What Is The Chances Of Pregnancy After Taking Nuva Ring?

I had been off of birth control for a month and then started taking the nuva ring. I waited 2.5 weeks to have unprotected sex, however my partner did not ejaculate. Was I protected from pregnancy? I read somewhere that you are supposed to wait a month before having unprotected sex after inserting the nuva ring

Hi, I understand your concern. Nuva rings prevents pregnancy by making the cervical mucus thick and preventing fertilisation. It is worn for 3 weeks and give a week rest before using the next ring. Correct use of ring can cause 1 in 100 failures but improper use can cause failure at a higher rate.. I think you have used it correctly.. feel free to ak any queries. Good day..
