I'm on the nuva ring, so there's no chance that I missed a dose, but I had unprotected sex 22 days ago. I'm on the week where I leave the ring out to have a period, but it's a day and a half late. I have been stressed out lately (fighting with my ex-boyfriend and drinking a lot) and have also lost almost 20 lbs in the last month and a half. Could I be pregnant? or is my period late for other reasons?

It could be because of stress.
STOP DRINKING!
You could also be pregnant. No contraceptive is 100% effective.
But, most likely its because of the stress and your drinking.

How long have you been on the Nuvaring? If you're new to it, your body will take some time to get used to it.
Most women don't ovulate when they're on birth control. The horomones trick your body into THINKING you've ovulated, building up the uterine lining, and then shedding it during your "off" week. Of course, there's always a possibility, because abstinence is the only 100% foolproof method, but from the sounds of it, it sounds like its probably stress related.
If you're worried, wait a few more days, then get a PG test at a dollar store. They're just as accurate and not as expensive.

You could possibly be pregnant but the weight loss and stress could have played a part in the lateness...or maybe your just having an irregular period

there is a chance you could be pregnant but, sometimes ppl get it really early or really late it just depends on how your cycle is (regular or irregular)
