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.
In the first cycle of Nuva Ring, you can put the ring on the first day of your period for immediate protection from pregnancy. You can put it in any other day of your cycle as well, but then need to use a back up method (like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex) for seven days. In later cycles using Nuva Ring, you put it in on schedule, a week after you took out the last one, on the same day of the week that you took the last one out.
