Nuvaring, Can it be used during fasting?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Good day! My name's Anna. The point is that, i have 1 day without a food per a week. (I have one fasting day weekly). This is my health live style. I plan to begin to use a contraceptive Nova Ring. Can i use a Nova Ring, if i have a one fasting day weekly? Whether the contraceptive effect will be kept? Please, reply!!!!!!!! P.S. English is not my native language. Sorry for mistakes.

Dear Anna: Nuvaring is a combination hormonal contraceptive vaginal ring containing ethylene vinyl acetate. The common side effects of Nuvaring is vaginitis, headache, leukorrhea. You may use Nuvaring for contraception. Fasting will not affect the contraceptive action of the device. I hope I am able to answer your question, take care.
