You are not suppose to take the Nuva Ring out once you insert it. The ring must remain in place continuously for three weeks to protect against pregnancy, followed by a one-week ring-free interval.
The ring should be removed 3 weeks after insertion, on the same day of the week as it was inserted, at the same time. For example, if you insert your NuvaRing (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring) on a Monday at 8:00 a.m., you should remove it on the Monday 3 weeks later at 8:00 a.m.
Unfortunately, it probably wasn't effective based on the way you used it.
