Don't forget to wear your device. Exposure to body heat must be daily.
What does the protocol say?
Nothing, not a single line on cases of omission, as this is a sensitive subject that has not yet been investigated in clinical trials. And yet, to ensure safe practice, we need to define a safe framework.
First possibility
If you forget for 30 days, you start again at 0. 3 months of protection followed by a spermogram.
But since mistakes are human, here are a few unofficial recommendations based on the experience of several thousand users over 5 years.
Second possibility
- 1 full day of non-wear per month: Acceptable; just inform your partner.
- 2 full days per month (consecutive or not): Inform your partner, schedule a sperm test in 30 days, and use a secondary contraceptive method until the results confirm contraceptive levels. If sperm concentration is below 1 million/ml, you can return to using only the ring. If it is above, continue using double contraception and schedule another sperm test in one month.
- 3 or more full days per month (consecutive or not): Restart the protocol, schedule a spermogram in two to three months, and use a secondary contraceptive method until the threshold is met.
When in doubt,
it is advisable to use an additional method of protection until a spermogram can confirm, after two months of regular use of the method, that sperm levels are still below the contraceptive threshold (1 million per mL).
If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
