4 Week Nuva Ring Regimen I'm on month 2 of the Nuva Ring. We're trying a continuous regimen, so I'm not skipping a week. The first week was just fine, maybe even better than fine. My body just doesn't like the ups and downs of BCPs, and when we think my migraine trigger is my hormones... well, you catch my drift. Plus I kept having breakthrough and we'd change pills.. same thing.. blah.
Anyway.. I didn't have a period the first month during week 4 and didn't even feel a "dip" of any sort to signal that the hormones were playing out. So I refilled and I'm at the end of month 2.. and it seems like I did get a period right around my third week even though the ring is still in place. Should I be happy? Am I acting *normal*? To answer one question... I am happy because I haven't gotten that whopper of a menstrual migraine that normally butts in as a second houseguest! Success! I'd think the ring was completely out of hormones except for the migraine thing. Apparently it's not making me go "cold turkey" here. Kinda nice. However, I do have to wonder if my body is trying to regulate itself. I'm not quite ready for a kiddo. But I guess if a miracle happens, then it's supposed to be, right? |
