Is Pregnancy Possible While On Nuvaring?
I m on the second month of using Nuvaring, the first time i used it on the Last day of my period so i waited 7 days to have unprotected sex, then I had it for 21 days and i took it off as it should be, now i put it again on the last day of my period but this time i didn t wait and i had unprotected sex the same day hours after i put it, is there any risk of getting pregnant?

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.
