If I remove my Nuvaring to have sex, am I at risk of getting pregnant?

Yes, if you remove your Nuvaring for sexual activity and forget to put it back in within 3 hours, there is a risk of pregnancy. It is recommended to use additional protection for 7 days after reinserting the Nuvaring to ensure effectiveness. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on the proper use of the Nuvaring and to determine if emergency contraception is necessary in certain situations.
