What are you talking about this is ok? You are supposed to replace it within 3 hrs. And you need it in a week for it to protect you, unless you put it in the first day of your period, so you may not have been safe that week at all. If you have left it in since then you are protected during the week its out, but do not forget to put it back in on time. You also cannot leave the ring exposed to the air for more then 3 hrs. This is right from the manufacturers web site o If the expelled NuvaRing has been out of your vagina for more than 3
hours, insert a new NuvaRing as soon as you remember (See Step 1
thru Step 4).
o During Weeks 1 and 2 after you have inserted your new
NuvaRing, you may not be protected from pregnancy. You should
use another birth control method, such as male condoms with
spermicide, until the ring has been in place for 7 days in a row.
o At the end of Week 3, you should remove the NuvaRing and
throw it away in your household trash away from children and pets
and follow one of the two options below:
