Is my birth control effective? Switching from Nuvaring to Yaz
by Martha587, Jul 20, 2008 06:15PM
Hello. I have been on Nuvaring for several years. The last month I was on it, I accidentally left the ring in one week longer than the 3 week period. I went ring-free for a week, and then when I normally insert a new ring, I switched to Yaz. I've read that the ring would have been effective still since it was only one week extra, but my real question concerns whether the Yaz is effective the first week after beginning it. I've gotten mixed reviews on the literature online and with the medicine. Is it necessary to use a backup method, or would I still be covered without extra protection during the first week? If you can help, thanks!!
