Birth Control/Nuvaring

Question
The last day of my menstrual cycle was Dec 29,2010. I inserted the Nuvaring on Jan 1, 2011. I took the ring out Sunday(1.23.11) and my cycle has not started. I always go into panic mode when I don't get my cycle so I have taken like 3 over the counter tests all are negative. Do you think I just need to wait and see if I will get my cycle this week and if I don't get it should I go see my doctor just to make sure everything is okay.

Answer
Did you get the question I answered below.

Dear Loraine,

Thanks for your question. I wondered if your cycle ever started. I can recommend a place to get a free pregnancy test. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or if you are not in the U.S. then go to http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the link.

Let me know what happens. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com and hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
