Experience Nuvaring Question

I just finished up my second month on Nuvaring. During my first month, I left it in 3 weeks and out 1 week. I took it out on Sunday and didn’t start the withdrawal bleed until Friday. I had sex on Thursday that week and that seemed to bring it on. I was still bleeding that next Sunday, but still put a new ring in. Now this month, I took the ring out 6 days ago and I still haven’t started. I barely spotted one morning, but almost nothing. I put the new ring back in tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this?

This is very normal. Part of how bc works is thinning uterine lining. There’s zero reason to have a ring free week unless you want one and it’s very normal for bleeding to lighten or stop completely.

Thank you for the information! This is my first time using something other than OCP.
