Nuvaring and late periods

[nikkigoesdown.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. I recently just started nuvaring; I'm on my second month. I used to be on it for about a year or two about 3 or so years ago. When I used to be on it, from what I remember, my periods always came on time. Last month I took out my ring at 9:30pm on Wednesday night and got my period Friday overnight/Saturday morning. This month I took the ring out around 11pm/12am on Wednesday night (I know, I'm stupid for forgetting). Well, it's Saturday, almost 6:30pm and I still haven't got it, not even spotting. Should I be worried? Is this abnormal?

FYI My boyfriend and I did have sex without a condom and he came in me. We should be protected, but I know it's not always 100% which is why I'm a bit worried.

It's normal to occasionally be a couple of days early/late once in awhile, even WHILE on birth control.

I had the same thing happen once while on nuvaring...most of the time, it was like exact clockwork...but once, my period was 2 or 3 days later than usual in coming.

Give it a little bit. Your body may still be adjusting to being back on it. If, after 5 days, you STILL haven't gotten your period, you may want to take a test...but I wouldn't worry right now.

Okay great. This definitely gave me some relief.

As long as you haven't been leaving the ring in for more than 28 consecutive days you should be fine. Sometimes being on HBC for a long time can make your bleeds come later and later or disappear completely. I wouldn't worry if I were you unless you can remember a particular mishap (taking the ring out for more than 3 hours, etc.).

I actually spoke way too soon. I got my period later than night, thankfully.
