Risk of Pregnancy After Abrupt Birth Control Change: A Medical Perspective

Question
I was on triprevifem bc pill for a month plus a week and a half... I then switched to nuva ring without using any backup method of birth control. My bf didn't want me on nuvaring so after about 5 days I took nuvaring out. The following day I took the next triprevifem pill in the pack I was using before. My bf an I have a lot of sex and never use condoms. What is the likelihood that I might become pregnant.? I've been feeling very sluggish for the past couple of days

Answer
Britney,

I can't really tell you the chances of pregnancy over the internet. You will have to take a pregnancy test and/or see if you develop any pregnancy symptoms besides feeling sluggish. Do you want to be pregnant or will it be a problem if you are. I am glad that you took out the nuvaring because I don't recommend that. I also don't recommend the birth control pill or any kind of hormonal birth control methods. This is because of side effects and possible risks to your health.
