What Ornibel Is And What It Is Used For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel is a contraceptive in the form of a vaginal ring that is used to prevent pregnancy. Each ring contains a small amount of two female sex hormones – etonogestrel and Ethinyl estradiol. The ring slowly releases these hormones into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the small amounts of hormones that are released, Ornibel is considered a low-dose hormonal contraceptive. Because Ornibel releases two different types of hormones, it is a so-called combined hormonal contraceptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel ring<\/strong> works just like a combined contraceptive pill, but instead of taking one pill every day, the ring is used for 3 weeks in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel releases two female sex hormones that prevent an egg from detaching from the ovaries. If no egg is released, you can not get pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n

What You Need To Know Before Using Ornibel <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
General Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you start Ornibel ring uses,<\/strong> you should read the information about blood clots in section 2. It is especially important to read about the symptoms of blood clots – see section 2 “Blood clots”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This leaflet describes several situations when you should stop using Ornibel or when Ornibel may be less reliable. In such situations, you should not have intercourse or protect yourself with a non-hormonal contraceptive – for example, a condom or some other barrier method. Do not use safe periods or temperature methods. These methods may be unsafe because Ornibel affects the monthly changes in body temperature and secretions in the cervix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel, like other hormonal contraceptives, does not protect against HIV infection ( AIDS ) or any other sexually transmitted disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.1 Do Not Use Ornibel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
stop Ornibel ring uses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not use Ornibe l if you have any of the conditions listed below. If you have any of these conditions, you must inform your doctor\/midwife. Your doctor\/midwife will discuss which other type of contraception may be more appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have (or have had) a blood clot in a blood vessel in your legs (deep\u00a0vein thrombosis, DVT),<\/li>
In the lungs (\u00a0pulmonary embolism, PE) or in any other organ.<\/li>
If you know you have a disease that affects blood coagulation – e.g.\u00a0protein\u00a0C deficiency,\u00a0protein\u00a0S deficiency, antithrombin III deficiency, Factor V Leiden, or antiphospholipid antibodies.<\/li>
If you need to have an operation or if you stay in bed for a long time (see section “Blood clots”).<\/li>
If you have (or have had) a heart attack or a\u00a0stroke.<\/li>
If you have (or have had) angina (a condition that causes severe chest pain and maybe the first sign of a heart attack) or\u00a0transient\u00a0ischemic attack (\u00a0TIA\u00a0– transient stroke symptoms).<\/li>
If you have any of the following conditions that may increase the risk of a blood clot in your arteries:
Symptoms that usually occur in one eye: immediate loss of vision or blurred vision without pain that can develop into vision loss.<\/td>
Retinal venous thrombosis(blood clot in the eye)<\/td><\/tr>
chest pain, discomfort, pressure, heaviness feeling of pressure or fullness in the chest, arm, or below the sternum feeling satiated, indigestion or feeling of suffocation discomfort in the upper body that radiates to the back, jaw, neck, arm, and abdomen sweating, nausea, vomiting or dizziness extreme weakness, anxiety or shortness of breakfast or irregular heartbeat.<\/td>
Myocardial infarction<\/td><\/tr>
sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs, especially on one side of the body sudden confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding suddenly difficult seeing with one or both eyes sudden difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination sudden, severe or prolonged headache without known cause unconsciousness or fainting with or without seizures. Sometimes the symptoms of a\u00a0stroke\u00a0can be short-lived with almost immediate or complete recovery, but you should still seek medical attention immediately because you are at risk of having a new\u00a0stroke.<\/td>
Stroke<\/td><\/tr>
swelling and slight blue discoloration of an arm or leg severe abdominal pain ( acute abdomen).<\/td>
Blood clots that block other blood vessels<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
BLOOD CLOTS IN A FRIEND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can happen if a blood clot forms in a vein?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The use of combined hormonal contraceptives has been associated with an increased risk of blood clots in a vein (venous\u00a0thrombosis\u00a0).\u00a0However, these ornibel ring side effects<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0are rare.\u00a0They usually occur during the first year of using a combined hormonal contraceptive.<\/li>
If a blood clot forms in a vein in the leg or foot, it can cause deep\u00a0vein thrombosis\u00a0(DVT).<\/li>
If a blood clot travels from the bone and gets stuck in the lung, it can cause a\u00a0pulmonary embolism.<\/li>
In very rare cases, a blood clot can form in a vein in another organ, such as\u00a0the eye (\u00a0retinal\u00a0venous thrombosis\u00a0).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When is the risk of developing a blood clot in a vein greatest?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of developing a blood clot in a vein is greatest during the first year that you use combined hormonal contraceptives for the first time. The risk may also be higher if you start using a combined hormonal contraceptive again (same product or another product) after a break of 4 weeks or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the first year, the risk decreases, but it is always slightly higher than if you do not use a combined hormonal contraceptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you stop using Ornibel, the risk of a blood clot returns to normal within a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How big is the risk of developing a blood clot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk depends on your natural risk of VTE and the type of combined hormonal contraceptive you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total risk of a blood clot in the leg or lung with Ornibel ring<\/strong> is small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of 10,000 women who do not use a combined hormonal contraceptive and are not pregnant, about 2 develop a blood clot in one year.<\/li>
Of 10,000 women who use a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains levonorgestrel, norethisterone or norgestimate, about 5\u20137 develop a blood clot in one year.<\/li>
Of 10,000 women who use a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains norelgestromin or etonogestrel such as\u00a0Ornibel develops about 6-12 women a blood clots during a year.<\/li>
The risk of a blood clot varies depending on your medical history (see “Factors that may increase the risk of a blood clot” below).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Factors that may increase the risk of a blood clot in a vein<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of a blood clot with Ornibel ring<\/strong> is small but some conditions increase the risk. The risk is higher:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are very overweight (body mass index or\u00a0BMI\u00a0over 30 kg \/ m\u00b2).<\/li>
If a close relative has had a blood clot in the leg, lung, or other organs at a young age (ie younger than about 50 years).\u00a0In that case, you may have a hereditary blood clotting disease.<\/li>
If you need to have surgery or stay in bed for a long time due to an injury or illness, or if you have a plastered leg.\u00a0The Ornibel ring uses<\/strong> may need to be stopped for several weeks before an operation or while you are less mobile.\u00a0If you have to stop using Ornibel, ask your doctor when you can start using it again.<\/li>
With increasing age (especially if you are older than about 35 years)<\/li>
If you gave birth a few weeks ago or less.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The more conditions you have, the greater the risk of developing a blood clot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Air travel (over 4 hours) can temporarily increase the risk of a blood clot, especially if you have any of the other factors listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions, even if you are unsure. Your doctor may decide that you need to stop using Ornibel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If any of the above conditions change while you are using Ornibel, e.g. If a close relative suffers from a blood clot for no known reason or if you gain a lot of weight, talk to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BLOOD CLOTS IN AN ART<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can happen if a blood clot forms in an artery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like a blood clot in a vein, a blood clot in an artery can lead to serious problems. It can e.g. cause a heart attack or stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Factors that may increase the risk of a blood clot in an artery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to know that the risk of a heart attack or stroke due to the use of Ornibel is very small but may increase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With increasing age (after about 35 years of age)<\/li>
If you smoke.\u00a0<\/strong>If you use a combined hormonal contraceptive such as Ornibel, you should stop smoking.\u00a0If you can not stop smoking and are over 35 years old, your doctor may advise you to use another type of contraceptive.<\/li>
If you are overweight<\/li>
If you have high\u00a0blood pressure<\/li>
If a close relative has had a heart attack or\u00a0stroke\u00a0at a young age (younger than about 50 years).\u00a0In that case, you may also be at greater risk for a heart attack or\u00a0stroke<\/li>
If you or a close relative have a high level of blood fats (\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0or\u00a0triglycerides\u00a0)<\/li>
If you get\u00a0migraines, especially\u00a0migraines\u00a0with\u00a0aura<\/li>
If you have heart problems (flap, heart rhythm disorder called\u00a0atrial fibrillation\u00a0)<\/li>
If you have\u00a0diabetes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you have more than one of these conditions or if any of them are particularly serious, the risk of developing a blood clot can be even greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If any of the above conditions change while you are using Ornibel, e.g. If you start smoking, a close relative suffers from a blood clot for no known reason or if you gain a lot of weight, talk to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information below is taken from studies of combined oral contraceptives and may also apply to Ornibel pregnancy ring.<\/strong> Information on vaginally administered hormonal contraceptives (such as Ornibel) is lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breast cancer has been detected slightly more often in women using combined\u00a0contraceptive pills, but it is not known if this is due to the treatment.\u00a0It can e.g.\u00a0be that\u00a0tumors\u00a0er is more often detected in women who use combined\u00a0birth control pills\u00a0because they go to more medical check-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The increased risk of breast cancer gradually decreases when you stop taking combined contraceptive pills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important that you check your breasts regularly and that you contact your doctor\/midwife if you feel any lumps. You should also tell your doctor\/midwife if a close relative has or has previously had breast cancer (see section 2.2 \u201cWarnings and precautions\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In rare cases, benign liver tumors, and in even fewer cases malignant liver tumors, have been reported in women using birth control pills. Contact your doctor\/midwife if you experience unusual severe abdominal pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In women using combined contraceptive pills, it has been reported that cancer of the endometrium (uterine lining) and cancer of the ovaries are less common. This may also apply to Ornibel, but it has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mental Disorders:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some women who use hormonal contraceptives, including Ornibel ring<\/strong>, have reported depression or depression. Depression can be severe and can sometimes lead to suicidal thoughts. If you experience mood swings and symptoms of depression, you should contact a doctor as soon as possible for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.3 Children And Young People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The safety and efficacy of Ornibel in adolescents below 18 years have not been studied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.4 Other Medicines And Ornibel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Always tell your doctor\/midwife which medicines or (traditional) herbal medicines you are already using. Also, tell other doctors and dentists who prescribe medicines and the relevant pharmacy staff that you are using Ornibel. They can tell you if you need to use supplemental protection (for example, male condoms) and if so, for how long or if the use of any other medicine you need needs to be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some medicines<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May have an effect on the blood levels of Ornibel<\/li>
This may make it\u00a0less effective in preventing pregnancy<\/strong><\/li>
May cause unexpected bleeding.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This applies to medicines used to treat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HIV infection (eg ritonavir, nelfinavir , nevirapine, efavirenz)<\/li>
Hepatitis C virus infections (eg boceprevir, telaprevir)<\/li>
Other infectious diseases (eg griseofulvin)<\/li>
High blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs ( bosentan )<\/li>
Depression ((traditional) herbal medicines containing St. John’s wort ).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you are taking medicines or (traditional) herbal medicines that may make Ornibel less effective, a\u00a0barrier\u00a0method should also be used (eg male condoms).\u00a0As the effect of another medicine on Ornibel may persist for up to 28 days after stopping treatment with the medicine, it is necessary to use a\u00a0barrier method\u00a0throughout this time.\u00a0Note: Do not use Ornibel ring <\/strong>with\u00a0diapers\u00a0or female condoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel can also affect the effectiveness of other drugs e.g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medicines containing ciclosporin<\/li>
The epilepsy drug lamotrigine (this may lead to an increased seizure frequency)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Do not use Ornibel if you have\u00a0hepatitis\u00a0C and are taking medicines containing ombitasvir\/paritaprevir\/ritonavir and dasabuvir or glekaprevir\/pibrentasvir as it may lead to increased liver function levels in the blood (an increase in the liver enzyme\u00a0ALT\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your doctor\/midwife will prescribe another type of contraceptive before you start treatment with these medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel can be used approximately 2 weeks after the end of this treatment. See section 2.1 “When not to use Ornibel”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use tampons while using Ornibel. Insert Ornibel before inserting the tampon. Be careful when removing the tampon so that the ring does not accidentally come out. Should this occur, wash the ring in cool or lukewarm water and insert it again immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ring may have ruptured during concomitant use of vaginal products as a lubricant or during the treatment of infection (see section 3.4 \u201c What to do if\u2026 Your ring breaks<\/em> \u201d). Concomitant use with spermicides or antifungals given in the vagina does not affect the effect of Ornibel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laboratory Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are taking blood or urine samples, tell your healthcare provider that you are using Ornibel as it may affect the results of some tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.5 Pregnancy And Lactation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel pregnancy ring<\/strong> should not be used by women who are pregnant or think they may be pregnant. Should you become pregnant while using Ornibel, remove the ring and contact your doctor\/midwife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to stop using Ornibel because you want to get pregnant, see section 3.5 “If you stop using Ornibel”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel is generally not recommended for use during breastfeeding. If you want to use Ornibel while breastfeeding, contact your doctor\/midwife for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.6 Driving And Using Machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is no reason to believe that Ornibel would affect your ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Descriptions ornibel ring side effects<\/em> and effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Use Ornibel Ring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel ring uses<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can insert and remove Ornibel yourself. Your doctor\/midwife will tell you when to start using Ornibel for the first time. Vaginal ring one must be inserted on the correct day in your menstrual cycle (see section 3.3 “Inserting the first ring”) and should remain in place for 3 consecutive weeks. Check regularly that Ornibel is still in the vagina (eg before and after intercourse) to ensure that you are protected against pregnancy. After the third week, take out Ornibel and take a break for a week. Usually, you will get your period during the ring-free interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While using Ornibel, do not use certain female barrier methods, such as pessaries or female condoms. These barrier methods should not be used as complementary contraceptives as Ornibel may impede the correct placement and position of the diaphragm or female condom. However, male condoms can be used as an extra barrier method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.1 How To Insert And Remove Ornibel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Check that the expiry date has not passed (see section 5 \u201cHow to store Ornibel\u201d) before inserting the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Wash your hands before inserting or removing the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Choose the position that feels most comfortable for you, you can e.g. stand with one leg up, squat, or lie down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Remove Ornibel from the sachet. Save the sachet for later use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Hold the ring between your thumb and forefinger, press the sides together, and insert the ring into the vagina (see pictures 1-4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Ornibel is in place, you should not feel anything. If it feels uncomfortable, gently push Ornibel a little further into the vagina. The exact position of the ring in the vagina does not matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Ornibel should be removed after 3 weeks. You do this by hooking your index finger to the bottom edge of the ring or by grasping the edge and pulling it out (see picture 5). If you feel Ornibel in your vagina but cannot remove it yourself, contact your doctor\/midwife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Dispose of the used ring together with other household waste, preferably in the sachet. Do not flush Ornibel down the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n

Insert the ring into the vagina with one hand (Fig. 4A), if necessary you can separate the labia with the other hand. Push the ring up into the vagina until it feels comfortable (Fig. 4B). Leave the ring in place for 3 weeks (Fig. 4C).<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Picture 5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel can be removed by hooking the index finger to the lower edge of the ring or by grasping the edge with the index and middle fingers and pulling it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.2 <\/strong>Three weeks inserted, one week removed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the day when the\u00a0vaginal ring\u00a0is inserted, it must be in place\u00a0without interruption<\/strong>\u00a0for 3 whole weeks.<\/li>
After 3 weeks, the\u00a0Ornibel pregnancy ring<\/strong>\u00a0is removed on the same day of the week and at approximately the same time as it was inserted.\u00a0For example, if you have inserted Ornibel around 10 pm on a Wednesday, you should remove the ring 3 weeks later, around 10 pm on Wednesday.<\/li>
After removing the ring, do not use the ring for 1 week.\u00a0During this week, you should have genital bleeding.\u00a0It usually starts 2-3 days after Ornibel is taken out.<\/li>
Insert a new Ornibel pregnancy ring after exactly one week (again on the same day of the week and at about the same time), even if the bleeding has not stopped.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
If the ring is inserted more than 3 hours late, the contraceptive effect may be reduced. Follow the instructions in section 3.4 “What to do again\u2026 You forgot to insert a new ring after the ring-free interval”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your Ornibel ring uses<\/strong> as described above, your vaginal bleeding will occur every month at about the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.3 Inserting The First Ring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You have not used a hormonal contraceptive in the last month<\/em>Insert your first Ornibel on the first day of your natural menstrual cycle (ie on your first day of bleeding).\u00a0Ornibel works immediately.\u00a0You do not need to use any other contraceptive. It is also possible to start with Ornibel on day 2 to day 5 of the menstrual cycle, but then you must use extra protection (for example a condom) during the first cycle if you have intercourse during the first 7 days with Ornibel.\u00a0You only need to follow these instructions the first time you use Ornibel.<\/li>
You have been using a combined\u00a0pill\u00a0for the past month Start with Ornibel no later than the day after the tablet-free period for your current\u00a0birth control pill.\u00a0If your\u00a0birth control pill\u00a0also contains hormone-free tablets, start with Ornibel no later than the day after the last hormone-free tablet.\u00a0If you are not sure which tablet it is, ask your doctor\/midwife or pharmacist.\u00a0Never allow the hormone-free period for your current\u00a0birth control pills\u00a0to be longer than the recommended time.\u00a0If you have used your\u00a0birth control pills\u00a0correctly and without interruption and if you are sure that you are not pregnant, you can stop taking the tablets at any time and start using Ornibel immediately.<\/li>
You have used a contraceptive\u00a0patch\u00a0in the last month start using Ornibel no later than the day after the patch-free period.\u00a0Never allow the patch-free period to last longer than the recommended time. If you have used the hormone patch correctly and without interruption and if you are sure that you are not pregnant, you can stop using the hormone patch at any time and start using Ornibel immediately.<\/li>
You have been using a\u00a0mini-pill\u00a0(containing only\u00a0progestin\u00a0) for the past month <\/em>You can stop taking your\u00a0mini-pill any day and start taking Ornibel the next day, at the same time as you would normally take your\u00a0pill.\u00a0Be sure to use extra protection (eg condoms) for the first 7 days with Ornibel.<\/li>
You have used an injection or\u00a0implant\u00a0or an IUD during the last month<\/em> Start using Ornibel when you should have your next\u00a0injection\u00a0or the day your\u00a0implant\u00a0or hormone-releasing\u00a0IUD\u00a0is removed.\u00a0Be sure to use extra protection (eg condoms) for the first 7 days with Ornibel.<\/li>
After you have given birth if<\/em> you have just given birth, your doctor\/midwife may tell you to wait for your first spontaneous period before starting Ornibel.\u00a0Sometimes it is possible to start earlier.\u00a0Your doctor\/midwife will give you advice.\u00a0If you are breastfeeding and want to use Ornibel, you should first discuss this with your doctor\/midwife.<\/li>
After miscarriage or abortion,<\/em> Your doctor\/midwife will give you advice.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
3.4 What To Do About\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your ring has been accidentally pushed out of the vagina<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel can be accidentally ejected from the vagina – e.g. if it has not been inserted correctly, when taking out a tampon, during intercourse, during constipation or if you have a prolapse. It is therefore important that you regularly check that the ring is in place in the vagina (eg before and after intercourse).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your ring has temporarily been out of the vagina<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel can still protect you from pregnancy, but it depends on how long it has been out of the vagina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the ring has been out of the vagina<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less than 3 hours<\/strong>\u00a0you are still protected against pregnancy.\u00a0Rinse the ring with cold to lukewarm water (do not use hot water) and replace the ring as soon as possible but only if the ring has been out of the vagina for less than 3 hours.<\/li>
More than 3 hours during the 1st or 2nd week of use<\/strong>, the protection against pregnancy may have been affected.\u00a0Rinse the ring with cold to lukewarm water (do not use hot water) and replace the ring as soon as you remember and leave the ring in place without a socket for at least 7 days.\u00a0Use a male condom if you have intercourse for the next 7 days.\u00a0If it occurs during the first week of use and you have had intercourse during the last 7 days, there is a risk that you are pregnant.\u00a0In such cases, contact your doctor\/midwife.<\/li>
More than 3 hours during the 3rd week<\/strong>, the protection against pregnancy may have been affected.\u00a0Discard the ring and then select one of the following options:
Insert a new ring immediately By inserting a new ring, the next 3-week period begins.\u00a0It is possible that you do not get a period, however, breakthrough bleeding or splashing bleeding may occur.<\/li>
Do not insert the ornibel ring<\/strong> again.\u00a0Wait for your period and then insert a new ring no later than 7 days after the previous ring was removed or pushed out. You should only choose this option if you have used Ornibel continuously for the previous 7 days.<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
If you do not know how long Ornibel has been removed from your vagina, you may not be protected against pregnancy.\u00a0Take a pregnancy test and talk to your doctor\/midwife before inserting a new ring.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Your Ornibel ring<\/em> is breaking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ornibel can burst. Vaginal injuries have been reported in connection with the ring breaking. If you discover that Ornibel has broken, remove the ring and insert a new ring as soon as possible.

You get an unexpected bleeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
While using Ornibel, some women may experience unexpected genital bleeding between menstrual periods. You may need to use menstrual pads.

You want to change the first day of your period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you use Ornibel according to the instructions, you will have your period (dropout bleeding) during the ring-free interval. If you want to change the day when the bleeding starts, you can shorten (but never extend!) The ring-free interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if your period usually starts on a Friday, you can change this to a Tuesday (3 days earlier) from next month onwards. Just insert your next ring 3 days earlier than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you make the ring-free interval very short (eg 3 days or less) you may not get your usual bleeding. You may have spotting (drops or stains of blood) or breakthrough bleeding while using the next ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have any further questions on the ornibel ring uses<\/strong>, ask your doctor\/midwife for advice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to postpone your period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if it is not the recommended regimen, it is possible to postpone the period (dropout bleeding) by inserting a new ring directly after the current one, ie without a ring-free interval between the rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can leave the new ring for a maximum of 3 weeks. While using the new ring, you may experience spotting (drops or stains of blood) or breakthrough bleeding. When you want your period to come, just take out the ring. Have your regular ring-free interval of one week and then insert a new ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can ask your doctor\/midwife for advice before you decide to postpone your period.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
