Birth Control :: Never Missed A Period Until This Month On Nuvaring

Feb 22, 2016

I have been a user of the nuvaring for 2 years and 2 months at this point. I have a 2 year old child already, but the Nuvaring is the only method of birth control I've ever used. Never have I had a problem with it until now. I got my last cycle January 24th, 2016. (It usually hits 3 days once taken out.) I have followed all the instructions to a 'T' and am always on time taking the ring out and putting it back in. Never once have I missed or skipped my period while on the nuvaring. Am I pregnant?

Birth Control :: NuvaRing Missed Period!

I guess I should start at the beginning. I was on Nuvaring and was always regular (even when not on BC), I stopped Nuvaring Oct of 2015 due to having bad migraines, my gyn and I wanted to see if it was the cause. Still had them, so in February of 2016 I restarted it. I had a period the last week of Jan (was getting them every 2-3 weeks due to coming off of it). I had it again the week of Feb 2. I had protected sex Feb 5th and was still lightly bleeding then. I started the ring a few days later. That month...no sign of my period the ring off week, so I took high doses of vitamin C to start it. I bled really heavy for 5 days. In March I had a very light period for 3 days. And in April, it was so light it barely showed on a panty liner, only when I wiped or peed. When I was previously on NuvaRing, I always had heavy periods and when not on BC heavy as well. I have taken 8 tests- all which are negative including one last month. I was going to test again, but I figure I'd have a positive and symptoms by now as I'd be about 14 weeks.

What could the problem be? Hormones? Or a I pregnant and not showing on tests? Should I discontinue the ring until I become regular?

Birth Control :: Missed Two Pills In One Month?

I would like some help (Because deciding whether or not I will take Plan B pill) Anyways. I have been on birth control for about almost 2 years now. I have always been good about it, but I have been stressed this month so I messed up a bit. First I missed it on the very first white pill that you start (I didn't double up, I took regularly) then I missed it this week once (the third week pills) which was a few days ago (again I didn't double up, I just took regularly after) then today I had unprotected sex. I have plan b and am contemplating on taking it in order to be safe. My questions are:

If I didn't take the Plan b, would I be okay?

If I do take the plan B, will it make me super sick? and should I take my birth control regular since I have took Plan B?

Birth Control :: Missed Many Pills This Month

Birth Control :: Nuvaring - Missed Two Periods In Two Years

I have been on Nuvaring for two years now. I follow the directions and take it out when I need to. I removed it in May of 2014 and I have missed two periods since then. I have taken 4 pregnancy tests and all of them have been negative. I am not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms, nor have I had unprotected sex since the removal. Any advice as to what is going on? I've been trying to get an appointment set up with my doctor but they won't call back

Birth Control :: Took Plan B, Got Period, Then Missed Period

Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex around July 25th, 2013 and i went to planned parenthood two days later and took plan b. I got my period about a week late in the beginning of August when I usually get it around the 28th, then in September I got it around the 14th, and I haven't gotten my period yet, could it just be late, or could there be a chance I'm pregnant. I really need some help because I'm freaking out here. And I knew I got my period because it was heavy like it usually is and I had severe cramps too, so is it normal to miss my period after taking it? Or is my period going to be late?

Birth Control :: Missed Period Twice

I've been on birth control for about a year now. I missed my period last month and I'm in my inactive week again for this month and still haven't gotten a period, only I had a little blood the other day with some cramps but not much and then it ended. should I be worried?

Birth Control :: Morning After Pill - Missed Period

so i had unprotected sex and my boyfriend came in me, however i had been on birth control for three months and never missed a pill. However i took the morning after pill the next morning to be safe. Then during my week of taking sugar pills, which was about a week after the unprotected sex when my period was supposed to come it never did. I have taken multiple tests and they all come back negative for pregnancy. is it normal to miss a period or should i get a blood test done at my doctor to check?

Birth Control :: Skipping Period On Nuvaring?

I have absolutely horrific periods, my cramps are so bad I have to curl up in bed all day and take a muscle relaxant so I can make it through them. My doctor put me on Nuvaring and it's been giving me really intense headaches and nausea. I'm not a fan of being on medication of any sort but I can't live with my periods the way they are. I was wondering if putting Nuvaring in the week of my period (a few days before it starts) and keeping it in for a week (7-9 days) would prevent me from having a period. I realize this is not the intended use for it, but I would like to try it. Would this work to prevent me getting my period if I did it every month or would it start after I removed the ring after a week of use?

Birth Control :: Tried To Skip Period With Nuvaring

I use the nuvaring, and I read that you can safely skip your period by putting your next ring in right when you take the old one out instead of waiting a week. I tried this, and it pushed back my period for about two weeks, but now I'm on day 10 of my period. I've always had problems with my period like horrible cramps, heavy bleeding, and stopping and starting, so skipping it sounded awesome but of course it made it twice as bad instead. I put my current ring in last Thursday, and I'm wondering if I should discard this one and wait until my body calms down to put the next one in and just accept the fact that my cooch hates me. any suggestions?

Birth Control :: NuvaRing While Not On Period: Effective Or Not?

I'm 15 years old, and have been prescribed NuvaRing as birth control. I have been on the ring since June 2013. My usage has been perfectly consistent, until last month when I took the ring out during sex and never put it back in. Unfortunately I didn't remember until almost a week later, when I got my period.

I would have immediately put a new ring in during my period, and used backup protection for the following seven days, per the NuvaRing pamphlet, but I couldn't get my prescription refill until today, and my period is long gone.

Obviously the only option is to restart my whole cycle with the ring, like i'm using it again for the first* time. The issue with that is my period. It is extremely irregular-- one time I didn't get my period for six whole months! (That was before I was sexually active, so I knew I wasn't pregnant).

So since my period just ended a couple weeks ago, it could be months until I get my next one and am able to put the ring in on the first day like the pamphlet says to. And that whole time, I'd be unprotected.

Would it be okay to just put the ring in now, and not expect it to be effective for a certain period of time?

Because waiting two weeks for it to be effective since I didn't put it in during my period would beat waiting possibly months until my period for it to be immediately effective.

Sorry for the long explanation.. I guess you deserve a summary. I more than likely won't get my period for a while. The ring has been out for a month or so. Can I insert a new ring while I am not on my period? Would that be at all effective?

Birth Control :: Insert Nuvaring On The First Day Of My Period?

I was just prescribed the Nuvaring. The directions indicate that I should insert it on the first day of my period. Do I have to wait until then? Or can I insert it today? I am on day 16 of my 29-day cycle.

Birth Control :: Taking Pills, Didn't Have A Period This Month

I started taking birth control pills two months ago. I completed one pack of the pills. I had a menstrual cycle last month but I didn't have one this month. Is it possible that I might be pregnant?

Birth Control :: Month Long Period After Year And A Half Of Nexplanon

I had the Nexplanon 3 year birth control implant put in February of 2013 when i was 16 years old. Up until early-mid June, I had not had any periods. Now, I have had my period on and off for almost an entire month. It is mostly spotting but enough to require the use of tampons and refrain from sexual activity. I have been pretty emotional lately and was up last night with bad cramps. Nothing in my daily schedule or eating habits has changed therefore I do not understand what could be causing this. ALSO, I have been experiencing extreme fatigue. Does anyone have ideas as to why this is occurring? I would hate to have the implant removed because this is the first time it has given me problems so far and I'm not even sure it is the cause.

*I have had the same boyfriend for 10 months so i do not think STD's would be of any relevance*

Birth Control :: Missed Pills

I forgot to take the pill tuesday and wednesday on the third week of my pack, and then took all 3 on thursday. I started spotting on thursday friday and saturday. I am not having sex so i am not at risk of getting pregnant. Should i still finish my packet till sunday and start a completely new pack? or can i just continue on and finish this packet?

Birth Control :: Unprotected Sex And Missed My Pill

So in my first week of BC I missed my 6th pill, and my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex, he did not pull out. When I remembered I took my missed pill and my pill for that day. I then missed another pill and had unprotected sex, he did not pull out. This was during my normal ovulating time, I was in the bathroom today and wiped to find brown spotting. I'm not sure if I could be pregnant or if the spotting is related to missing the pill.

Trinessa :: Missed Birth Control Pills

I am currently taking Trinessa and I missed two pills in my second week (light blue) and I caught up & took two the next day but after that I started spotting then I started my period.

Am I Pregnant? :: Missed Two Birth Control Pills

So i've missed two birth control pills due to the fact i went out of town & forgot my pills in a rush. I had unprotected sex the first night & he didn't bother to pull out the second day came & we had unprotected sex again yeah that was stupid of me but I'm also allergic to latex & non latex condoms. Could i be pregnant?

Birth Control :: Missed Taking Two Pills

I delayed taking 2 birth control pills in a row (the first delay was of 11 hours and the second of 7 hours). Worried that the efficacy was compromised, I took a morning after pill 30 hours after unprotected intercourse. I continued taking my pills normally. Now, a week after taking the ECP I had a light bleeding. I know it is common, but I thought I wouldn't have it because I am on the pills. So, can I still bleed from the ECP withdrawal even taking birth-control pills? Or is it an implantation bleeding?
