Can Heat Ruin The Effectiveness Of NuvaRing?
I was camping this past weekend and in high temperatures from thursday to sunday, and had my next NuvaRing ring with me in the car because my replacement date was Saturday. I'm scared that the heat of the weekend may have ruined the ring. Could it still be effective? If I am having some bleeding, does that mean it's ineffective?

Hi,
Yes, if the Nuva ring is exposed to excessive heat or directly to sunlight, it can lose its effectiveness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
