Woman question - endometriosis & nuva ring
So I know pretty much all the ladies have issues with their cycle changing. I get that. I expected it. But I am curious...
I have endometriosis...I had surgery once after I had lost a lot of weight (about 70lbs) pre-children. I knew that losing weight would mess with my hormones and with my endometriosis. I expected it. So I started using the Nuva Ring as my birth control to help with the hormone changes and keep a continual level of hormone in place.
But the last couple months have been very strange. The last time I took out the NR, I did not have my period. I went ahead and put the new one in on schedule. Then two weeks later I started a sort of period...weird bleeding. About a week ago, it was time for a new ring and now I am spotting and cramping every time I have sex or exercise...which I do at least one of those things pretty much every day...so I am spotting and cramping all the time.
Have any of you had this? Does it go away as your body finds it's new normal and hormone levels even out or is this something I will have to have surgery for again someday? I know you aren't drs and can't give me a for real answer...I'm looking for your experience. I have an appt. with my obgyn...but it isn't for over a month.

I've had the NR for 7 months...I've really liked it a lot, once I got on schedule and everything. It has been fabulous! I definately recommend it, if it works for you. I think right now my hormones are just so jacked up and I am just so frustrated and in pain. Besides all that my hormones are a mess and I'm so emotional at times I can't tell what is real and what is just estrogen screwing me over. :-P
I have used the Nuvaring for years. The first few months were a little off, but it settled down quickly. Every once in awhile, I won't have any period at all (scares the crap outta me and I usually take a prego test just to confirm I'm not). And then the next month I might start to bleed early. But overall, I love the NR and my periods are super light.
