Hi, Im an 18yr old female. I recently went to my gyno because im starting college in a month and a half and I thought getting on bc would be a good idea. I went in on the 24th of June, and she told me to try nuvaring. She told me to start that day when I got home. she told me to leave it in until the 1st of July then take it out and wait to the 5th [supposed to be a period] to put a new one in, and progress in that cycle. Well, less than two weeks into having the nuvaring, I got a really bad uti infection [on the 6th], I have had a history of utis..so i try to do the most I can to prevent them, but this was different. I felt like my bladder was going to explode!. It was so painful and it felt like it was contracting, I was spotting blood and I felt like I was going to pee my pants all the time.. . and horrible burning sensations. I put the ring back in on the 5th, and that day I spotted blood a little heavier and clumpy but not a period. I took it out on the 9th because I did not feel like the infection was getting any better...the ring has been out for 3 days now and I feel so much better bladder infection wise, but I have been having horrible headaches, and nausea. Any ideas? The only problem is that I have no idea what is gonna go on with my period. Before the ring, I would usually start anywhere between the 10-14..and I have not had unprotected sex. Anyone have any ideas on the whereabouts of my period?.
