How To Use Vaginal Birth Control Ring?
Hello! I am using a vaginal ring that I usually have inside for 4 weeks and then take out during 1 week (during which time I have my period). I was suppose to take it out on wednesday, but forgot, so I took it out on friday instead. How will this affect? Am I stll protected? Should I still insert a new ring on next wednesday?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes. Delay in taking out the ring does not reduce the effect. You are still protected. You will have to insert a new ring as scheduled.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
