If you want to put bigger rims on your car can you just go and buy them and install them with having to do anything else other then remove the old ones and put on the new ones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Just putting bigger rims on your car without considering other factors can lead to issues such as incorrect fitment, affecting vehicle performance, speedometer accuracy, and potentially causing rubbing issues. It's important to also consider the tire size, suspension modifications, and recalibrating the speedometer to ensure proper functioning and safety. Consulting with a professional or specialist is recommended before making any changes.

Can NuvaRing cause cervical cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The studies suggest that it increases the risk of cervical cancer, and more cases of cervical cancer surfaced during the studies. However, they are labeled non-conclusive. I have personal experience, though. I have cervical cancer with a negative HPV test - meaning I do not have HPV but still managed to get cervical cancer. I used the NuvaRing just under a year ago. I have no other causes for it - I do not smoke, I am not overweight, I do not have a weakened immune system, etc. The only factor that I had was the NuvaRing. I am not sure how doctors go about linking a diagnosis with a cause but there is not a doubt in my mind that this was caused by the NuvaRing.

Can stopping NuvaRing cause a heavier and crampier period?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you're on hormonal birth control, the hormones make your bleeding lighter and less crampy. When you stop birth control, you are having an actual period, and bleeding and cramping are likely to be heavier. You return to your own previous pattern within a month or two after stopping hormonal birth control. If you're not seeking pregnancy, you can talk with your health care provider about contraceptive options to avoid heavy and crampy periods. If you're trying to get pregnant, talk with your health care provider about options for pain control.

Can you put the same nuva ring back in even after three hours?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ring is fine, but if you haven't had it in for three hours, you need to take extra precautions. If the Nuva Ring has been out more than three hours, rinse it in cold or lukewarm (not hot) water, reinsert it, and use a backup birth control method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the next seven days.

It's best to leave the ring in during sex to reduce the risk of this kind of accident.

Is it normal to skip the first period after using the nuvaring?

Breakthrough bleeding may last for days or weeks when you skip a period with hormonal birth control. Typically, it just lasts for a few days.

Is there a way to permanently stop your period?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only way to permanently stop your period is to have a hysterectomy, which involves removal of the uterus. However, a doctor will not do this unless they have cause (like cancer of the uterus or rupture during pregnancy, labor or c-section). The chances of getting a hysterectomy are very low. There are birth control options with will stop or dramatically decrease your period. Depo provera is one option. It is a shot given 4 times a year and, for many women, it stops your period. There are also pills which, if taken correctly, can allow you only 4 periods a year. These all can be discussed with your dr. I must add though that, if you plan on having kids in the future, I highly advise that you do not stop your period. Your monthly cycle keeps you healthy. I also must add, despite what the previous answer written here was - getting your tubes tied does not stop your period and it does not stop menopause. I believe removal of your ovaries would actually put you into early menopause, stopping your periods but that comes with risks. No matter what you decide, know that stopping your period will increase your chances of osteoporosis. So, if you are still growing, just tough it out for a while.

Nuva ring in for one day period 4 days later?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. That will put you at risk for pregnancy during the seven days, because the ring was in too long. Instead, use as directed: Nuva Ring for three weeks and hormone free for seven days.

Will putting NuvaRing in the same day after intercourse prevent pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It won't work as emergency contraception, but if you're putting it in no later than seven days after your last three-week-or-longer ring cycle, you're protected. If this is your first NuvaRing, get the morning after pill and start NuvaRing. Then use a back up method until you've used the ring correctly for seven days (14 if you used ullipristal for emergency contraception).

Will your period come on if you keep the NuvaRing in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not necessarily. You can start your first ring with or without your period. If you start without your period, you should use a backup method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days.

After that first month, you should put in the NuvaRing right on schedule, whether you're bleeding or not. For a large proportion of Nuva Ring users, that means inserting the next month's ring while you're still bleeding.

It's not unusual to have breakthrough bleeding during the first few months of use.

User Avatar

If you are taking your birth control properly (same time ever day/night, not missing pills, not using antibiotics, etc) and use the condom properly it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will but there is a small smidgen of possiblity that you could get pregnant.

What if you put in your NuvaRing a few hours late - after the seven-day ring-free period?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you miss the first three days of your NuvaRing cycle, you should use a backup method until you've worn the ring for seven days. If you had sex during that time, consider using emergency contraception.

What can happen if you leave NuvaRing in for a week?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. The Nuva Ring has enough hormones to last up to 35 days, or 5 weeks. Leaving it in for 4 weeks is perfectly healthy and equally as effective for preventing pregnancy. Leaving it in for 4 weeks and skipping your period is fine, but it should not be left in for more than 4 weeks at a time.

Do you have to use a back up method on your second NuvaRing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you've been without a ring for less than seven days, and used the ring correctly in the prior month, there is no need for a backup method when you start the next month. If you were late putting in the new ring or made some other error, you'll need to use a backup method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of the new ring.

Is the ring a barrier method of birth control?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is not a barrier method. It simply releases hormones that prevent your body from producing matured eggs. If the eggs aren't mature, they can't be fertilized.

Not unless you want to get pregnant! It must be inside and releasing hormones or you are not protected against pregnancy.

You have been on nuva ring for two years and your period is always on time you got your period three days early Should you be worried?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you've used the ring correctly, haven't started any new medications or herbs that may interfere with the ring, and aren't at risk for infection, there's no concern about spotting with NuvaRing in. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

Can you be pregnant after having light bleeding for three days and then a week later you had spotting for two days and you've been feeling like you're going to throw up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, I have the same problem. I'm 13. For me, it just means that I'm either sick, or just having an abnormal period. Hey, it happens. But just in case, take a pregnancy test. Don't rely on these answers.

Have other women experienced bleeding for months after discontinuing NuvaRing?

Asked by Wiki User

Sure, but Nuvaring is unlikely to be the cause. If you're having continuous spotting or bleeding, get an exam to find the cause.

If you get pregnant on NuvaRing birth control and continue using it without knowing if you are pregnant will it hurt the baby?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No birth defects have been noted in women taking birth control unknowingly while pregnant. Because accidental pregnancies can occur on birth control, there is plenty of experience with this subject. See the "related links" section for a directory of hotlines you can call for information from specialists if you are concerned about a medication exposure during pregnancy.
