I just wanted to see how you were doing.
Did you talk to your doctor about your
bleediing. Not to freak you out or
anything but it sounds like what happened
when I miscarried. It could be just a
really heavy period though. I hope you
are ok.

I didn't talk to my doc... I was just
waiting to see if the bleeding would
subside... I started my period 2 days ago
and the clots are still coming out
frequently.... My mom is a ob nurse and I
asked her what she thought and she thought
that maybe is was from discontinuing the
nuva ring... I was on the nuva ring for
about a year when I took it out... I had
a light period the day after I removed it
(feb 2) so she thought that maybe that
heavy bleeding and clotting is from not
having ovulated in so long.. What do you
think?

I got off of nuvaring in january and my
first regular period was heavier than
normal and did have some clots in it. It
wasn't nearly as heavy as yours though.
It could just be a side effect. Everyone
reacts differently. If your mom is a
nurse, i'm sure she knows what she is
talking about.

Everything is ok now I think. The
bleeding has lessened a bit and the clots
have slowed down. But i'm nervous.....
My husband and I have never tried for a
baby before and I have always been on
birth control (since I was only 16 b/c of
pcos and insulin resistance) but my doc
said it's ok to try for a baby now b/c the
pcos and the insulin resistance are
reversing themselves. The doc said I
would be ok to ttc as long as I watched my
starches (i started atkins to do this) and
to keep taking my metformin ( I take 1,000
mg a day). But i'm still nervous b/c I
see so many ladies an here that have been
ttc for so long... I'm just wondering....
I'm only 20, does age have any effect on
ttc? How old are the ladies who are
having so much trouble?

I think most of the ages vary. I know
when you have pcos it can be more
difficult but I have heard of many getting
pregnant with the help of metformin.
Pregnancy doesn't always happen right
away. It usually takes a couple of
months. The timing has to be just right.
Age doesn't start affecting fertility
until mid to late 30s. I am 31. We had
trouble getting pregnant with our first
when I was 27 but that was due to side
effects from the birth contol I was on.
This time around I am hoping it will be
better. I am glad to hear that your
bleeding has slowed down.

Megum's1211, I wiil remaain positive for
you. How far along are you, I forgot,
which is not unusual or are you ttc.
I dddo not feel that age has a lot to do
with it. I haave seen young and old sail
right thru pregnancy, no problem in
getting pregnant while others try and try
stressing themselves out over getting
pregnant. I know when I quit trying
things started happening.
The best to you!

Sandyallen: I just started ttc. I
discontinued the nuva ring feb 2. And I
am having my first "real" period since
stopping the birth control. I know that
sounds kinda odd..... Since i'm asking
so many questions about difficulties of
ttc... But I guess you could say that
i'm just trying not to get my hopes up and
i'm getting as much info as I can about
infertility so if I dont conceive soon,
i'll know what things to be concerned
about... I'm supposed to ovulate on the
15th of this month, but i've heard alot on
here about not ovualting right away after
being on the pill... My mom is a ob
nurse and she seems to think that my
cycles will be ok since I bled for a few
days when I took the ring out, and exactly
28 days later, I started a "real" period
with cramps, and clotting... The whole 9
yards.... She said that "yes you can
have a 'period' without ovulating, but the
bleeding is less harsh and it is usually
very short and rather light." so she seems
to think that b/c i'm having such a heavy
period right now, then my estrogen and
progestrone levels are seemingly normal
and that I should ovulate as
scheduled..... What do you all think?

I just hoe the best for you, I do
apologize as I thought you were already
pregnant, will baby dust to you, I do hope
you are pregnant soon if not already. I
had hope for this nuva ring but it is at
least putting your periods back in shape,
I too am an .R.N. I pretty much now work
in .E.R. But have workef prety moch all
over plus I work in social services.
Thank you ffor explaining, now I
understand more, I too had a rough time at
1st getting prednant, so I know how you
feel, it will happen, it will happen,
remember, you are just starting to try.
Good luck to you and yours!

It sounds like your body is getting itself
back to normal fairly quickly. You are
lucky. It must be nice to have a mother
who is a nurse. She will be able to
answer a lot of your questions. Keep us
posted.
