Nuva Ring Question

[cmonbabyshockme.livejournal.com]

So basically in the past I was on Loestrin 24 and fencom fe, I did not have very good luck w/ the BC pill at all, due to some health issues. So I went off it completley. I decided I wanted to try something different and decided on the ring and my doc said that would be good for me considering my conditions, I understand the directions on the ring completly, but he told me b/c my hormones are all off to keep it in 3 months and then take it out get a period ext ext instead of 3 weeks, this is confusing to me.. has anyone done it this way or should I call him and tell him I just wanna do the way the directions say.

You can't keep one ring in for 3 months, but as the first commenter said, you can stack the rings so that you don't have your period for awhile. I do this because I get bad cramps and breakouts on the off week when I'm on the ring. I keep it in for 4 weeks (if you check the directions, it says if you leave the ring in for 4 weeks you are completely protected) then put a new one in without a ring free week. I can generally do that for a few months until I start spotting a little, then I take an off week to have my period.

maybe he meant keep it in for 4 weeks then take it out and instantly put a new one in and do that for 3 months and then give me a break for a week and repeat to me that makes a lot more since.
