A member asked:

I just started nuvaring about 2 weeks ago and for the past 4 or 5 days i've have brown discharge. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes for: the first month or two, then this irregular bleeding should subside as the uterine lining adjusts to the ring hormones. If gets heavy or painful, let your doctor know.
