Q: Removed NuvaRing 10 Days Ago & STILL No Period!??

Is this normal? or could this mean pregnancy? I have other pregnancy-related symptoms, but those symptoms could be so many other things as well. Therefore, I'm wondering how common it is to not start a period during the 4th week. This is my first time using NuvaRing. I can't remember for certain if I waited the iniital 7 days prior to having sex; but my friend also informed me that taking antibiotics can interfere with birth control. The same day that I was prescribed the NuvaRing, I was also prescribed daily Amoxicillin for acne. Is anyone aware if this could be a possibility too if I AM pregnant? Symptoms I've had started about 3 weeks ago (I believe 1 or 2 weeks after intercourse). At that time it was extreme fatigue, which I had attributed to starting a new exercise regimen. For about a week and a half now I've felt sick to my stomach as though I need to throw up on a daily basis all day long. I've had bloating in the last few days and some cramping in my lower abdomen similar to IBS symptoms, which I also have, but my medication for that does not help. The last couple weeks I've had all over back pain mostly when standing. I've also had very tender/sore breasts for a couple weeks. Also, for the last 2-3 weeks I've had nearly continuous headaches. I've needed OTC medications for that 2-3 times daily. And, I have had a lack of appetite yet I get to feeling SO hungry that I feel sick. Sometimes eating doesn't help. All this sounds to me like I need ta get tested! So... also, what is the best way to get the most accurate and quick results?

You need to do several things. Get a few pregnancy tests, lookin into other BC that also help alleviate acne and blemishes and maybe talk with your partner about the possibility of you being pregnant. If you are and you decide to have an abortion you want him to know as soon as possible that you may be pregnant so that he could possibly helo you prepare for an abortion.
