Took Plan B Started Nuvaring Prolonged Period

I took a plan b one step, then started what I thought was my period a week later (one week early, which I figured was normal). On day 2 of bleeding, I inserted a nuvaring. I had used nuvaring a couple of months prior, but had skipped a month, then inserted a new one. Well, it is now 13 days of straight bleeding. Sometimes light, sometimes heavier period bleeding. I am more annoyed than alarmed. I live in a rural area and have to drive an hour to see a DrDr. I figure it will stop eventually, but I am getting impatient and wondering if I should take the nuvaring outout and use condoms or if this will just prolong it. Anyone had a similar reaction to Plan B +nuvaring? If so, how long did it last?! I would love to be intimate with my man but we're a bit new for *that* kind of intimacy.

Hello, Hope! How are you?

They are both hormonal based contraceptives, so this can happen, especially when you double up like that. You've likely thrown off your hormonal balance and it will take a few weeks for things to settle back down and return to normal.

Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain and PMS-like symptoms.

Have you consulted your doctor?
