I have used Nuvaring for over a year now and I've never had any problems with breakthrough bleeding. About a week or so after the surgery I started bleeding like a regular period with small clots which I NEVER have. It's been over a week and I am really freaking out. Is this normal? I'm going to the GYN tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok.

Hi there...my surgeon warned me that having any type of surgery can alter your normal menstral cycle. He didn't explain why only said that I could start early or it may be delayed. I started a week early but other than that its been normal. Probably a good idea to check with your GYN just to be safe.

Probably normal, I hadn't had my period in 1 1/2 years. (I went thru early meno)

Got it a week after my surgery. Just that one time, but it was like a totally normal period.

Normal. Surgery and weight-loss are huge interruptions to your normal cycle.

It could also be the blood thinners they give you

Saw the GYN today, she did an exam and sono and everything's fine. She said it could be from the antibiotics, the trauma of surgery, or a combination of the two. I'm so relieved!
