A member asked:
I use nuva ring for 3months on 1 week off, this is my 3rd month and have light break through bleeding and lower back pain ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 weeks in 1 out: Nuvaring should be used for 3 weeks straight then removed for 7 days. If you are using Nuvaring 4 weeks straight and then replacing it that is an ok off label use. Breakthrough bleeding is more common with this type of use.
