Q: Endometriosis NuvaRing and bleeding

asked by: DoctorQuestion on December 23rd, 2007

none really I am just trying to find out why I am still having my cycle for 15 days when I usually only last 5. The blood is like that of the end of my cycle but is still there and when I have sex it is uncomfortable so I am not sure if it's because of this Nuvaring that I just started 15 days ago to regulate my cycle and reduce my cramping or if there is something else going on. I have been tested for all other Stds so I know that's not what it could be.....I am just worried. I don't know if this pain is from the endo, or if it's cause I have' been sexually active for sometime but what it could be but I need to know if I could get off this because I dont want to be in pain and bleed all the time just to regulate my cycle. Thanks so much for your time..

You sound like you're spotting. If you just started Nuvaring then this is completely normal. I can't believe your gynecologist didn't tell you that spotting is a normal side effect.
