My girlfriend has been on the nuvaring since September 2007. She put in the current ring on April 2. We had unprotected sex that weekend (April 5-6) because her period just ended and she was on the nuvaring. (Thinking that she isnt fertile at the moment, combined with the birth control) Last week (about 8 to 10 days ago) she was diagnosed with some type of staph infection, and put on Cephalexin (she told the Doctor she was taking Nuvaring) So she started taking the medication about 12 days after unprotected sex, and a little over 2 weeks after inserting the Nuvaring.
She started bleeding on Sunday (April 20), and it was enough to warrant using a tampon. But by Monday, it had stopped. The ring was not supposed to come out until April 23 or 24. She still has it in and is not taking it out until it is supposed to come out this week.
is there any reason she should get her period/bleeding BEFORE taking the ring out? Can the medication cause this bleeding? She is also under a lot of stress with the end of the semester coming up. She said its like a normal period, not any lighter or heavier than normal.
