"I have been using Nuvaring continuously for 3 months and suddenly started menstruating even though I am still wearing it. Is this normal?"

It is not uncommon for some women to experience breakthrough bleeding while using Nuvaring continuously for several months. This may happen even if the ring is still in place. This breakthrough bleeding does not affect the contraceptive effectiveness of Nuvaring. It is recommended to keep the ring in place and make sure it is properly positioned. The bleeding should stop on its own within a few days. However, if it persists for more than 5-7 days, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider. Over time, Nuvaring may eventually help to suppress menstruation completely.
