What Are The Chance Of Pregnancy After NuvaRing Removal?

i use nuvaring for over a year now and last month i had sex on the pool and a week before i remove the ring i had a small bleeding that went away, and now i'm on the pause on using the ring and I dind't had my period yet, it usually comes on the third day of the pause, and I'm on the 6th day now. Is it possible that the water of the pool damaged the ring and i got pregnant?

Hi,
I understand your query.
The Nuvaring is to be used for 21 days at a stretch & given a pause of 7 days - during this period,usually patient has bleeding- because the hormone inbuilt in ring is withdrawn. So it is not possible to conceive within 7 days of withdrawal.You have passed 6 days out of 7 days pause- you still can have it tomorrow.
The bleeding you had while removing the ring might be from cervical erosion
Only possibility of pregnancy is slipping /displacement of ring.( Which is possible due to water in pool.)
Thanks.
