Leave it in : Irregular bleeding is very common when starting a new birth control method. Simply leave it in. It should regulate your cycles over the next few rounds.

Breakthrough bleedin: It is not uncommon to have breakthrough bleeding when you start. New hormonal contraceptive ... I would recommend you leave the nuvaring. Hopefully breakthrough spotting will stop after two to three cycles.

Leave it in: Contact your doctor if your bleeding doesn't stop in the next few days. If you are just starting out with nuvaring, it may take a few months for your bleeding to settle out.
