A member asked:

Pregnancy test negative. on the nuvaring continuously to skip periods - done it twice now. breakthrough bleeding for two weeks. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nuvaring: It doesn't sound like you're pregnant. If you are going to use the nuvaring continuously then do it more consistently. When you start and stop every other month you are more likely to have breakthrough bleeding.
