Q: long periods on Nuvaring
asked by: babygurl0_2000 on June 14th, 2008

I got on the nuvaring on June 3rd. I was on my period at the time of insertion. I noticed I was bleeding for 8 days on the 11th which is very irregular for me... So I took the nuvaring out for good cuz this side effect is what happens to me on every birth control I seem to take. Its not been 11 days that I have been bleeding non-stop!

What do I do?

I'd talk to your doctor about it. From the sounds of it your body does not react well to this type of hormonal birth control and I imagine this is going right along with that. I know ever since I've been on the ring my period starts about 3 days after I take it out and lasts about 4 days. That's after I take it out, though, so I don't know how to gauge your situation since you were already bleeding. So conclusion: go see a doctor.

nuvaring - long pds
when starting a new BC, it may cause you to have a long period / different type of period for 1-3 months and then your body should adjust. The problem of why you are still bleeding is because when you take birth control for a week and then all of a sudden stop, you will get your perios pretty soon after that. So, you are probably having 2 periods one directly after the other due to you taking the ring out. I had the same problem, i was on nuvaring and my period lasted ten days. my doctor said it takes tiem to adjust. give it a chance.
