Unprotected Sex And Had Not Put Nuvaring For The Past Week. Tests Say Negative. Delayed Period And Chances?

I have been taking vyvanse 40 mgs for prly about 6 monthes. My periods have been regular up until this one. I think I might be pregnant because we had unprotected sex many times when I thought I had put my nuvaring back in but I hadnt had it in for a week! I am now about 2-3 days late and every test ive taken says negative. Could this be a false negative? I really hope so... Haha

Hello,

Nuvaring is once a month birth control method. But without it for 7 days prior to period, chance of pregnancy is quite low.

Here, I suggest you to wait at least 1 week to get your period. If it does not comes out, you must do a blood test for beta-hCG. It is more confirmatory. Early pregnancy test is less significant.

Hope, it helps. Good luck.
