    While the chances are low, yes you can.

    Hi. It looks like for the week that you don't use the nuva ring that you are OK. On the site I went to it said this:
    WHEN DO I REMOVE THE NuvaRing®?
    Remove the ring three weeks after insertion, at approximately the same time of day, if possible. Place it in the foil envelope in which it was originally packaged and throw away. Contraceptive protection continues throughout the ring-free week.

    I got that info from this site:

    Hope this helps! :-)

    On some other forums I read someone said that you could get pregnant so I was just double checking

    The link is bad...
    This one has info NuvaRing®: What is NuvaRing?, vaginal contraceptive ring, birth control ring

    Also note the bit that says only 99% effectiveness... that 1% actually accounts for a lot of people. No birth control is 100% effective, you can ALWAYS get pregnant on any form of BC. If you don't want to be pregnant, either abstain from sex or use a backup method such as a condom.
