Can Extending The Use Nuvaring Increase Chances Of Pregnancy?
I am currently using Nuvaring. I accidently left it in one week too long, taking it out on day 28 instead of day 21. On the 28th day my husband and I had sex. I usually start my period a few days after I remove the nuvaring but I haven't had any spotting. I am concerned that I may be pregnant, a hope pregnancy test said I was not pregnant. With having the nuvaring in one extra week, am I still protected with birth control?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Putting nuvaring in for one more week can not raise chances of pregnancy...your protection was already there as you had already worn the ring for 21 days.. &the menstrual cycle was already without ovulation.
But the delay in removal of ring has caused delay in getting withdrawal bleeding.. which is considered ..
to be menstruation.Now because of late removal of the ring... you would have bleeding late by 8- 10 days.pl. don't worry.
Thanks.
