Is It Safe To Use Nuvaring Contraceptive Ring Twice?

I am currently using Nuvaring contraceptive. I thought that I accidentally flushed my nuva ring and inserted a new one. Few hours later, I realized that the old nuva ring was still in place. If I rinsed the new nuva ring and placed it back in the package, would I be able to use it in 3 weeks?

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

NO, you should use new ones . Old ones can cause infection. Feel free to consult me directly
