1. Before inserting the ring, check it is not out of date (see section 6 'How to store NuvaRing').

2. Wash your hands before inserting or removing the ring.

3. See Figures 1 - 5 below for details

4. Dispose of the used ring with the normal household waste, preferably inside the resealable sachet. Do not flush NuvaRing down the toilet.

1. Starting with the day you put it in, the vaginal ring must be left in place without interruption for 3 weeks.

2. After 3 weeks you remove the ring on the same day of the week and at approximately the same time as it was put in. For example, if you put NuvaRing in on a Wednesday at about 22.00 h, you should remove the ring 3 weeks later, on Wednesday, at about 22.00 h.

3. After you have removed the ring, you do not use a ring for 1 week. During this week a vaginal bleed should occur. Usually this starts 2-3 days after removal of NuvaRing.

4. Start a new ring exactly after the 1 week interval (again on the same day of the week and approximately the same time), even if you have not stopped bleeding. If the new ring is inserted more than 3 hours too late, the protection from pregnancy may be reduced. Follow the instructions in section 3.4 'What to do if…You have forgotten to insert a new ring after the ring-free interval'.

1. Insert a new ring immediately:

2. Do not insert the ring again.
