Why do I get PMS symptoms on birth control?
Your body produces high levels of progesterone and estrogen during the luteal phase, but then there’s a drop of hormones when you actually start to bleed. This is exactly when PMS kicks in—you deal with cramps, you’re bloated, you can’t sleep well, your breasts are tender, and you have headaches (just to name a few).
Do you ovulate on NuvaRing?
You wear the ring inside your vagina, and you absorb the hormones into your body though your vaginal lining. The hormones in the ring stop ovulation. No ovulation means there’s no egg hanging around for sperm to fertilize, so pregnancy can’t happen. The ring’s hormones also thicken the mucus on your cervix.
How long after removing NuvaRing can you get pregnant?
Waiting a minimum of one month after removing the ring is best, as it allows the body to have at least 1 regular menstrual cycle before attempting to get pregnant.

Does Mirena cause PMS?
“After you ovulate, progesterone levels start to rise,” Gunter says. “We believe it’s this change in levels that triggers PMS.” And because IUDs, unlike birth-control pills or the NuvaRing, don’t suppress ovulation, you could still experience those hormonal changes and all the PMS symptoms that come with them.
