Q:

I've been on nuvaring for 7 months now. My period was supposed to start on Saturday, which it did, right on time. On Saturday and Sunday I experienced normal bleeding but now there is very little blood at all. I usually bleed until Tuesday. I took a pregnancy test but it came back negative. It's also very worth to mention that for the past 2 months I have been experiencing extreme stress from a variety of factors. I've read it's normal to have variations with low dose birth control, but I just wanted to ask. Thank you for your advice, I appreciate your service.

 

A:

This does not sound out of the ordinary to have a shorter period. If your next cycle seems unusual or you are having bleeding when you shouldn't, then you should come in to be checked.
