t be back until like…6. can i take it 30 minutes later or does it have to be EXACTLY 5:39? sorry if this question was asked it’s just i dont know if the ring is different from other forms of contraception like the pill. ••••••••••••••••••••⏹💤💤💤💤💤💤⏱ Brand: NuvaRing

Hmm, I’m on the ring. But I never take breaks. I’d say you’d be late?? Cause it’s been 7 days right?? Are you sexually active? I’d use protection just in case because the ring is time sensitive. Maybe try shortening your break to 6 days? So if something like this happens again you’ve got a 24hr window of protection still.

Pamphlets often have outdated information. Use the NHS website for the most updated information on birth control.

based off the website i’m safe phew. but either way the pamphlet giving false outdated info isn’t cool…birth control really needs to up its game. thanks for your help!!

Im on the Nuvaring. You don’t have to take a break and that goes for the majority of bc. You can always shorten your break week from the number of days your pamphlet tells you. I don’t take it out at all and keep it in for 4 weeks and just replace at the end. Gives me full protection at all times in case anything happens :)
