I hope someone else can understand where I am coming from here. ...

I completely relate to your situation. I also started nuva ring about 3 weeks ago, and recently just stopped "spotting". Since the period like symptoms have ended I've noticed spot bleeding. I'm so confused because I've used this product (its been several years ago) before and loved it. This time around I'm irritable, have frequent headaches, and terrible acne... I don't know if I can bear another month of this. I was wondering if you called your doctor or nurse practioner regarding the longer lasting period?

i just started nuvaring 2 weeks ago and im still on my period as well..im glad im not the only one!! i was going to wait till the second ring to call my doctor..if i still hadnt stopped or at least got better by then..

I understand what you ladies are going through, and am glad to hear others have had a similar experience as I have. I have been on NR for about 6 month, and other than spotting the first week, no problems. I, however, recently changed my removal date, and have been bleeding with the ring in for 7 days!!!! Today I am scheleduled to remove the ring; I really hope I don't bleed more! The nurse at Planned Parenthood says this is normal with a change in your routine, but it's been freaking me out. Otherwise, I love the ring and don't want to get off of it. But heavy blood loss is not good.
