Insurance that helps pay expenses for nursing care or other help in old age sounds like a great idea. But when companies started selling long-term-care insurance policies decades ago they did a poor job of figuring out how much to charge, forcing them to repeatedly raise rates to consumers.
Just yesterday I went to the doctor to start on the NuvaRing. The doctor had me insert the ring at the appointment even though I'm at day 15 of my cycle. When I got home, I read that women who are starting NuvaRing who haven't been on another form of oral contraceptive should start the ring between days 1 and 5 of their cycle.
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.
