Any thoughts? Guest over a year ago I was on Nuvaring and had issues. I stopped using it 6 months ago. Last month my period arrived a week early. Then two weeks later I'm on it again. It's been a week since it started exactly and it's still very heavy. Anyone else have nuvaring issues? Or periods so close to each other? Or this heavy super plus tampons every 4 hours for a week straight?
Guest over a year ago Hi, I am replying to the nuvaring post. I was VERY regular before getting on birth controll. I tried pills for a year, then the patch for a year and then the nuvaring for over six months and now I'm off birth controll.
My periods are irregular late. I think it is just a normal thing that happens from getting off birth control. Guest over a year ago I too am having problems with regularity after coming off of the patch. I was on the pill and then the patch for 7 years total.
For the last 5 months I have had periods between every days which are extremely light and short. I am on day 32 now, waiting. I will see a doctor in August to make sure all is well! Guest over a year ago my period was irregular before i was on the pill and then the ring.
Guest over a year ago To my understanding, it's normal to be very irregular for a while when you go off birth control. In my case I went immediately back to my normal cycle of 31 days for 2 months, but now it's been shortening methodically by 3 days each month, from 31 to 29 to 26 to 23! Has anyone else had this problem of a shortening cycle? This time I noticed I would bleed during intercourse, but never bled out.
Figuring it was my period just being a few days early I put a tampon in and I had very light bleeding for a couple hours. After that I never bled again until sex. I've been pretty bloated for the past couple days and I usually have cramps, but this time no cramps. Kind of confused Guest over a year ago I was on the pill for 5years.

Pills, IUD, and More. How Late Can a Period Be?
Medically reviewed by Fernando Mariz, MD. If a combination birth control pill is started for the first time on the Sunday after your period begins, your period should occur about 25 days later.
Ask your healthcare provider which day is the best to start your specific pill pack. If your period begins on a Sunday, you can start the pill pack on that Sunday. Another option is to remove the lining of the womb. Here the tissue is removed using surgical instruments or destroyed, for instance using laser beams or microwave energy. After the procedure, the woman often stops having periods, or her periods are much lighter.
This makes pregnancy unlikely. But the lining of the womb can grow back. If heavy periods start again as a result, the procedure can be repeated. About 20 out of women have this kind of surgery again within two years. Endometrial ablation or resection can sometimes be performed as outpatient surgery. Women recover relatively quickly afterwards. Maybe you used to get a heavy flow during your periods, but now theyre lighter.
Or maybe some periods are lighter and others are a little heavier. This is pretty normal, Zhang says. The time between each cycle can also vary: Maybe one month its 28 days, then the next its 30 days. Your PMS symptoms can vary each cycle, too, depending on hormone fluctuations, Zhang says. Its not uncommon for your period to become shorter as you get older, too. In adolescence, periods tend to be longer and a little heavier, then ease up after a few years. Menstruation changes in the years before menopause and can be more irregular after pregnancy.
Breakthrough bleeding is a common concern among women using hormonal birth control. Its usually a small amount of spotting at a time when youre not expecting your period, though some women have heavier bleeding. Most often, my patients come in saying they feel fine, but are noticing a little spotting when they use the bathroom. Should they be worried? I reassure them that breakthrough bleeding rarely signals a health problem. And it doesnt mean your birth control isnt effective at preventing pregnancy.
But there are ways we can try to fix it. A menstrual period that lasts longer than seven days is considered a long period. Your doctor may refer to a period that lasts longer than a week as menorrhagia. You may also be diagnosed with menorrhagia if you experience unusually heavy bleeding that lasts less than a week. Five percent of women have menorrhagia. But the truth is that having your period on birth control is not the same thing as natural menstruation.
Once you stop using birth control, then your periods should go back to normal, and your chances of getting pregnant will return to normal. There are various treatment options available for women who have very heavy periods, including medication, hormonal contraceptives and surgery.
Knowing about the advantages and disadvantages of each can help make it easier to choose an appropriate treatment. If very heavy periods become too much of a problem, treatment can help you to cope better.
