Quitting nuva ring

I have been using nuva ring for two weeks and am getting a lot of side effects. And I really just want to take it out now. Can I do this or is this going to cause serious problems?

hi
Yes, you can just take it out. You will likely bleed after and then your period should regulate.
If you are having significant side effects then it is OK to remove the NuvaRing. You may have a cycle early so be on the look out for that.
