I think I might be pregnant. I started using the NuvaRing on 5/27/19 and had sex with a condom on 6/5/19, but I couldn't find my ring afterward. I put a new one in on 6/6/19. Since yesterday, I've been feeling nauseous, have diarrhea, light cramps, and white/clear discharge. How likely is it that I'm pregnant, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I recently lost my insurance and have been bleeding for 21 days due to endometriosis. I can't afford to go to the doctor right now. Is there a medication that can temporarily stop the bleeding until I can get insurance again and explore more permanent solutions?
