Long periods w/ Ring?
| Sat, 12-16-2006 - 8:57am |
Hey Ladies,
I started the ring last Sunday. I really have no complaints except for the mere fact that I'm still kind of bleeding. My normal period ends within 5 days. I heard that periods are usually lighter and shorter using the ring, which leaves me confused. Since I've started the ring, I've been spotting and it technically hasn't ended and today I'm going into day 8, which is very rare. Does anyone know if its just my body that's adjusting to this and will take a couple of cycles to go back to normal, or will I be expecting a 9-?? day period every month? Any feedback will be helpful. Thanks again for all your support!

Some women, when they first start the pill, do find that the first period drags on for a while because it doesn't quite "shut off" like it normally does.
