You should most likely start nuvaring after your period has started, but please read the directions and follow the guidelines. Most of the patient information brochures that come with the hormonal contraceptives provide several options of when to start, and feel free to ask us if you don't understand your options after reading the literature.
You are wanting to know your chances of pregnancy, since you have stopped taking hormonal contraception for the past 10 days? Have you had unprotected sex during this time? As long as you use a condom from now until you start nuvaring, and then continuing using back-up method (condom) for the first 7 days of this new birth control, you would be 98% protected from pregnancy.
