Update on the Ring Thing

Okay, well as I posted over the weekend, I had had unprotected sex once within the first seven days on my first month on birth control (the Ring), I pulled the ring out on Saturday, due to cramping and the crazy thought of I might be pregnant. Well, someone mentioned that I would probably get a period like bleeding 2-4 days after taking out the ring. Well, I havent experienced anything yet, just still this cramping in my stomach from time to time, I am trying to hold out to when my original period date would be until llike May 6th.

So my question is, is it possible that I did not have enough hormones to make my body think it needs to menstruate now? Was it so little that I am still on a regular schedule?

Also, if you take out the ring, I know it loses its affect after 3 hours, if you have sex that day and it is a "fertile" day, can you still get pregnant?

So many questions, I know I should probably just call my gyno, but I don't wantto be over paranoid thinking I am pregnant if I am not.
