I went off Nuvaring this Sunday, didn't insert new ring. Tired of the unpleasant discharge, the lack of sex drive, the weight gain (14 lbs in last 6 lbs with same eating habits).

I got my period as usual last Wednesday, it lasted about 3 days in earnest, but I've been spotting ever since. That makes 9 days in all. That doesn't seem right. Anyone else experienced this?

I would call doc but it's too late and will have to wait till Monday.

It will take a wee while for your body to settle down.

I agree--since you normally are providing estrogen at this time, your body will have to get things figured out so that it can start producing estrogen again.
