On Nuva Ring, Have Cramping, Lower Back Pain, Dark Brown Discharge, Soreness On The Sides Of Breasts. Normal?
Ive been on the nuvarig for 3 months now. last month i accidentally put it in a week late after a very normal period. I have had unprotected sex since then while on the ring. this is supposed too be my period week and i have some cramping, low back pain , dark brown discharge (no smell), some pinkish discharge in the begining, soreness on the sides of my breats. I just wanted to know if this is normal while on the ring? I know sometimes your period cycles and i have a fair amount of signs that usually indicate im menstrating however the odd discharge and breast tenderness are confusing

Hi there,
Thank you for posting your question. I will do my best to help you
As per information provided in the query,
NuvaRing is a contraceptive device which is inserted deep into the vagina and worn for three weeks and is to be remove NuvaRing for one week — allowing menstruation to occur — then insert a new ring.
There might be cramping ,low back pain as a part of Menstruation in many women (which is not abnormal),If the pain is severe, One can use anti-spasmodics-Tab meftal spas twice a day for the period days.
As of Unprotected intercourse in absence of Nuva ring, it depends on the day of your cycle.
Usually ,ovulation occurs on 14th day of the cycle and menstruation on 28th-30th day of cycle ( one is likely to conceive if Intercourse happens during 12 to 14 days of the menstrual cycle).
First day of the cycle is to be calculated from the day 1 on your period (day 1 will be day one of the cycle).
If you happen to have unprotected intercourse,kindly check with your gynecologist for further advice.
I hope that I have answered your questions fully and been of some help.
