THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

This question posed by Caterina is delicate. Postponing your menstrual cycle is never recommended, even though you could do it once, for all combined hormonal methods. In any case, before you proceed, always ask your gynecologist’s advice.

You can postpone your pseudo-menstruation (withdrawal bleeding) by inserting a new ring immediately after removing the old one, without having a ring-free interval. The new ring can remain inserted for a maximum period of 3 weeks. While using the new ring, spotting (small spots or drops of blood) may occur. Remove the ring whenever you decide you want to have your new flow. Wait for the regular ring-free interval of one week before inserting a new ring to begin a new cycle.
