Spotting while skipping periods with Birth Control is a common complaint. It is not a sign that the method is less effective.
What else can I help you with?
Why are you spotting after taking out NuvaRing?
When NuvaRing is in, it is releasing hormones in your body. When you take out NuvaRing that hormone level goes down, and you have bleeding or spotting.
Have other women experienced bleeding for months after discontinuing NuvaRing?
Sure, but Nuvaring is unlikely to be the cause. If you're having continuous spotting or bleeding, get an exam to find the cause.
Can you have irregular bleeding after using the NuvaRing for almost a year?
Yes, you can have irregular bleeding after using the NuvaRing for some time. However, if you are having bleeding, contact your health care provider to find out if an exam is in order. Irregular bleeding can be a sign of an infection or another problem.
Can inserting your NuvaRing prior to your period cause it to be missed or late?
Yes, inserting NuvaRing before your period can delay bleeding.
If you take the nuva ring out early will your cycle begin?
If you take out NuvaRing early, you may or may not have bleeding. This bleeding is withdrawal bleeding, not a menstrual period.
Do you need to use a second form of birth control when you have your period but the NuvaRing is in at this time?
You have the same protection from NuvaRing with or without bleeding. Using a second method can increase protection, but it's not required just because you're bleeding.
If you take the NuvaRing out on Tuesdays get a period on Saturday and put it back in on the following Tuesday well if a period never comes do you put the NuvaRing in or no?
Yes, you should remove or replace the NuvaRing on schedule regardless of any bleeding.
Can you reuse nuvaring?
No, you can't reuse NuvaRing. Dispose of it safely.
When can you stop nuvaring?
You can stop NuvaRing at any time, including mid-cycle. You may have a little less irregular bleeding after stopping it if you stop at the end of the three-week cycle.
Can you use NuvaRing during your period?
Yes. NuvaRing is removed one week per month. This is the week you have your period. You remove the last one, and later put in the new one, based on the schedule on the calendar. Sometimes this means you'll be inserting a new one while you're still bleeding.
Do you need to wait a full period before i put the next NuvaRing in?
You should insert the next NuvaRing on schedule, regardless of bleeding. You don't decide when to put in the next one based on how many days or how heavily you're bleeding, you just use the calendar.
What are warning signs of a miscarriage on the nuvaring?
The signs of pregnancy on NuvaRing are positive pregnancy test and missed periods. Take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant.
