What Does Brown Vaginal Discharge While On NuvaRing Indicate?

I have been on nuva ring for couple years now. This time i have brown discharge before a week of my period. The brown discharge still on going, and is on the 6 days. My actual pull out day is within 2 days. Shall i pull it out early or should i let it stay till the right time to pull the nuva ring out? I feel bloated and tired not sure if it because the period is coming? please advise.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Experiencing brown vaginal discharge while on NuvaRing could be caused due to vaginal mucosal irritation as a result of local reaction. Also feeling tired and experiencing bloating sensations are some of the common side effects but not that of serious concern.
You need not bother much about these symptoms and leave the ring for the scheduled period of time.
In case the discharge becomes more and the associated symptoms does not subside, then you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
