Okay, i just started using the nuvaring exactly 21 days ago, today is the day i am to take out the nuva ring. On wed. ( today is monday, so about 5 days ago) i took a pregnancy test, it was the morning of my birthday and i had woke up lactating, is that normal? any ways i did the pregnancy test and the positive was faint but enough where you could see it.I have done 4 pregnancy tests since then they have all been the same except for one. One came up negative. is it possible that i could be pregnant? i have very mild cramping and very mild lower back pain. My mood swings have been terrible.i am also very bloated. i was also wondering if anyone has heard of someone getting pregnant while using the nuvaring. since i am a new user i thought maybe im just freaking out and it could just be side effects...
thankz for your help in advance

there may be a possibility that i was pregnant before starting nuvaring im not sure the reason why i started using nuvaring was because i was bleeding for 8 months, after stopping depo, then to find out that i had a cyst on my right ovary and to drain it they wanted me to use birth control, so since i was bleeding midly i guess there is a small chance for me to get pregnant, so my last period actually started in august of 2006 and never stopped, it would get lighter once in a while, and then i went to the hospital because i was bleeding so heavily i was making puddles on the floor throught my pants cuz the gushes were so heavey they figured it to be a misscariage, but it was to late to find have a d&c since it had been like that for almost 4 days before i went in, thats when they had found the cyst. i also have been sick the last too mornings and i have dry heaves when ever i get too hot, i just thought it was weird that i was lactating, since i had my son 2 years ago and i dried up over night when he was 3 1/2 weeks old and have never lactated since.

I would call your doctor as soon as possible and get a blood test done.
