A member asked:
My girlfriend started nuvaring, how long will the menopause-like symptoms last for? spotting, hot flashes, mood swings, decreased libido
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 months: These symptoms typically resolve with the first 2-3 cycles of any combination (estrogen and progesterone containing) hormonal birth control. This includes the pill and Nuvaring. If they persist she should talk to her doctor again about maybe changing formulations.
