Do I have to remove my Nuvaring if I have spotting before the date I have to remove it (November 28)? Should I leave it in anyway?
28-year-old woman
I have nuvaring as a contraceptive and I have to take it off on Saturday the 28th. I have noticed slight spotting when I wipe myself since today.

Good evening ma'am,
It's best to leave it on despite the spotting.
Do you spotting like this every month?
28-year-old woman · 3 years ago
No this is the first time, this is only when I wipe on the toilet. I wonder why it does that.

I understand.
Are you sure this is coming from the vagina? Could it be coming from the anus or urethra...

It seems to be coming from the vagina, its been about 3 days since I've been in it, I'm no pain and its brown not red

I understand, thank you!
In such a situation, it is best to leave it in place until the scheduled withdrawal date.
If the situation recurs for the next 2 months as well, you will need to look to see if the Nuvaring™ is still a good option for you. If it is, don't hesitate to discuss it with a doctor or your pharmacist.
