What if someone has their period twice in a month while using the nuva ring?

Answer 1

Most women have withdrawal bleeding during the ring-free week on NuvaRing. Like all hormonal methods of Birth Control, NuvaRing can lighten the bleeding so much that the bleeding may be almost or completely absent. Because hormonal methods prevent the uterine lining from building up as heavily, it's possible to miss a period.

If you have used the method correctly, pregnancy is unlikely, but you can take a pregnancy test if you miss your period and have pregnancy symptoms, or if you made any mistakes with the ring in the previous weeks. If you frequently miss periods on NuvaRing and find the absence worrisome, you can change to a different method.

Yes you do, during the fourth week while it is out.

Yes. You should use the Nuva Ring according to the schedule on the calendar, three weeks in and one week out, regardless of any bleeding.
Yes, most women get withdrawal bleeding (bleeding during the ring-free break) while using NuvaRing.

Answer 2

Like any hormonal birth control method, Nuva Ring is likely to cause lighter flow and shorter periods than you had before you started on it. In the first three months, you may have irregular spotting or bleeding. It's less common on Nuva Ring than on the pill, but it can occur. After the three month "breaking in" period, you should see more regular periods and lighter flow.

Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct. If you insert a new one on Monday, you remove it on Monday after three weeks, and then insert the next one a week after, also on Monday. You follow the calendar schedule regardless of any bleeding.

Answer 4

Yes, that's perfectly normal.
