I started the NuvaRing on Jan 28th. My Doctor told me to put it in on the second day of my cycle, so I did. 17 days later I am still bleeding! Not heavy, kind of like the muddy end of your cycle. DR said since I haven't been on BC for awhile, let my body get used to it. I haven't been on BC for many years and thought I'd give it a try. Everything else seems fine, some mood changes,no weight gain, no loss of sex drive.
