My wife used the Nuva ring for awhile and let me tell you, it sucks!\n\nIt is very inconvenient during sex and will often come out.  \nAlso it wasnt very effective

I am thinking that with most things--everyone reacts differently.  Mine took probably two years, if I remember correctly.  You might have a period and no more for two--three months, then another period and no more for 6 months.  The hormonal imbalance can also vary.  Some breeze right through it and others--it can be a real problem.  (emotional ups and downs and hot flashes)  Good luck.

I wish I could help you, because I have a similar problem.  I just put on my new patch yesterday.  I am supposed to be patch free NEXT monday and begin my period NEXT week, but I started my period today! Is this normal??  Should I tell my doctor? Yeesh.

I don't know if it is normal, but the same thing happened to my friend.  She was on Depo, I'm not sure how long, at least 6 months.  She bled the entire time she was on it so she got off of it.  When she stopped she kept bleeding and it still didn't stop.  Her doctor eventually had to put her and some strange birth control with extra hormones in it just so the bleeding would stop, apparently it was the only way they could get it to stop.  The doctor said she would have just kept bleeding.  I have lost touch with her since so I'm not sure how it turned out.  That was 2 years ago and I'm sure she is okay now.   I am by no means a doctor, just sharing an experience. Stay away from Depo ladies it screws with your hormones big time.

It can, as can any hormonal birth control because they slightly change the pH of your vaginal canal. You could be having a more intense effect because the hormones are being directly released into your vaginal tissues. Some women find they are more prone to YI when on the Nuvaring, some don't. Just like some women do while on any other type of HBC, and some don't. If you've been using the Ring for more than three months and are still having this problem, you may want to consider switching to another form of birth control. Be it a pill/patch/whatever. Your doctor should be able to recommend a new one depending on what you want out of it.

The ring is pretty big, so chances are, it's not going to be wide open inside the woman. You can however, hook it and pull it out. My husband had it hanging around his penis once. Nuva Ring sucks, tell her to use the patch

During the first three to six months, you may have irregular and frequent bleeding as your body adjusts to the IUD. After that, your bleeding will most likely become lighter and less frequent. After six months of use, about half of women stop having periods, although light spotting occurs on average about three days per month. After one year of use, 20 percent of women stop having periods altogether.

I LOVE the mirena.  I had similar complications, and read a few of the published medical studies (on PubMed).  It made me feel a lot better after finding out that most women had spotting and that over 30% stopped having normal periods entirely within about a year.  That would be worrisome except for the 99.9% effectiveness. (They don't call it reversible sterilization for nothing!)

I too used to have a "normal cycle". it went from 28 days to 21 days to every 20 days and lasted for 8-10 days. I was at the gyn every two weeks. i finally started hormonal treatment (nuvaring) two months ago. 1st month was awful-bleeding everyday, 2nd month looks promising. The only possibly explanation that made sense to me was that my eggs were dropping more frequently. It is still not 100%. Go to the gyn and dont let them dismiss your concerns.

I have been on the nuva ring for over a year now, and it is so much more convenient to me.  I hated taking the pill and would have hated getting a shot but with this little gadget it makes things so much better.  And from what my boyfriend tells me it feels good during sex.  So stick with it.

I had the Mirena IUD for about 9 months before I had it removed.  Mine did not actually fit - supposedly my uterus is too shallow.  Often times I could only find one of the two strings, but I never did really "look" for them after the first week.  TRUST ME, if the IUD was out of place, you would know!!!!  Feels like you are getting stabbed (mostly because you are)...  \nI never had a period either until after the IUD was removed.  My docs told me that many women will not get a period while they have one.  The chances of you getting pregnant with an IUD are very slim.  You will be able to take a home pregnancy test with accuracy if you are unsure.  Here is the link to the Mirena.  I'm not sure if that's the same one you got, but it tells you lots of good info.  Good Luck

I'm on my second Mirena (they have to be replaced every 4-5 years), and I really like it.  The first months involved sporadic bleeding, but nothing excessive, and now I don't get periods...just spotting for 1-2 days a month.  I must admit that my skin has changed a little since I've had it though, I get blackheads and have unwanted facial hair that I didn't before, but that may be due to aging.\nHowever, I've just been diagnosed with a rather large ovarian cyst and from what I've read, the Mirena may have something to do with that (augments your chances of developing a cyst by 3).\n\nI have one friend who has one and likes it and has a story similar to mine, but from what I've heard, it is one of those 'love it or hate it' things.

OMG ... those things are still in use? I thought this birth control method was obsolete! 3 months is average if my memory serves correctly. Listen to your body; if you start feeling overly tired or are experiencing unusual cramping, go back to whoever inserted it and get it removed.\n\nIUDS have been attributed to infertility problems and uterine hemorrhage. Please consider another birth control method for your health and safety.

You do need to use another form of birth control if you want to prevent pregnancy.\n\n"Norplant should be removed after seven years — five years for overweight women — because it stops working, and it can cause menstrual irregularities. It can also be removed anytime earlier. The clinician will numb the area with a painkiller and will usually make one small cut to remove all six of the implants. Removal takes up to 30 minutes. Norplant may be more difficult to locate in some women. Removal for them may require more than one visit and/or several incisions. Pregnancy can happen anytime after the implants are removed."\n\nhttp://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/medicalinfo/birthcontrol/pub-birth-control-06.xml\n\nYou can get more information on Norplant at the sites provided.\n\nhttp://www.ivf.com//npt.html\n\n"The Contraceptive Foundation is a nonprofit foundation that has established a Norplant Removal Program aimed at helping uninsured and underinsured women gain access to removal of the Norplant system. Women considering the Contraception Foundation Norplant Removal program should call 1-800-760-9030 to determine if they meet the Contraception Foundation's eligibility criteria."\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/9/2953_525

Besides the fact that it offers constant hormonal protection, I LOVE the fact that you can remove the nuva ring for up to three hrs and still remain protected. THe Dr.s say that your mate shouldnt be able to feel anything, but they can. I do suggest eating yogurt daily and taking acidophoils supplements as a foregin object in your vagina day in and day out CAN cause yeast infections if your girl is sensitive.\n\nI didnt gain too much weight as i transitioned right from the pill to the ring. I did have heavier flowing and spotting my first few months until my body adjusted to it. But other than that its great. Plus my guy is more comfortable KNOWING by being able to feel my birth control that we are protected rather than just relying on my word that i took my pill.

It shouldn't, any more than oral contraceptives do.  It contains roughly the same ingrediants.  So usually about a month or so after you've discontuned use, you can start trying to conceive and there shouldn't be any residual effects from the Nuvaring.
