A member asked:
Have used the nuvaring continuously for a year now with no break through spotting or periods and now this month and last month ive had a period? why!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continuous Nuvaring: This was a normal thing when you use birth control on a continuous basis. The top layer of the endometrium may grow a little but then eventually outgrows the blood supply and sloughs off. This is why we recommend you have a break once a year and have a period. Not to worry unless you get lots of bleeding.
