anybody out there on nuvaring with really light & short periods?

Hey everyone- 

 

I rarely post anything here but maybe it'll get me some good feedback...prove me right, ladies :)

 I'm on Nuvaring and have been for over a year now, all of a sudden (past 2 months) my periods are crazy short and extremely light. Last month I only bled for about 3 days and only 1 of those days was a normal flow. Then, this week I bled for maybe an hour (really light) yesterday and have since stopped. Usually by Thursday of my period week I'm having a normal or even heavy flow...

 anyone else ever have this happen??

  • Check this out with your doc. GL.
  • Yup, that sounds about like what my periods are like.  I have to use a light days pantyliner for a couple of days, and maybe tampons for a day. 

    It's a normal side effect of birth control.  Since your uterine lining isn't really building up, there isn't much to expel.

  • i basically have no periods and i love it. Before my Nuvaring my periods were hell.

  • Thanks everyone! At least now I know it's not just me :) 
  • I'm still fairly average on Nuvaring (which is much better than it was before BC), but one month not too long ago my period was only 1 day and barely anything.  I asked my doc about it and she said it was just because the lining was much thinner that much and it was nothing to worry about.
