Question

How long after you insert the nuvaring in do your period symptoms go away?
I went to my gyno last wed. i was suppose to get my period this mon. My gyno said i can use it starting whenever i wanted so i inserted it on thursday. Before i inserted it i was getting cramps. Its not been in for 3 days and i still have period symptoms. Am i going to get my period even if i still have cramps and using the nuvaring?
I know the hormons will affect my body

Answer 1

I have had the Nuvaring for about 6 months. It will not prevent your period, just regulate it and prevent you from getting pregnant. My doctor told me to take it out every month from the 25th-last day of the month so you always remember and don't have to count weeks. So I do that, and consistently have my period from about the 27th-30th of every month. You should insert a new one after 5 days of not wearing it even if you are still bleeding.
Your doctor should have told you to start it after your period, or on the 1st of the month. Try to keep it simple-like my gyno suggested. You will still have your period although it may be a little lighter or later this month because of inserting the ring.

Hope that helps - IM me if you have other questions, I'd be happy to help!

Answer 2

If you put the ring on Thursday, and you were supposed to get your period on Monday, you will most probably not get it, but it's very likely that you'll spot that week. You will get a period when you complete the 3 weeks and take it out for a week.
I know this will not make you happy, but the side effects of all types of hormonal birth control resemble PMS, so you might be moody, swollen, have cramps and tender breasts for 1-6 months (in most cases they go away within the first 2 months).
Expect feeling somewhat crabby for a month or 2, but do not hesitate to call your doctor if something seems weird.

Answer 3

It can take a few weeks for it to regulate your cycle
