Data are n, unless otherwise indicated.

Subject diary cards were used to determine if the contraceptive vaginal system was removed temporarily (between 2 h and 23 h) on a day when the system was scheduled to be in. Some subjects did not return diary cards, and thus could not be grouped by temporary system removal; thus, the numbers of pregnancies and cycles do not sum to the total number of participants.

41 pregnancies included in these analyses.
