Not sure whether or not this is an OK post, as I am a male, but I’m worried about my bride. We have been married for coming up on 6 years and are looking to grow our little family. She had been using a Nuvaring for birth control, and has had it out for almost a month now. She has not had a period yet. I was doing a little research on how long it may take for her body to basically reset from having the birth control in for a year, bit from what I can find, she should have had her period by now. Now I am worried. She is labeling herself as a failure, even though she is not a failure and I try and tell her that as often as I can without it looking suspicious, but she feels because we don’t have a child, she is a failure. Admittedly I am a little disappointed in not having a kid yet, but I understand why we weren’t ready for one yet. And I keep telling her it’s OK, but she keeps labeling herself as a failure. I’m worried about her health, as she is a cancer survivor, with other major health issues. She is also chronicly depressed. So if her body is done with trying for kids, before we even start, I am worried about what that will do to her mental health. I am looking for a woman’s advice and what their experience is with their periods after stopping the Nuvaring.
