Hi. It’s been a long while since I’ve posted on here, but I’m actually really psyching myself out and need some support. I just came back from a two week trip to europe with my boyfriend. Believe me when I say it was INCREDIBLE. we went to Paris and London, each for a week. Okay. So now to the topic of this post. I’m on the Nuvaring. It’s supposedly 99% effective. Now my boyfriend and I slipped up, got caught in the moment SEVERAL times on this trip and had unprotected sex. I really didn’t think of it, I’ve always used my birth control right, replaced it on time, etc. but it ran out on the 8th (it’s now the 15th) and normally as soon as it runs out I get my period. It’s seriously the day that i take my ring out BAM, there she blows. But this time there’s nothing. I bled for about two days on our trip and that was it. I promised my family I wouldn’t come home pregnant from this trip. it’s the last thing I want right now, I’m just starting college after taking a gap year, I’m 19, and my boyfriend is also 19, going into his second year in another state. I want to be a kindergarten teacher. But I’m honestly terrified that if I buy this test, I’ll see two lines. I don’t want to change my life in this way quite yet, I’m not financially or mentally ready for a baby. I want to be a mother someday down the road, but not until I have a steady job and am married. I’m just terrified I guess. Please no negativity. I know I made a mistake going unprotected but it happened and it’s over now. I just need some support. Please.

UPDATE:

I took a test and it was negative!!!! Thank god!
