Q: Early Bleeding- Nuvaring

asked by: gobucks on August 19th, 2006

I started the nuvaring for the first time 3 weeks ago, and 2 or 3 days before I was scheduled to take the ring out (for the ring free week) my period started. This is the first time i've ever used any type of birth control... Is this early bleeding normal? I removed the ring yesterday, as scheduled, and am planning on starting it again next week. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

I Have Almost the Exact Scenario...

except mine is 17 days after my last period...the 2nd week I've had the ring in. It's essentially the same amount of blood as a normal period. I'm supposed to have the ring in another full week before I take it out...will I have another period in a week? Will this continue to happen, or is it because I'm a first time BC user?
