1st AF on Nuvaring!!!!

I just got AF on Sunday and it's really heavy and I have really bad cramps. I haven't been on BC for awhile and I thought the ring would make it easier not so heavy.

Also having a lot of clots coming out which I normally don't have....... Sorry TMI!

Any thoughts and will it get better over the next couple months.

I really am only on cause I tend to get ovarian cysts.

Thanks for your help!

My first AF on the ring was like that (but no cramps) but I just completed my second one and I didn't even need to go above a regular size tampon. It was super light. Hang in there.

I have heard of that happening, but have not experienced that for myself with the ring.
