The instructions say that if it comes out to just wash it in cold water and stick it right back in... but if it falls in the toilet I don't think I want it back in my cooter, ya know?! Sorry if all of that was TMI. Anyway, I finally got my period so it looks like the NuvaRing is doing it's job. I could use the extra BC, otherwise I think I would jump on that herbal route that you mentioned. Sounds good!

I liked it b/c I didn't have to remember a pill every day...and yes you can take it out for up to 2 hours I think and rinse it off and put it back in. I used to take it out before doing the deed because it was painful for me, then rinsed it off with luke warm water and put it back in. It worked for me. Also, to make sure I didnt get my period for my wedding, I used the rings back to back for 4 months and never got a period.
That said, my period was whacked when I finally stopped taking it all together, and I haven't been able to get preggo since. But this could be because of many things.

I think if you are really careful about being precise on the days and times you remove and place a new ring back in, it should work effectively. But I am not a GYN of course :O)
