A member asked:

Im on nuva ring, have been for 3 months i have brownish spotting, motion sickness, cramping and exhaustion (2 kids under 2 also)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nuva ring: The Nuva ring has progesterone in it, which can interfere with ovulation and your periods. This may cause the "brownish spotting", but since a Nuva ring is not "perfect" birth control, obtain a serum HCG test for pregnancy to be certain.
