Inserting the Ring earlier than usual
| Tue, 05-09-2006 - 3:49pm |
Hi guys,
I took my last Nuvaring out on Thursday morning and have been having a pretty light period so far (today is day 3 - it started Sunday a.m.). I usually put the new Ring back in on Wednesdays, but I'm going on vacation with my bf on Thursday and wanted to get waxed before we go. My question is, if I insert my new Ring tonight (before my period is completely over), will it stop the bleeding entirely? I was hoping to squeeze in a waxing appointment sometime tomorrow, but have never cut it so close in terms of my period. Has anyone been successful in stopping their periods sooner with the Ring? And do you think it'd be safe to go for a wax tomorrow?
Thanks!!

Hi glitterbug27, welcome!

Usually when I insert a new ring early, it gets rid of the spotting that I normally have for a couple days after the bright red bleeding stops.
Thanks for the info, you guys! The good news is that the trip to the aesthetician today went off without a glitch... the bad news is that my period came back, just as I was SURE it was all done. I haven't needed even a pantiliner since inserting the new ring last night, but just a little while ago it surprised me. And it's still bright red, which worries me in terms of my trip! But at this point there's nothing I can do other than hope it will stop by the time we get to our destination tomorrow night. I guess that's the last time I try to trick my period into stopping before it's ready! (btw, this is only day 4 of my period, so I'm sure my body is just confused)
Oh well -- thanks for your help anyway :)
