A member asked:

If i left nuvaring in for four weeks took it out and had sex the 5th day it was out can i be pregnant?

Take a test: It's unlikely but possible that you may be pregnant. Check a home pregnancy test to confirm. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and easy to perform. If you don't have access to one, see your doctor and get it done in the office.

Unlikely but possibl: Check with a home pregnancy test.. Stick to the regimen advised, do not experiment. Nuvaring is active for 3 weeks.
