QuestionI just recently found out i had clymidia i was treated with antibiotics since taking the antibiotics i have had abnormal bleeding,bloating in stomach,diarrhea,vaginal odor and alot of pain. i am on the nuva ring birthcontrol continues meaning instead of taking it out every 21 days and leaving it out for a week to have a peroid i change it every 21 days to not have a peroid so i shouldn't even be bleeding, do you have a idea what could be wrong am so scared tat i am going to did or something please help me?
AnswerHi Jennifer
Usually, using an antibiotic while on BC, can produce side effects like bleeding, pain, stomach issues. The antibiotic itself, makes the Nuvaring less effective while taking.
I'd also consult with my doctor as well. But until you complete your antibiotics, I'd use additional BC.
I don't know what antibiotic you are taking...but basically until you are done with them, you will probably experience these side effects...
I hope you feel better soon...
