When To Do The Blood Test For Pregnancy After Missing Periods?

I am 34 and healthy. Started to use Nuvaring in December, but with holidays and family stressors, I inadvertently left it in for 6 weeks... I took it out a week ago and inserted a new one yesterday, but have not had my period during my week off. Home pregnancy tests are negative. When is the soonest a blood pregnancy test would give me answers. I'm on topical Retin A and just stopped it.

Hi, you can take up a blood test for pregnancy now also. It will confirm that you are pregnant or not. You may not get your periods in nuvaring free interval because it may take one to 2 weeks to get the periods after taking out the nuvaring.
