I took a single dose Diflucan pill in my ring free week, three days before I was supposed to insert my nuvaring. I forgot about checking to see if Diflucan interacts with birth control, and my husband and I had unprotected sex 6 days after I took the Diflucan pill. I have been experiencing some light brown discharge and some abdominal pain, but it is not close to my period. It is too early to take a pregnancy test. I have read mixed messages about Diflucan and I dont know if I could possibly be pregnant or if I am having other issues. Thank you for your time.

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Doesn't seem like there can be any interaction between these two. The symptoms can be due to the Birth control. Some of the side effects of NuvaRing are:

Vomiting

Change in appetite

Abdominal cramps and bloating

Breast tenderness or enlargement

Irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting

Changes in menstrual cycle

Temporary infertility after treatment

Fluid retention (edema)

If the symptoms continue it might be good to let your doctor know.
