Hello,
I have been on the ring for 3 years. I've always thought it to be a fool-proof method until now. So I inserted a new ring on a Friday. I had intercourse that night. On Monday I am bleeding. So I check, sure enough, no ring. It had been in the bed and we had never seen it! That is basically 10 days without a ring! So I immediately inserted a new ring (while cursing at myself on having to essentially waste one) I figured the bleeding/spotting would stop. But it went on the entire month and then ended right when I should have gotten my period. So today I put in a new ring since it had been out for a week. I'm a tad bit freaked that I didn't have a period, but I'm thinking that the lining had been shed over the course of the month. Do you think I should take a pregnancy test? After I realized that I had been ring free, I'm thinking that I didn't have intercourse again for 11 days, but since then I have a few more times.
What do you think?
Thanks, Jen

Hi
Jill
I took a test just to be sure and it was negative. I was getting worried because I am more tired than usual and getting dizzy sometimes. I think that was because I am exercising and I wasn't eating enough. I ate more today and felt much better.
I'm just glad I'm not pregnant!
