When should I insert new NuvaRing when I forgot to take it out for a week?

If you forgot to remove your NuvaRing for a week, you should remove it as soon as you remember, even if it’s been in longer than the recommended three weeks. After removing it, insert a new ring immediately. You should also use backup contraception for the next seven days to prevent unintended pregnancy. If you had unprotected sex during the week it was left in, consider consulting a healthcare provider about emergency contraception.
