Transmission fluid: the other dipstick. There are 2 dipsticks under your hood: one to check your motor oil and one to check on that underrated worker bee, the transmission fluid. Transmission fluid performs many of the same functions as motor oil, like lubrication and cooling.
If NuvaRingÂ® is not started within five days after a first trimester abortion or miscarriage, begin NuvaRingÂ® at the time of your next menstrual period. Counting the first day of your menstrual period as Day 1, insert NuvaRingÂ® on or before Day 5 of the cycle, even if you have not finished bleeding. During this first cycle, use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, for the first seven days of ring use.
NuvaRing: Early or Late Periods: Although most women have regular periods while using the NuvaRing, this does not mean it will necessarily hold true for you. In fact, some women will experience early or late periods while using the NuvaRing, depending on how their bodies react to the hormones. If your period cycle changes dramatically when you start using the hormonal vaginal ring, you should talk to your doctor.
