Hi, I'm 20 years old and recently had a baby. I waited about a month and a half before starting birth control again. I chose the NuvaRing because I had heard such great things from my friends and family. I have been on it for five months now with no problems. All of my periods had come and gone like normal. Just like my doctor said they would. But all of a sudden I'm over a month late?
I'm period symptoms like the cramps, bloating, fatigue and whatnot, but there is no blood. No spotting. I have a light brown discharge that happens quite frequently lately and stains my underwear, it also carries a bad odor with it.
I have taken a few HPTs and gone and got a test done at the health center as well. All came out negative. So I'm absolutely positive I'm not pregnant.
I've asked around but no one has been able to tell me what's wrong with me.
Could it be a long term side effect of the NuvaRing? Or could there be another cause that I should be worried about?
Please, any answers would be helpful.
