If my period did not start after I removed the the NuvaRing, does that mean I am pregnant?

Answer by  Travis404607 (3916)

You are not necessarily pregnant. Stopping and starting birth control begins major hormonal changes, and these can easily delay periods. The best way to find out if you are pregnant or not is to wait seven days after your missed period and take a pregnancy test just to be safe.

No, it just means that your system is going through a hormonal change and will reformat back too its normal stage and become regular.

The chance is most likely 50/50. Many women, irregardless of what type of birth control have very irregular periods. Simply switching on and/or off any different type of birth control can throw of a woman's menstrual cycle. If you think you are pregnant you may want to take an at-home pregnancy test. Then see your physician to confirm it.

That does not mean you are pregnant. It is of course POSSIBLE that you are pregnant but periods csn be delayed for a lot of reasons. If you are stressed or have gained or lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, this can cause you to not have a period.

This does not mean that you are pregnant. Your body simply requires some time to re-adjust to no longer being on birth control medication.

No. It does not mean you are pregnant. However, pregnancy is a possibility. Continue to follow the instructions on the NuvaRing packaging and take a pregnancy test.

There are many reasons why you could have skipped a period, being pregnant is one of them. You should go to your family doctor and be tested for pregnancy but don't get your hopes up too soon. A diet that is lacking in certain nutrients can also cause your body to skip a menstral cycle.
