I've been on the Nuvaring for almost 3 years now and usually have a schedule of 2 rings back to back, 1 week break, 2 rings back to back, 1 week break, etc... My breakthrough bleeds are usually light and short with not much cramping.

I took my ring out on 10/14, had a breakthrough bleed week and put a new ring in on 10/21. Then, around 11/10 when I was getting ready take out the first ring and put in the second, I started to have a lot of spotting. I decided to not put in the second ring and go through another withdrawal bleed since that's what my body seemed to want to do. This bleed has been very heavy, crampy and is lasting much longer than normal.

My body usually goes through with the 2 rings back to back without any problems... Any ideas on why it didn't want to this time? And any any ideas on why this one is heavier and crampier? I just want it to end... :(

Nothing aside from "random variation," sorry. From what I've gathered reading VP, it's not terribly uncommon to have:
  1. Folks who can stack on a schedule have an occasional wonky experience.

  2. Folks start out having no problems stacking but developing an issue with it over time.
It may be some combination of shorter-term issues (stress, fighting off illness, etc.) and/or longer-term (and more gradual) changes in body chemistry.

It's probably worth paying attention to how your body responds to the next few ring(s) cycles to see what's more likely for you.
