Update Date: Source: Network

Women may still get pregnant after wearing a contraceptive ring. If the contraceptive ring is not placed in the correct position and does not match the size and shape of the cervix, it may lead to the contraceptive ring moving downward or even falling off. In this case, there may be a phenomenon of getting pregnant while wearing the ring. If menstruation is delayed after wearing the ring, one should be vigilant about the possibility of pregnancy and it is best to conduct timely checks. Regular check-ups should also be conducted during the period of wearing the ring.

Will women still get pregnant after wearing a contraceptive ring? In fact, no contraceptive method can guarantee 100% safety, and accidental pregnancy may still occur in many cases. The effectiveness of any contraceptive measure cannot reach 100%. Data shows that most women in China achieve contraception by wearing a contraceptive ring. The success rate of intrauterine devices is about 85% to 90%. That is to say, 10 to 20% of women become pregnant while wearing the ring. The reasons for unexpected pregnancy after wearing the ring:

1. It is likely that the contraceptive device inside the female uterus has fallen off but she has not noticed it, leading to contraception failure.

2. If the contraceptive device is placed too low, close to the cervical os, it cannot inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg.

3. If the size of the uterine cavity does not match the size of the contraceptive device inside the uterus, or if the contraceptive device has deformed or even broken, it may lead to the failure of contraception.
