Tonight (if I don't work from 7-2 tomorrow) my boyfriend and I are gonna go out for dinner etc. Since we don't use condoms (neither of us have std's) and I am off of my ring for a week ( for my period, but my period starts on friday usually)  He pulls out, but I know there's that "pre" stuff that happens, what are the chances of me getting pregnant? am I safe, because it's my 'grace week' per se, or would it have worn off and make it as if I was never on birth control. ?

Replies rollmodel Posted at 12:41 am on Aug. 2, 2012 No doubt a man can enjoy time with his female partner without sex...I totally agree because oral isn't really considered sex right!!!!   Oh........as far as the safe period and what not.....I'm not sure about the ring and all that, but if your man is anything like me then I would get a condom or something because most all the time I have a lot of that pre.....stuff .......just sayin MooMooMilk Posted at 8:32 pm on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from polio at 11:59 am on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from agerask at 7:50 pm on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from polio at 11:36 am on Aug. 1, 2012 There is no 'safe' period. You can get pregnant at any time, whether or not he pulls out. If you are not on your ring then you are not protected and you either should put off having sex or using another form of contraception (be it condoms, femidom, etc).   People have gotten pregnant both using the pull out method and thinking they were 'safe'. Don't be one of those.    this is false. yeah my bad, i was reading the information about the ring being out >3 hours before the 3 week period is over and not during the 1 week without the ring. Yeah.. I was about to say, there definitely is a safe period. OP, I think you're good and don't have anything to worry about. But if you're really worried, use a condom. polio Posted at 11:59 am on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from agerask at 7:50 pm on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from polio at 11:36 am on Aug. 1, 2012 There is no 'safe' period.

If NuvaRing® is used as prescribed, you will be protected against pregnancy during the week off period. You place a new NuvaRing® precisely one week to the day the previous one was taken out. This. Exactly. Thank you. agerask Posted at 11:50 am on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from polio at 11:36 am on Aug. 1, 2012 There is no 'safe' period. You can get pregnant at any time, whether or not he pulls out.

Anonymous Posted at 10:02 am on Aug. 1, 2012 Yeah, that's our problem. When I'm on top he complains of it rubbing. As for us just going to dinner, I don't know if that was sarcastic or not, but he's not a typical guy. :) OzzysGirl Posted at 9:51 am on Aug. 1, 2012 I was on it at one time and never had any problems besides the ring causing major chafing to my husband's penis. It worked perfectly as a form of birth control. Read the insert it came with or call the prescribing clinic if you have questions. Most birth controls are still effective during the off week of the month. polio Posted at 9:41 am on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from grassy knoll at 5:40 pm on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from Anonymous at 9:38 am on Aug. 1, 2012 I don't really want to risk it, we may just go to dinner or something,   sounds like fun for him. you know men can enjoy the company of their female partner without having sex. grassy knoll Posted at 9:40 am on Aug. 1, 2012 Quote: from Anonymous at 9:38 am on Aug. 1, 2012 I don't really want to risk it, we may just go to dinner or something,   sounds like fun for him.
