hi,
nuva ring can cause side effects like menstrual irregularities, pain abdomen, bloating sensation of the abdomen, head ache, nausea etc,
these will be usually subside soon, the temperature can affect the efficacy to some extent and also nuva ring is having some amount of failure rate, so if you are having doubt regarding pregnancy better to go for blood test once which will rule out the possibility.
take care.
