What Causes Heavy Vaginal Bleeding While On Nuvaring?
I ve been using nuvaring continuously (no ring free week... just new ring every 3 weeks) . Since November. Starting last Sunday 4/16/17 have been having extremely heavy bleeding and passing charge clots even though my ring was only in for two weeks. What is happening?

Hello,
I think you can be having a breakthrough bleeding. Continuous use of Nuvaring can have such side effects. You can take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. If it doesn't work, you may need high dose of progesterone to stop the bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Khushboo Priya
