We are trying to conceive and I recently
went off of the Nuva Ring. I have been on
the Nuva Ring for approx 3 yrs, with only
a few months off every once in awhile.
Prior to that I had been on the pill for
approx 5 yrs.
I bought an OPK, and Friday night (May
9th) it was negative, but Sat (May 10th)
it was positive indicating the surge and
that ovulation would occur within 24-36
hrs. It was also positive Sunday (2
tests) and Monday.
We had sex Sunday (May 11th) morning,
approx 34-46 hrs after surge.
I am in the zone for my period if we
didnt' conceive, and am wondering if maybe
the hCG is so low that it's not producing
a result on the Pregnancy Test.
My question (2 part), after this huge
story, is #1 can I have a surge while on
Nuva Ring, even though its meant to
prevent ovulation and #2 how long once off
the Nuva Ring do the hormones go back to
normal?
THank you for any help.

Some women still ovulate on NuvaRing (or
any other estrogen birth control) so that
could explain the surge. How long have you
been off of it?
When you first come off of the ring, you
might get some really weird readings.

This month will be 2 months off the nuva
ring. I'm monitoring my morning temp to
guage when I will ovulate to get a better
understanding of what is normal for me,
without being on the nuva ring.
Seems so simple to just line up the
ovulation time with sex, but if your body
isnt' balanced it won't happen. Could
have a fertilized egg and it just not
attach.
Let me know if you know how long it
usually takes once off the ring and what I
can do to help speed it up and/or enhance
my ability.
Thanks!

Some women regulate right away after
getting off of it, but for some it may
take a few months. Are your periods
regular? That would be a sign that your
cycle has regulated. I've heard somewhere
that tracking ovulation is most effective
once you've had three regular (not birth
control induced) periods.
If after a few months, your cycle hasn't
regulated, your doctor can prescribe you
medicataion to jump start it, but that
probably won't be necessary.
Remember that a normal healthy couple can
take up to a year to conceive!!
