Hi,

Nuvaring is 99% protective, still 10% chances of getting pregnant even if you use the ring properly. If you have any symptoms in favor of pregnancy.
I advice you to:
- Do serum beta hCG test which is more reliable than HPT.
- Take iron and calcium supplements
- Nutritious diet

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
