I'm new to this site.
Here's my story. Last month I started the NuvaRing on day 6 of my cycle. After less than 24 hrs, i knew this wasn't right for me so I removed it. 3 days later, I started bleeding (mind you it had only been 10 days since my normal period started so I had just stopped bleeding just days prior to starting back up). Called my dr and was told by the nurse that this is normal since I introduced the hormones to my body and quickly removed. I couldn't understand how my body could be that affected after less than a day of using the ring. My bleeding lasted for about 3 days (normally it's around 4 days of bleeding during my cycle). Now it's around the time for my normal cycle to start (prior to the starting/stopping of the ring) and I feel a bit crampy, a bit emotional however no period. I'm wondering if I should expect my period now or if I should be counting from the first day of bleeding after removing the ring. Is it possible that I could be pregnant? Should I test now or wait until the time my period would come if I count from the first day of bleeding after removing the ring. I read online about breakthrough bleeding and was wondering if that was what happened after I removed the ring or if that was in fact a true period. If anyone has any thoughts, please respond. The nurse at my dr's office didn't seem to have too many answers when I first called.

Well, I would say that you gave your body a jolt of hormones and you should consider your bleeding after you removed it to be
