Birth Control :: How Long Did Your Side Effects Last While On Nuvaring?

Jul 23, 2014

I started the Nuvaring July 11, which was the first day of my period. I did notice that my period was lighter than usual. I couldn't really tell when my period ended because I've had a mostly brown discharge that followed my period. (TMI I know sorry) It's now the 23rd and I was really wondering for how long does this brown discharge usually last? Other than the discharge I haven't had any other side effects. Did anyone else develop other side effects after having discharge?

Birth Control :: How Long Can Nuvaring Be Left Out?

I have been getting mixed answers on the internet about this. Yes, the website says as long as it has been no longer than 3 hours you are protected against pregnancy. But I have read 2 different situations that says about the 3 hours thing.

1. That it can be left out for 3 hours a day

2. It can be left out for 3 hours total for each ring.

I am just looking to clear this up. I don't want to be worried if I take it out for foreplay or intercourse.

Birth Control : Nuvaring - Uncomfortable And Getting Removed

I tried out the nuvaring AMD I want to say I kept it in for about a week. I started the day after my period completely stopped. Before I had started this birth control I showed signs of a bacterial infection (washed my clothes in scented detergent by accident)... At this time I started my period which was at the end of the month. The last day of my period was on the first of last month which was march. I started my birth control I'll say on the 2nd, I kept it I'm for about a week or a week and a half if not 2 weeks. I decided to remove it because I was uncomfortable with the feeling.... After suddenly stopping, now today April 6th I have not seen my period. What are the possibilities of me being pregnant or could this been the after effects of the nuvaring for stopping suddenly..

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 :: NuvaRing Interaction With Amoxicillin?

I have been on the NuvaRing for about a year now and it is awesome. Thing is, I had issues from wisdom teeth and was put on Amoxicillin halfway through my cycle. Hubby and I did not have sex after I was put on the antibiotics, but I was wondering if there is anything to worry about for the week before I started taking it? Any chance it will mess up my cycle? I should start my period in a day or two and I usually feel cramps starting by now. Did the amoxicillin delay my period?

Birth Control :: Nuvaring Twisting - How To Insert It?

So I just had a baby 7 weeks ago and I was given the Nuvaring for birth control. I cannot seem to get it in far enough. When I do get it back there it immediately twists and comes down back to the opening. Is this normal? I am following the diagrams of how to insert it. I feel like my body is pushing it out, if that makes sense. Should I just switch to an IUD? Just wanting to know if I can't get it in properly if it's worth using.

Birth Control :: NuvaRing Slipping Out Or To The Opening

I would first like to point out i am not sexually nor do i plan to be!

I have recently started the NuvaRing, I put my first ring in 2 weeks ago. I honestly feel fine and don't seem to have any symptoms except some clear discharge, The only problem i seem to be experiencing is the ring slipping out or to the opening. I have read and watch tons of tutorials on how to insert the ring and im positive it's in properly i just can't seem to keep it in. I keep having to shove the ring back in whenever i urinate or sleep, I push the ring in as far as it will go and have checked with my finger that its around the cervix but its still only a half an inch to an inch away from the opening. Is this normal? What could be wrong?

Birth Control :: Put In Nuvaring Late - When To Remove?

I have been on the Nuvaring for 4 months now and was supposed to put my Nuvaring in on Tuesday but didn't until today (Wednesday). I can't find any information about when I remove this Nuvaring. Do I remove it on Tuesday in 3 weeks time or Wednesday in 3 weeks time?

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 :: Nuvaring And Yasmin At The Same Time - Ok?

Birth Control :: Nuvaring Constant Bleeding

I have always had problems with spotting on the pill, but never like this. I am on the nuvaring and have been for about a year. I have been trying to go 3 month continuously, and have always had spotting. However, last time it worked perfectly! I went through 3 rings with no spotting. I then got my period and began spotting just 3 days after my period had ending. the spotting has since turned into constant bleeding and clotting. I have contacted my doctor and they said to just go about my normal routine and see if it ends. however, it's been 1.5 months! Is my body doing this because I just can't skip cycles? And how protected am I now that I have this constant bleeding?
