I’m on the Nuva Ring, my periods usually last 5 days tops and today makes day number 12. I was on the patch a while back and my first period lasted the entire first month. I thought that with the lower hormones in the ring that it wouldn’t have this effect. Can I expect my period to last the whole month again?

Did you just start the ring or have you been using it for a while?

I just started with the ring. I was hopping that since the ring has fewer hormones than the patch that I wouldn’t have this problem again.

I did have an almost 2-week period on the NuvaRing early on (first and only BC I've used)...I've been on it almost a year now and all my other periods have been 3 or 4 days tops and typically very light.
