NUVA RING?????

[Bree17]

I started using Nuva Ring about 2 months ago. I put it in, the first month, toward the last few days of my period, maybe the 6th day.... I think... My boyfriend and i did have sex within the first 7 days without a back up method but i didnt think much about it then. The first month, everything was fine NO side effects. I took it out on monday for the week its supposed to be out but didnt start my period until late friday and it was very light and only lasted until about dinner time on sunday. A few days before this period i started having "pregnancy-like" symptoms, I just figured it was all due to the ring. So i put my new ring in on monday, it fell out a few times this month, and yes it was out for more than 3 hours one time. I took it out today because its time for my period, but i think i might actually be pregnant. I have symptoms that are closer to the pregnancy symptoms than the nuva ring symptoms.... Could i have gotten pregnant?

The symptoms that i started noticing before my period last month, have been getting worse or at least staying the same, none of them have stopped or quit. I still have all the same symptoms and some new ones...

though i dont think you could possibly be experiencing pregnancy symptoms within the 1st month, i could be wrong.  but i do think b/c you didnt follow the instructions and had sex w/out backup w/in the 1st 7 days, that you could possibly pregnant.  if you suspect pregnancy, i believe you are to stop taking birth control and get tested asap

I agree with treazzure007, you should probably stop the birth control and just take a $5 test from Wal-mart or something.  I wouldn't stop the birth control until you talk to your dr first though.  I have one daughter and I found out I was pregnant like when I was 3 months.  Anyway the only symptom I had during the first month was a craving for a certain type of ice cream, and my breasts were kinda sensitive.  But I didn't think I was pregnant because I was on the pill then (I was on an antibiotic, so that's how I got pregnant).  If you take a test even while you are still on BC it will still show up pregnant if you are.
