Nuvaring Continuously - Brownish Spotting That Got Progressively Heavier
Oct 24, 2015
I'm 23 years old and started Nuvaring on August 25th. After talking about it with my OBGYN I've decided to start using it continuously (changing it every 3 weeks) and it was perfectly fine at first, but before the first month was over I noticed a bit of brownish spotting that got progressively heavier until it became actual red blood. I have light flow days and heavier flow days but it's never really a lot. It's really annoying though!
The spotting has been going on for FIVE weeks now, I've spoken to my doctor but the tranexamic acid he prescribed didn't help at all so he took me off it, and on top of it all I've been experiencing horrible cramps at night for two nights now.
My doctor says it's ok, it's only been two months, it's just my body getting used to it and if it's not gone by the end of November we need to talk about other BC options because this may mean the hormone levels I can reach with just Nuvaring aren't high enough for me, but he told me it's probably not the case because I'm very petite and I just have to be patient.

I've been experiencing some symptoms of what might be pregnancy since the last time I had unprotected sex: fatigue (for the past couple of days I've slept for most of the day), nausea, weakness, forgetfulness, night sweats/hot flashes, mild cramping/discomfort in my abdominal area, moodiness, and sensitivity to smell.
But I had what I thought was my period last week. It came almost a week earlier than it was supposed to, and it wasn't like my normal period. It was lighter, but heavier than just spotting.
When I bled last week I figured it meant that I hadn't gotten pregnant. But then I read about breakthrough bleeding in pregnancy and I'm wondering if what I thought were unrelated events before are all from changes in hormones.
I'm thinking about taking a home pregnancy test. But if I were pregnant and I had breakthrough bleeding, if my hormones weren't high enough last week to stop my menstruation, would they be high enough to test positive now? Should I wait for a missed period?

Don't judge, & if you are keep your fingers to yourself.
I got my first depo shot on January 11th 2013!
I had unprotected sex On February 1st..I'm 19 btw.
Then on February 27th I had some red spotting the next day dark brown and ever since I've been bleeding/spotting non stop red and dark brown sometimes tan...but when it's brown and its during the day and I don't need to pee at that time so when it sits there where the dik goes in (pardon me) it burns that's happened only a few times && today is May 11th 2013 and I'm still bleeding/ spotting...I'm so confused...but this depo shot is WACK. I don't recommend it to anyone!! And I was supposed to get my shot on April 4th..but hell no that did not happen.

I'm a 1st time depot user. I took my first shot October 28, the 3rd day of my cycle. My boyfriend & I had unprotected sex November 18th & he came in me a little. Its getting closer to the time I usually have my cycle & I've been seeing like brownish spotting .. But no blood. Could I be pregnant? Am I pregnant?

I have been using Nuvaring for a little over 3 years in the 4 weeks in 1 week out method. I always take it out on a Friday, get my period Monday night or Tuesday morning and it is tapering off by friday.
However last weekend I forgot to take out the ring on Friday & didn't take it out until Sunday. I know the ring isn't approved for more than 4 weeks of use but my period did come exactly 2 days later than usual on Thursday. I put a new ring in on Friday anyway and my period stopped by Saturday morning. But this morning I woke up to more bleeding. I have only ever had breakthrough bleeding when I tried to skip the withdrawal week & just insert a new ring. This breakthrough bleeding lasted about a week until I just took the ring out 1 week early (3 weeks in) & had a regular period. So basically I bled off and on for 2 weeks or so. It was really annoying. It's a different kind of blood, a darker brown color (as it was the only other time I had breakthrough bleeding). My partner is uncomfortable having sex on my period (old school I know but I find it a little less romantic having to take out a tampon mid way through foreplay & put a towel down beneath you too!). So, that just kind of makes this even more of a pain for me. I really don't want to have breakthrough bleeding for this whole month, but since last time I experienced it it stayed until my withdrawal week I just get the feeling that's what will happen. Should I just take the ring out for another week &a use a backup form of birth control?

I've been on nuvaring for awhile now and i decided to get off if it because i've gained a lot of weight.. Anyways, i got off of it on the 21 day when I'm suppose to take it out and never put it back in a week later because that's the right way to get off if it.. so my question is i got my period that same week i was suppose to get it and now a week and a half later I'm starting to spot can it be that my hormones are all messed up from coming off nuvaring birthcontrol?

I've been spotting while on NuvaRing which is odd for me because I've been using this for years with no problems. I went to the doctor in the middle of November to renew my prescription. They gave me a pregnancy test which came out negative. I had sex once in October and haven't since then.
In December my period came on a Wednesday and I forgot to get a new ring to put in to skip my period. I put in the ring the same day my period started, Wednesday, but I'm supposed to put in a new one Sundays. Anywho had a regular period but last week I had slight cramping for a day and some spotting. This week the same thing. The spotting is only lasting one day. What the heck is going on? Just old blood?

I was told on September 1st of this year I have a kidney stone. (Started at 6.4mm and went up to 7mm) since being diagnosed, I've suffered regularly with cramping sensations in my lower abdomen and have been feeling sick almost daily, to the point where I easily throw up and usually can't eat much. I've lost around 2st in the last 3 months because of it. I had lithotripsy yesterday to break it down and when I woke up this morning, I was constantly feeling sick from the time my eyes opened until I was loaded up with morphine, the pain was absurd as well. I couldn't sit but when I stood up, I wanted to throw up, which happened a lot today on an empty stomach. I ended up in emergency and was sent home a few hours later with oxycodene. The first two times I went to emerg after being diagnosed was owing to a painful cramping sensation in my lower abdomen and ongoing sickness. I was told twice 'it could be a bladder infection' and was given anti biotics both times. Turns out I didn't have an infection but they never look any further and just blame my symptoms on the stone. Both times my stone was in the exact same place (very top in my kidney), my stone was diagnosed as non obstructive. Since September I've been passing blood almost daily, am mostly sick and experience cramping feelings weekly if not daily. I've been to the doctors and emerg so many times and they just said it was the stone without any investigation.. Has anyone else experienced any of this? If my symptoms persist after the stone fragments have passed, they said they will investigate further.

Last month, I had a very light period that only lasted two days. After that, I had bad cramps in my hips and pelvic area. They lasted for about two weeks or so. Yesterday, I finally got my period. But when I woke up today, I had leaked, and bled through my underwear and pants. This isn't really normal for me, I've never had a leak before. I'm guessing that my period is a lot heavier than it usually is.
I'm 14, and I know that my period isn't supposed to regulate for about 2 or 3 years, but is this something I should be concerned about? I could just be working myself up over nothing, but anything that isn't normal terrifies me.

I menstruated on the 30th of April 2015 and following my ovulation I had sex with my husband from the 10th to the 15th of May 2015. Today the 25th of May I had a very mile pain with no cramping and discovered after using a tissue to clean up my virginal that I have light brownish blood discharge which is not really flowing as such. This was about 2hrs ago but have not patted myself because it is not flowing as yet. Can this be an implantation sign?

I had sex on April 16th(pulled out twice possible precum) and the 17th(cam inside) I was ovulating the 19th and I just had sex again the 23rd(pulled out) but yesterday the 25th I bled a bit. Could this be implantation bleeding? It was darker and came out at once then I just had a brownish discharge. This occurred 9 days after he came in me. My next period is supposed to start in 8 days. Should I take a pregnancy test or is it to soon? How soon can I take a test? I don't want to get a false negative or false positive.

I'm here because my spotting-bleeding-spotting is confusing me. I have a regular 28 day cycle, on TTC but stopped with all the procedure couple of months ago, still tracking my fertile period.
Then this spotting started on the first day of my ovulation May 29, exactly 14 days after my 1st day period may 15. from spotting it went to slight bleeding (I thought it would stop, enough to fill a panty liner). I
t is already June 10 as I'm writing this and still spotting a little though(still have those brown discharges).
I'm expecting my period tomorrow. I wish and hope its implantation or breakthrough bleeding but I am more "worried".
AM I OK?
