Hormonal contraceptive vaginal rings. Accessed Oct. Melmed S, et al. Hormonal contraception. In: Williams Textbook of Endocrinology. Elsevier; Leave this ring in for 21 days, then repeat the cycle. You can have sex and use tampons while the ring is in your vagina. You and your partner may feel the ring during sex, but this isn't harmful. If the ring has been in for up to 7 days after the end of week 3 up to 4 weeks in total :. If the ring has been in for more than 7 days after the end of week 3 more than 4 weeks in total :.
Put in a new ring as soon as you remember, and use additional contraception such as condoms for 7 days. You may need emergency contraception if you had sex before you remembered to put the new ring in, and the ring-free interval was 48 hours longer than it should have been or more 9 days or more in total.
Sometimes the ring may come out on its own expulsion. It may happen after or during sex, or if it wasn't put in properly. What you should do depends on how long the ring is out for, and which week of your cycle you're in. If the ring is out for less than 48 hours regardless of where you are in your cycle and you've been using that particular ring for 3 weeks or less:. If the ring is out for more than 48 hours in the first week of using a ring:. If the ring is out for more than 48 hours in the second or third week of using a ring :.
If you don't smoke and there are no medical reasons why you can't use the ring, you can use it until you're 50 years old. You can start using the vaginal ring 42 days after giving birth if you are breastfeeding. You will need to use additional contraception for 7 days such as condoms. You may be able to start using the ring earlier than this — on day 21 after giving birth — if you're not breastfeeding, but your doctor will advise you.
You do not then need to use additional contraception. You may become fertile again soon after giving birth. If you start using the ring more than 21 days after giving birth, you will need to use additional contraception such as condoms before you start using the ring.
You can start using the ring immediately after a miscarriage or abortion, and it'll work straight away. You don't need to use additional contraception. If more than 5 days have passed since the miscarriage or abortion, you need to use additional contraception such as condoms for 7 days after you insert the ring. There's a very small risk of some serious side effects when you use a hormonal contraceptive like the vaginal ring. For most women, the benefits of the ring outweigh the possible risks, but you should discuss all risk and benefits with a GP or nurse before you start it.
A very small number of people using the vaginal ring may develop a blood clot in a vein or an artery. Don't use the ring if you've had a blood clot before. Research suggests that people who use the vaginal ring have a small increased risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer compared with those who don't.
But this reduces with time after you've stopped using the ring. Research also suggests there's a small increase in the risk of developing cervical cancer with long-term use of oestrogen and progestogen hormonal contraception. But not all clinics are able to provide the vaginal ring, so it's worth checking first. You won't be able to get a prescription for more than 4 months' supply at a time because this is its shelf life. Find your nearest sexual health clinic. If you need contraception, call your GP surgery or a sexual health clinic as soon as possible.
Only go in person if you're told to.
