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.
1 Remove your old NuvaRing for 1 week (7 days) and insert a new NuvaRing 1 week (7 days) later (See Steps 1 through 4). 2  If you leave NuvaRing in your vagina longer than 4 weeks (28 days), remove the ring and check to make sure you are not pregnant. Note: Insert and remove NuvaRing on the same day of the week and at the same time: 2  For example, if you insert your NuvaRing on a Monday at 8:00 am, you should remove it on the Monday 3 weeks later at 8:00 am. 3  After your 1 week (7 days) break, you should insert a new NuvaRing on the next Monday at 8:00 am.
