Q: Pregnant While Using Nuva Ring?

I am 28 with three children two of which are mine biologically and Monday I went to the doctor for my yearly pap and to renew my BC. I have been on Nuvaring for the past few years with no problems and regular periods. I have been having some headaches so she decided to do some blood work to try and figure it out. She called me Tuesday and said to stop my BC because I was pregnant! I have been on BC for a year without a break, no missed periods, and my husband withdraws as a back up. I took three home tests all negative. When I stopped BC in the past I always would spot and bleed. This morning I started to bleed bright red not much I didn't need a pantyliner or anything and now it has slowed even more and is more brown. I have had no cramping nor any other signs of pregnancy. The OBGYN can't get me in until mid August and no one returned my call this morning. Has anyone had anything similar happen? Is my body just adjusting to coming off the BC? Am I even pregnant? I am really confused!

if you had bloods done, and they came back with the pregnancy hormone, then yes you are pregnant. The bloods dont lie. I personally havent had that experience but have heard of others with similar experiences. Are you happy about the pregnancy? And feel blessed that you dont have a lot of problems or symptoms, i know a lot of the girls here would love to be in your boat!

That is one of my concerns is that I am bleeding and have no symptoms. I normally would be very ill. With both my other pregnancies I lost around 20lbs in the first trimester due to "morning" sickness. This was not planned but I love babies and am concerned about this bleeding (which is now picking up a little) and the doctor did not return my call.

trust your instincts, and if you think there is something to be worried about, head to the hospital. you know your body best, and you know if somethings wrong, so listen to your instincts. Do you know how far along you are?

Prego symptoms while on NuvaRing

I am having some similar issues. I have been having a lot of pregnancy related symptoms for the past month. I have taken two home tests and both have come back negative. I am still on my BC as of right now, will be calling the DR this week to get some blood work done. It is possible for the hormones in the NuvaRing could affect the results of a urine test? I am scared and nervous now. I have 2 little ones now, and have been on NuvaRing for 11 months now-no breaks or misses!

Answer and help!!

The NuvaRing will not affect a urine test. I think that I got pregnant and had a miscarriage without knowing about it on the NuvaRing but my doctor told me not to worry about it..which thinking that i may have miscarried, I am def worried. I had prego symptoms which included nausa,fatigue lower back aches, but then started my period the bleeding was normal and only lasted 4 days, but then I had a yellowish mucas discharge for 3 days then extream heavy bleeding and cramping for a week, then back to normal bleeding. I don't know what happened but the doctor urine test came back negative for pregnancy, now I'm thinking I might actually be prego but in case I'm not, I haven't stopped my BC...any answers please???
