I was on the ring for over 2yrs and during this time had to use antibiotics many times. From all of the research that I did during that time due to my own concerns of becoming, I found several studies showing that antibiotics do not effect the nuvaring in the same way as it did pill forms. Actually, many studies stated that there was no effect at all. But if you feel nervous about being pregnant just go buy a test, give yourself some piece of mind.
