Is It Safe To Keep NuvaRing Inside For Four Weeks?

I ve been using NuvaRing for almost two years now, but for my last period I found out it s possible to skip it by keeping the ring in for 4 weeks and then immediately replacing it with a new one. I ve read it s okay to do this often, even every month if you never want to get your period, but I d like to know if there are any health or reproductive risks caused by doing so. Thanks!

Hello,

You can use the ring to skip your period altogether, which is totally convenient for people who just don't want to deal with Aunt Flo every month. There is no risk to health and your reproductive system at all.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
