On Nuva ring and missed a period Posted: 04-27-08 20:14pm
I've been taking the nuvaring for over a
year. Before that I was on the patch for
over six months but I did not like it( a
lot of body shaking once a put it on). I
loved the nuvaring. I never had any side
effects. But just this month I missed my
period. I been following the rules
exactly. I called my doctor and she said
to take a pregnancy test. I took the
pregnancy test and it came back negative.
My doctor said that if it comes back
negative to start the ring on the day I
would have started it. I am just concerned
that I still may be pregnant and if so
that the inserted ring will harm the baby.
Like I said that I've been on the ring for
over a year and never had this problem.
What should I do?

the nuvaring wont harm the baby if you are
pregnant - i fell pregnant on the
pill...my doctor said there would be no
side effects...
but i say follow your isntinct, maybe
leave it out and let your body get back to
normal (use condoms as contraception in
the meantime). once you get your regular
period then insert a new one...i too am
having issues at the moment, with
nuvaring.
