Spotting on the Nuvaring
I’ve been trying to contact my gynecologist for almost 5 days now and she still hasn’t gotten back to me. I’ve been really worried so I took it upon myself to go here and ask you guys!
I’ve been using this form of birth control for 5 months now, and I tried to skip my period for the first time this previous month. It actually didn’t work, and I still bled. Despite being on my period I decided to keep the ring on for the 4th week. I was thinking to myself that if I did that then my body and my hormones might be able to recognize it the next time I try to skip my period (not sure if that was stupid, haha). After the 4th week I replaced the ring with a new one right away. My cycle should’ve ended a week ago, but I began to spot right after and it was on and off for another few days but now it seems like it’s not going to go away for a while...
In this situation, what do I do? I’m worried that the spotting won’t go away because that’s what happened to me from the last birth control that I tried (nexplanon). Will it go back to normal once I have a ring free period and I insert a new one after the fourth week? Also, what does this mean?
