Could I Be Pregnant Even If I Am On Nuvaring?
On nuvaring for a year now. My last period in June was pretty heavy with blood clots. But my period in July was very light, brownish in color. The week I put new nuvaring in, I had lump in breast that has gone away and dr didn t feel anything upon exam. I have been nauseous since this past Saturday, very tired and sometimes achy. I have not vomited nor do I have fever or any abdominal pain. Could I be pregnant?

hello,
i can understand your concern.
the followings points need to be considered.
if you had given a gap in inserting the new nuvaring instead of inserting after the 1 week period, it would not provide total protection in that calendar month.
was the insertion of the ring the first after a gap of one or two months??? if yes if this was done not on the first day of periods, this wouldnt give full protection during the first week.
if these two scenarios donot fit into your case you are probably not pregnant.
here i would like to mention that with perfect use of the vaginal ring 1 or less than 1 in 100 women can get pregnant. if applied properly this a very safe method.
the symptoms you are facing can also be due to some viral infection.
eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of fuids.
take tylenol if presence of fever is noticed.
in case the symptoms donot subside kindly get an ultrasound pelvis done and an evaluation by your doctor confirm or ruling out pregnancy.
hope i have answered your queries.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
