Can the contraceptive ring be kept on for 4 weeks in a row? If so, for how many consecutive months?

Hello Ma'am,

A ring should not be kept in your body for more than 3 weeks, as it does not contain enough hormones to protect you for longer.

That said, it is fine to remove the ring after 3 weeks and insert a new one right away, so that you do not have a downtime.

By doing so, one can "skip" the period and do it that way for as long as you want.

Good day,
