OK, this is a weird one.

My fiancée and I have been using the nuvaring for a while, she loves it and I think its great.

Now, she accidentally took it out a week early, had her period early, and put another one back in. This all happened the week before she was suppused to take it out. During this time we had intercourse 3 times.

Were not seriously worried about her being pregnant, at this point if she is, she is and we'll take care of the little one.

Anybody know what our chances could potentially be?

Did you have intercourse while it was out? If so, that increases your chances to 50/50.

No. We had intercourse the day she took it out, (she took it out much later that evening).

We have always abstained from sex on the ''week off''.

Her period came and went as normal, and she put one back in. I After the new one was in we had intercourse 3 more times. It wasn't until after this that she realized that this all happened a week early.

Odds are she was still protected. It works similar to many birth control pills in that the protection continues during the off week as well and no other form of protection is required. Obviously no form of birth control is 100% even when used correctly.
