Does my Polaring work? Holding it for too long.
Instead of keeping Polaring in my vagina for 3 weeks, I kept it for 4 weeks and the next day after 4 weeks I took it out and put a new one in. To illustrate - the 4 weeks of having it passed on Sunday, and on Monday I took it out and applied a new one. On Monday, before I changed the disc, I had bleeding that looked like a period, but after putting the disc back in the next day it stopped.
During the 4th week when it was still inserted, and there should have been a one-week break after taking it out, was I protected against pregnancy? If I had intercourse at the time, can I be afraid for her?
If I put in a new disc without taking a break, but put it in immediately after taking out the previous one, does the current, new disc work as it should? If not, what should I do?
I would like to add that according to my gynecologist, I do not ovulate. On top of that, over the course of owning this Polaring, I've experienced numerous one-day bleeding, is this normal?
Thank you in advance for your help
