Subject: Nuvaring side effects
Hello.
Although a woman has posted a question quite similar to mine, I haven't found an answer to it.
I'm presently using Nuvaring..I'm in my 2nd week.It was fine the first week of use; I didn't get nausious like I have on the pill. After my period was over, the bleeding stopped for 4 days.Then I started bleeding again! I havent stopped, and it's been five days now...After my period ended! This happened to me with both Orthcyclen and Nordette.I feel really sick and tired as well, but my main concern is the breakthrough bleeding.It isn't just spotting, it's as heavy as a period. Could it be that low dose hormones just don't work with my body?
Thank you for your advice
Sincerely,
C
