Experience skipping period wth NuvaRing?
| Mon, 08-07-2006 - 8:25pm |
Hi,
I'm just finishing my first month on NuvaRing (today is day 24 for me, so I should take it out about now). I saw my midwife today for a checkup, and she said that I could skip periods if I wanted to by just inserting a new Ring, with no break in between (she said not to go more than three months in a row doing that though).
My question is, has anyone tried this? What was your experience - did it work out okay? Did you have any breakthrough bleeding or did it mess up your cycles at all? I'm trying to decide if I should skip this period, or take the regular Ring-free week and then insert the new one. I just don't want it to mess up my cycle or cause a bunch of prolonged breakthrough bleeding, etc.
Thanks!

My doctor is an advocate of this too, though his recommendation to me was to insert a new ring on the first of every month.
Right.
