A member asked:
Im on nuvaring for almost a year.this month, on the 3rd week i had a breakthrough bleeding.now, im on the week off and no sign of period.is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very normal on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the Nuvaring is not working.
