Okay so I've been using NuvaRing for a little over four months now. Previously I was on the pill for years. While on the pill I frequently had irregular periods. The first month on NuvaRing my period was one day late from when I took the ring out. The second and third month my period started immediately the day I was due to take it out, before I actually took the ring out. This month, however, I am currently 5 days late. I was supposed to take it out saturday (today is wednesday) but I forgot and kept it in until sunday. I have symptoms of my period (cramps, bloating) but no actual period. I have regular sex with my boyfriend and no other methods of protection are used. Am I still just adjusting to NuvaRing and this is normal, or is there a chance I could actually be pregnant? I'm just freaking out.
Late period on NuvaRing?

You don't have to start right away, in fact that's unusual. Its usually the 3 or 4 day. Put the new one in in 6 days so you stay on schedule. Its no big deal if you don't have a period every month. If you're using the ring correctly you have less then a 1% chance of pregnancy.
So I should put a new ring in 6 days from saturday (when I was supposed to take it out) or sunday, which is when I actually took it out? even if I never get my period? I thought I was supposed to put a new one in the first day of my period
So did you get you period?? If you did, how late did you have it?? What happend next?? I know you asked your question long time ago, but I am still curious because I have been also waiting my period for currently five days after I took Nuvaring out too... I am freaking out too.. Please let me know what happened next to you in January.
I hope you get my question and answer. Thanks
