Question
I recently have taken a break from using Nuva Ring(about 3 months.) On Dec 23rd i stopped my period and On Dec 25th me and my husband had unprotected sex and he came inside me. The next morning i decided to put my Nuva Ring back in..Is there a possibility i could be pregnant??

Answer
Assuming you have regular periods, it's very unlikely for you to get pregnant the day after your period stops.  This depends partly on how long your periods last.  Assuming your cycles are about 28 days, you would usually ovulate around day 14.  If it's a regular ovulatory cycle, the soonest you could ovulate again is day 7, but it would be extremely unlikely for you to do so.  That would result in a 21 day cycle, and if you've never had that before, it's highly unlikely to happen now.  So the short answer is, it's not impossible for you to be pregnant, but very, very unlikely.  Best wishes.
