Good morning, Mrs,

Is the bleeding today as heavy as on day 1 of your period?

If so, I suggest removing the ring and putting it back on 3 to 7 days later (a second method of contraception will be necessary during the period without the ring and the first 7 days that you wear it)

If the bleeding is more like spotting, or the amount of bleeding decreases, I encourage you to keep the ring in place as planned

I will be available if you have any further questions

Yes, it can be quite annoying but usually goes away on its own. We monitor this for 3 months.
