I'm a 26 year old and I recently began using nuvaring to deal with dysmenorrhea and plan on using it continuously (new ring every three weeks) to go without a period for three months at a time. I had no problems/side effects at all during the first two weeks, but began spotting on the third week. I was concerned because I had been on orthocyclen a few years back and never had spotting in the past. I've read that this is pretty normal (esp. With low hormone methods), but the bleeding has not stopped and gotten a little heavier. It's still not quite as heavy as a period, but has changed from brown "old" blood to fresh red blood.

I'll be inserting a new ring tomorrow and i'm hoping that the bleeding will stop! Should I be concerned?? Or just wait it out for another cycle or two?

Is it normal to spot this heavily and for five days coninuously??


Thanks to anyone who can help...
