Common Questions and Answers about Nuvaring failure rate

Avatar f tn The only real fool proof method of birth control, is to not have sex- even with correct use, there is some failure rate of the ring, so it's certainly possible that you could have gotten pregnant on the 29th. Although, it's likely you are not- so many things have to happen at just the right time in order for pregnancy to occur. Are you having any symptoms or just worried in general? Hope things turn out the way you would like them to!

991222 tn?1333990733 I don't know much about IUDs. I'm currently nursing and on Micronor (a mini BCP only containing progesterone) and I can tell you that if you're not good at remembering to take a daily pill, then this is not a good option for you - it's got a pretty high failure rate when used alone, especially when you don't take it at the SAME TIME every day. Both my GP and my pharmacist have drilled this into my head, lol.
Avatar n tn I thought the soonest was as soon as a missed period. Could you tell us the name or send me a link? I don't think the embryo would have even implanted and started producing hCG at 3 days. @Shruti17: I think you have no chance of being pregnant from this. It is possible to get pregnant from precum, but it's a much smaller chance than with ejaculate, and you probably didn't even get any precum inside you.
Avatar m tn Hi, Atrial fibrillation with heart failure should be promptly treated to prevent complications like thromboembolism, end stage heart failure etc. Rhythm control and rate control measures are required for your husband. What was the underlying cause for atrial fibrillation? If any cause is present that should be treated first to control this situation. Drugs like beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin are useful in controlling rate.
Avatar f tn I think you're fine. You didn't even get any pre-ejaculate in your vagina, and although it's possible to get pregnant while using the withdrawal method, the failure rate is actually only 4% per year if it's done right. Semen doesn't magically crawl its way from the outside in--it has to swim, and sperm don't like air. If you really can't afford to be pregnant, then consider getting on some form of birth control, and use condoms for any sort of intercourse.
Avatar m tn i started Nuvaring 3 weeks ago yesterday when i was supposed to ive had sex w/o protection quite a few times since. I was supposed to start my period yesterday Im NEVER late early if anything I took a pregnancy test last night and it came back negative. Is it possible that I am pregnant and that its just not showing up positive yet?
1134902 tn?1296066144 I am sorry to hear about your issues with nuvaring. I had started the nuvaring for perimenopause issues my gyn said would help. No docs Ive talked to since have heard of this being used for anything other than birth control my but tubs have been tied for years.After having nuvaring in for almost three weeks i started to bleed lite not spotting and its dark and not a pleasant smell at all never have had an Oder like that in 46 years and i cant stand it.
1293858 tn?1272396271 I started using the NuvaRing on April 15th and before I used the IUD. I took out the NuvaRing on May 6th but did not have my period. So I put it back in 7 days later. On the 7th day I noticed around my nipples were sore and still to this day they are still sore. So is there a chance I could be pregnant or could his be due to the NuvaRing?
Avatar m tn My periods have been very heavy with the past one lasting two weeks with large tissue discharge. It just ended Sunday after beginning one week before removing Nuvaring and only ending once Nuvaring was reinserted. It is so irregular that I could bleed any time of the month at any intensity for any period of time. This past one was so bad that I had to sleep with a heating pad nightly. What could this mean?
Avatar f tn I had unprotected sex today. I recently started on Nuvaring and was told I needed 7 days for it to become effective. Today is the 7th day. Should I take a Plan B just in case?
Avatar f tn I had sex while i wasn’t on the NuvaRing but he said he pulled out. I put the NuvaRing in the week I usually get my period so i know I’d go a month without my period. i’m having cramps like period cramps now. Could that be signs of a pregnancy or is that okay?
Avatar f tn I was on the NuvaRing for 3 months straight and used it to skip my cycle. After the 3rd or 4th week I would take it out & put in a new ring. While doing this I still bled either light or really heavy. I stopped using the NuvaRing the week before Thanksgiving. My husband & I started trying to make a baby soon after taking the ring out. I have not had a cycle since i’ve taken the NuvaRing out and it’s going on a month now.
Avatar f tn i miscarried at 8 weeks with blighted ovum and after that devestation i used nuvaring again and this time faithfully.......i took out my nuvaring and didnt think much of it until the next day when i started throwing up everywhere! i bought a test for the hell of it and it said PREGNANT! i was in complete shock because i had been on the nuvaring for a while! i used at end of JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER and found out i was pregnant in october!!!
Avatar f tn You state in your title that you have a low heart rate but describe your issue in % which is more related to ejection fraction rate. Are you clear on whether the doctor was describing your heart rate or ejection fraction. This could very well determine how troubling your issue really is. I would think a slow heart rate would be not quite as troubling as a low ejection fraction that said, I would assume you are being treated for your heart failure. Please do not stop doing so.
Avatar n tn I started the NuvaRing for the first time, I inserted 18 days after the start of my period ( or 15 days after the end of my period) and it has been in for 12 days consecutively. I had unprotected sex on the 12th day of having the NuvaRing in, at this point is it an effective form of birth control ?
1467724 tn?1286430368 If her heartbeats are 15 and should be 60, she may benefit from a pacemaker which will regulate the rate of her heart to a preset rate and hopefully help her - also if it is heart failure she may need meds to help with that. Here's the forum on MH that deals with heart failure a bit more: http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn I have been on the nuvaring for three months now, yesterday at work while in the bathroom i noticed a small amount of brownish blood on the toilet paper . I normally have this type of blood at the beginning of my period. I experienced this while the nuvaring was still in, but thought it was just breakthrough bleeding. I went home on break and checked my calendar and realized i should have taken the nuvaring out the day before.
Avatar f tn I have a question my first time using the nuvaring and I took it out that 2nd week so onJune 29 I took my nuvaring out and never put it back in had sex the next day and we had sex 3 times that day ... I never put my nuvaring back in so I started having a bad migraine and my stomach started cramping on July 3 and July 4 as of today I spotted blood a little ..
Avatar f tn Hi! My Gyno put me on nuvaring and this is my first time using one of the birth control methods. I inserted the ring on 5th day of my period, which was 4/1, on 4/5 and 4/6 , I had intercourse and didn't use condom as I have the ring in. Am I safe? Should I take plan b? If so, is it safe to take plan b when you're on the rung? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I am using the nuvaring and have been since July. I took antibiotics about 6 weeks ago for a cough. I was suppose to start my period on Jan 9th. I started on the 4th but it was only spotting that day then nothing since. I've been having alot of pregnancy symptoms and need some advice. Has this happened to anyone else?
Avatar f tn Hi! I'm 20 years old and I just had my period March 30-April 2. This has been my first period in awhile because I have been using Nuvaring and skipping my periods. I didn't put in my nuvaring on the day I was suppose to. I have had unprotected sex on the 6 day before ovulation and 4 days before ovulation. What are my chances of getting pregnant? I'm not going to put my nuvaring in just in case I am. It is too early to take a test so I come here for some answers.
