Would they make me wait? gr annoying thoughts.

Thanks again
Brandye answered it in this thread for me. I was uncertain myself. I do know they can induce a cycle, had it done. I would think a serum preg test (both qualitative & quantitative) would clarify the pregnancy factor. As she states if a regular cycle has not begun inserting a IUD causes bleeding regardless and can be confused if it's the depo wearing out or a side effect of the IUD. I looked into them briefly, but held for other medical reasons a few years ago.

I am uncertain of your health system & what they consider when placing one. I do know here, in the US, it's a non-issue once pregnancy has been ruled out. However, BC is pretty liberal here & not a restrictive in the options available. Use a form which is tried & true. She did state you can private pay for the nuvaring in the UK; perhaps try that for a few months?

BC has been a nightmare for you!
