Longer period on BC NuvaringšŸ§

Constance

So my periods have been regular for the past 6 years, 5 day periods at most, but, these past few years iā€™ve been bouncing around from the Pill, to the Patch, then this year the Pill, now the Nuvaring. - all regular periods, but i started NR the day of my period (which youā€™re supposed to) and iā€™ve been bleeding for now 7 days.

Iā€™ve heard itā€™s just my body getting used to physical hormones in my open body(if you understand?) - but iā€™ve also heard Nuvaring can cause infections. I dont wanna book an appointment just yet if itā€™s not too crazy. Anyone know why?
