I had taken out my nuvaring for a day or two to have my ring free week. I was planning to see my boyfriend in a week so since my period hadnt come i put in a new ring. I ended up seeing him sooner than expected and forgot i hadnt had it in a full week yet. we had sex twice on friday with no condoms, i took the ring out on monday and I have no period yet 6 days later. should i wait longer or will a pregnancy test work right now?
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. If you put a new ring in sooner than it needed to be replaced, and it has been in only for 3 days, and you removed it, you likely will not get a period at all since the ring has not yet been in for three weeks.  In addition, you are still protected against pregnancy if you did not have the ring out for more than seven days.  You do not need a week for the ring to be effective except when you first start using it, as long as no more than 7 days goes by between wearing rings. So if I understand your timing correctly, you do not need to worry about being pregnant. A pregnancy test will only be positive at least 2-3 weeks after an unprotected encounter, so it is too early to test now, however you are not at risk for pregnancy. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that this information was reassuring. Best wishes,
