On Nuvaring. Now Periods Irregular, Spotting, Swollen Breasts Heartburn. Pregnancy Test Negative. Chances Of Pregnancy?
I am 34 years old. I have been on Nuvaring for 11 months. My last 3 periods have been extremely irregular: spotting and/or brown discharge and only last 1 day (my periods are usually 4 -5 days). I have swollen breasts (where I am actually getting stretch marks), VERY sore nipples, cramps in my lower abdomen, heartburn, mood swings, back pain and I have the "bump". About 6 weeks ago I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. What are the chances that I am pregnant?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
When you are on Nuvaring, the chances of pregnancy are minimal. The irregular spotting that you are having is commonly seen with Nuvaring. This does not indicate pregnancy.
