I've used the nuva ring for about a year and I've been off it for about a month now. Some noticable side effects I am experiencing is having pregnancy like symptoms. Sore nipples/breast, headaches, fatigue, heartburn, nausea, sensitivity to certain odors, abdominal pain, late/missed period, and bleeding gums. I should have got my period this week but haven't yet, but occording to others experience I've read online some women are having the same side effects after stopping. It's pretty frustrating, because my husband and i wanted to start trying to have a baby and I've taken 3 pregnancy test because of the symptoms I was having, but they were all negative. But from reading others experiences of these same symptoms i feel better knowing i am not the only one who experienced these unfortunate symptoms.
I have had no physical side effects of quitting the nuva ring but my emotions are crazy!! I have felt extremely sad and anxious and confused(a lot of turmoil in my mind) The side effects are supposed to subside after 3 months of quitting any birth control...I can't wait to feel normal again.
I was three days late to put my ring in--two days later it must of come out- because I am pregnant!
After you take out Nuva Ring, you'll probably have your typical withdrawal bleeding. After that, your next period will probably arrive in 4-6 weeks, so it might be a little late, and you might have a bit of spotting that month. As ovulation returns, you might notice some ovulatory cramping and ovulatory cervical discharge, and you might notice that your periods are heavier than they were when on Nuva Ring.

If you're experiencing discomfort due to NuvaRing, it's likely due to the ring rather than the hormones. Most women can use NuvaRing without noticing its presence. But we're all built differently, and some women can feel the ring whenever it's in. Women with frequent constipation may notice that problem more than others.

Before you give up, make sure that you've inserted the ring as high in your vagina as possible. If you're still experiencing discomfort when it's in, and no discomfort during the ring-free week, talk with your health care provider about other options.

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.

Yes. Your hymen is probably already broken. This can happen from riding a bike, masturbating, riding a horse, etc. Normally doctors want your hymen to be broken in order to give you a pap and pelvic, which is what you will need before you start on the nuva ring.

Yes, you should put your ring in as scheduled regardless of bleeding. Most women reinsert the next ring while they're still bleeding. You can also insert it early -- no later than seven days after you removed the last ring.

Their website doesn't say but I'm pretty sure that you have to be 16 or older.. and nuvering also has more side effects than other birth controls.. so you might want to talk to your doctor first to see what they think would work best for you.. hope this helps!

Blood clots in menstrual flow often goes along with heavier flow. Since Nuva Ring lightens vaginal bleeding, it's possible that you're noticing this change because you quit using the ring. If it continues, or if you're having other symptoms like bloating, urinary discomfort, pelvic pain, or pain with intercourse, see your health care provider.

If you do not keep the NuvaRing in for the full three weeks, the hormone levels in your body will drop, increasing your chance of ovulation. If you ovulate, you can become pregnant. I do not recomend taking it out early unless you want to risk getting pregnant.

It's unlikely. Normally you insert it on the same day of the week, without having to insert it at the exact same time. If you're concerned, use a back up birth control method for the first 7 days of that new cycle.

Yes. Some women note that bleeding starts later in the ring-free interval than it did in the pill-free week if they were on the birth control pill. Other women note that bleeding starts a little before they remove the ring. If you're in the first three months of use, you may have more unscheduled and unexpected bleeding, and should then settle down into a pattern. If the bleeding is troublesome, occurs mostly during sex, or is accompanied by pain, discharge or fever, then contact your health care provider for advice.

The first 2 to 3 months you are on any type of birth control it is normal to have breakthrough bleeding and spotting and to have shorter and more regular periods while you are on birth control hope this helps, Good Luck and God Bless!!!

Regardless of how long you used it, when you take out the last ring, you'll probably have your usual withdrawal bleeding. Your next period is likely to arrive in 4-6 weeks, if your periods were regular before you used Nuva Ring. If you had unpredictable periods before, you're likely to return to your previous irregular habit when you stop hormonal birth control.

If you are trying to get pregnant, you should leave the NuvaRing out. There is no sensible reason to use NuvaRing on any schedule when you're trying to get pregnant. Talk with your health care provider to clear up your confusion on this issue, and on how conception happens.

You can skip your period but the wisest thing to do will be keep it in for just another week longer. You can also take it out and then replace it with another one. But most women will have slight break-through bleeding.

The below answer is entirely untrue. If you are on birth control and are using it correctly, you are less than .001% likely to become pregnant, even if sperm is inside of you. A Nuvaring can be used for up to 2-3 months after being expired, but a backup method such as condoms or spermacide are recommended. Keep in mind that when first using the Nuvaring, you must wait 1-2 weeks after putting it in before having unprotected sex. One more thing wrong with the below answer, the last line "Otherwise if you had sex and they didnt [come] then you probably aren't" is also entirely untrue. Pre-ejaculation fluid, commonly called "pre-cum" can contain large amounts of live-sperm, which can lead to pregnancy just as often as regluar "cum". But then again, if you are on birth control, those risks are reduced by up to 99.99%. Answer No matter what if you have unprotected sex, and sperm went into you then you are most likely pregnant. Otherwise if you had sex and they didnt cun then you probably aren't

You may use Norforms whil using NuvaRing, but this is not a healthy practice. You would not find a female gynecologist who uses these type of products. They are more likely to cause odor or irritation than they are likely to prevent or cure odor.

Nuva Ring has a lower rate of breakthrough bleeding than the most commonly used birth control pills, but spotting in the first three months can occur. If it goes on longer than three months, if it's driving you crazy, or if you have other symptoms like pain or unusual discharge, contact your health care provider for advice and an exam.

A woman planning pregnancy may benefit from talking with her health care provider about health steps to take before conceiving, including starting a multivitamin with folic acid, considering whether any immunizations are recommended (such as rubella or varicella), and thinking about whether genetic counseling is a good idea. These recommendations are the same for women using birth control or those who are not.

For women who had regular 28-day cycles prior to using Nuva Ring, ovulation usually resumes 2-4 weeks after stopping Nuva Ring. You may have had some ovulation bleeding four weeks after stopping Nuva Ring, and now a period. If the irregular bleeding continues, or if you have other symptoms like unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or pain with sex or urination, contact your health care provider. It makes sense to call your provider now, anyway, to talk about preconception counseling and health measures. Best wishes to you and your family for a healthy pregnancy!

If you have irregular bleeding or spotting in the first three cycles of NuvaRing, it is likely to improve before the third cycle is done. Brown discharge during the ring free week is common (instead of red) and will stop before or just after the next ring is inserted.

you have to manually go and get it...Its not too fun but it must come out
Insert a clean finger into your vagina and "hook" the ring with your finger. If you feel like you can't reach it, squat down to bring the end of the vagina closer to the entrance to hook the ring.

You are not protected if you have not completed the 3 weeks, so yes, you could get pregnant.

If you leave the last NuvaRing in for four weeks, insert the new one immediately. If you did not insert it immediately, you must use a backup method until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.
