Lack of Ovulation after Using the NuvaRing
Posted: 02-06-06 04:30am

I am 31 years old and want to have a second child. When I tried to get pregnant with my first child, it took over a year before I got a period after using birth control pills. I had to use medications several times to have a period before I had one on my own. I stopped using NuvaRing about 3 weeks ago. I am just wondering how long I should wait for a period to start before I consult my doctor.

One of the side effects of all hormonal contraceptives is temporary lack of ovulation and menstruation after coming off the pills. The duration of non-ovulation is different for each woman, but it usually lasts 2-3 months. Data about the NuvaRing reports that ovulation is established faster than in other hormonal contraceptives. So you can wait 2-3 months before consulting a doctor.
