Early period???

Hola!! I am on NuvaRing as a continuous bc. Meaning I "skip" my periods. I am currently on day 17 and I started spotting last night and it is a little heavier today. I was on ammoxicillan for 12 days and had sex once during that time with no backup. I am getting cramps, but nothing like my normal period( I have endometriosis). Any ideas as to what is up?? Implantation bleeding or is my period just early?? TIA, Heather

I don't really know, and I'm not too familiar with the Nuvaring. It could be a number of things. Antibiotics lessen the effectiveness of the pill I know, I would think it was the same same with Nuvaring so it could be that caused you to start AF. It could be breakthrough spotting which happens with some women on b/c-like me. Or it could be pregnancy. How long have you been using Nuvaring as continuous b/c?

I have been on the ring for 13 weeks straight. I asked my doc and he said the ring is affected by the ammoxy just as pills are. Thanks, Heather
