Im almost 25 and healthy for the most part. Just mild issues with anemia. I was on NuvaRing for a year. I was super regular on it, i have extremely bad periods and my gyno told me to go ahead and leave my ring in for a full cycle and replace it with a new ring, skipping my period. About every 3 months I would go ahead and wait and allow my body to have a period. But in January I was at the point of when I would ovulate and started bleeding heavily right after having sex, with my ring in. This would have been two weeks before I'd need to change or remove my ring. I went to the er alarmed by the abnormal bleeding. Then the pain started, horrible abdominal pain. They ran several tests, I had blood in my stool and urine (straight cath). The er Doctor said he saw lesions on my cervix. Later that week, I saw my gyno and she performed another pap, she said the lesions were just cervical cysts and nothing to worry about. She had no answers for the rest. All of this was just 3 months after I'd had my yearly pap. She told me to stay off of any BC and allow my body to re-regulate. Months later my period is still extremely varied in how long my cycle is, how long or heavy my period is, and how painful it is. The abdominal pain continued well into April and suddenly just went away. I never received any answers for what happened and my gyno hasn't returned any calls for a return appointment. I'm looking for a new one, but has anyone experienced something similar. I'm hoping to start ttc #1 this time next year, and now I'm nervous there may be complications.
