Off of birth control for a month, missed period
Some backgroung:
The first time I got on birth control I had been late for my period for the month, but the doctor told me to put in the NuvaRing anyway, the next month I had my period. I was on birth control for a few months and I decided to skip a month of birth control, and I had sex a few times. Not to get too personal about this; but my boyfriend has never came inside me, we don't use the 'pull out' method. We stop before he even gets close ( I understand it could still happen,) But I'm late again so I just put in the birth control. I'm not quite sure if that was the right decision.

If everything was working fine when you were using the Nuvaring the dr. prescribed and you were getting your period as you should, then you have to explain why you decided to skip a month.
If you were experiencing symptoms and wanted to know if they are symptoms caused by using Nuva ring, to stop using it might sound like a way to tell but it's really not. Your body could still have lingering effects of the hormones for quite some time. Not using any birth control at all is invitation to getting pregnant. I assume since you've been messing around with birth control, that you do not want to become pregnant. At this point it may be too late, you may be pregnant. I don't know how long since the unprotected sex and Plan B emergency contraception is only good for a certain period of day immediately after if taken. Its probaby best if you go right back to your Dr and get a pregnancy test, and if you are not pregnanct, ask to be put on the copper IUD contraceptive,, called Paragard....there are no hormones used with side effects, only the copper to prevent pregnancies. I used it almost 8 yrs . You don't have to take it daily, weekly, or anything It can last up to 10 yrs from the one time insertion into uterus. And you can still have babies later when its removed again. This is the most carefree method of birth control, no mess, no bother...so I highly suggest you demand to have the IUD placed inside, otherwise, I predict if not pregnant now, you will be by the end of this year or sooner with your current record of birth control or lack of it.
