Hi cnk2006,

Yes, bleeding again so soon after stopping a birth control method can happen - you had the nuvaring in for a week, so the hormones built up, and now you're having another withdrawal bleed. I'm more concerned about whether or not you used protection when you had sex. If you didn't, then you should get the ECP, as you will not be protected against pregnancy.

No, we didn't use protection. But don't you think since i bled today that I'm probably ok?

Just because you had bleeding, in this situation, doesn't necessarily mean that you're safe from pregnancy if the timing were just right.

This something I would definitly say just call the doctor or the doctors nurse and ask them. I have used the nuvaring for 4 years now and have not had any similar experiences.
Without being graphic, there maybe something that was different in your experience with your (ex) boyfriend. Hope all works out for the best.
