hi
i removed my nuva ring on the 11th March and got my period on the 15th march....it was a normal period. i didn't re insert another nuvaring for that month, and on the 13th April i got what i thought was the start of my period - brown discharge, this went on for 5 days, i inserted the nuva ring on day 5, however it is now the 27th April and i still have a brown discharge. it is a dark brown. i have had it now for 16 days....i have been on the nuva ring for around 10 months, this is the first month break that i have had. i have ALWAYS been regular, never missed a period and had a 7 day period. this has never ever happened before. i have only ever missed a period when i was pregnant with my son, and got it back when he was around 8 weeks old (still Breastfeeding at the time)
I did 4 tests and they came up negative. maybe it was too early? mind you the chances are slim as we used the withdrawal method basically. I know that you can still conceive this way. however i don't believe that i would have conceived unless i ovulated really late - which may have been the case ? Our bodies can do funny things...i don't really have any symptoms tho...but wud only be 3.5 weeks anyway, maybe even only 18 days...(working out from the times we used the withdrawal method - which was twice) ... i hope all that makes sense. sorry if it doesn't.
i have never experienced this so thought i would post and see if anyone else has?
i don't believe it is an infection as i am not itchy and it does not smell and most things i have read say if it is you will have these symptoms?
i have a dr appointment but thought in the meantime to post and see what others think?
thanks for listening
