NuvaRing & Late Period: Possible Pregnancy?


Question
I have been on NuvaRing for a year now and have a regular 28 day period.  
My period started on Aug 26 and ended on aug 30.  I had sex on September 7 and my period again on the 25.  After that menstration I stopped using the NuvaRing (i broke up with my boyfriend so figured i didn't need it anymore).
I am now 5 days late for my period and have never-even before birth control-been late or off time.
could this be somehow due to a pregnancy?  I have tested negative to an at home kit.
Is this a common issue with ending birth control--specifically nuvaring?
i have not undergone any personal stress or anxiety in my life (my boyfriend was a loser and work is great).
any suggestions?
I am now

Hello Liz,
Hope that I can help in some way but I'm not as familiar with the NuvaRing as I am with other birth control methods. Please check with your physician about this. Also, it seems that you did not complete your email as you end it with "I am now.."
Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com with more info if you can. It is somewhat possible that you could be pregnant and a kit would not show up yet. This is a website to find a free testing center if there is one in your area. http://www.optionline.org
Hope to hear from you again soon.
