SSL issue

I just set up an SSL for one of my sites. I made the mistake and set it up under [example.com...] and not http://www.example.com. I can't change it for 30 days. What is my best option so that it doesn't hurt my ranking. Should I set up a sub domain and forward it to the non www so that the SSL works or should I change it in the htacces file?

I'm worried that I will lose all my ranking in that 30days. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,

An SSL certificate contains the names the domains for which it is considered valid. If you buy a certificate for example.com, it will most of the time also contain a reference to www.example.com. You may want to check this before doing any further steps.

I can't change it for 30 days.

Could you explain this a little bit more? I don't exactly understand where the month waiting period is originating from. Normally you should be able to reinstall you certificate from example.com to www.example.com without any waiting period.
