Okay so I use the nuva ring off and on. Right now is an on time for me. Actually I just started my period a few days ago. First some background on a normal period for me and then the problem.

Usually without the birth control 5-7 days with major cramping the day before and first 2-3 days then cramping getting lighter. The time between varies from 30-40 days. With the birth control its a bit lighter cramps but still a bit heavy and 5 days with the same bleeding. Usually starting 3-4 days after I take the ring out.

This last period started 2 days after I took the ring out. I didn't think much of it and it was spotting instead of heavy bleeding right away like normal. I've had one or two like this, still wasn't too worried. Bleeding got a bit heavier but still about medium. I figured it would be a light period. Today as I was leaving work I stopped off in the bathroom. Didn't need to change my pad but still looked down to check it.

This is where the question comes in. There was some really unusual discharge. At least that's what I am referring to it as. It was about 1 1/2 - 2 inches long. It was a creamy white color with what looked like a vein and some dark tissue on it. Wondering what it was I used some toilet paper to pick it up and it was fairly firm and round like tubing only it was all organic of course. So I was thinking it was part of the uterus lining but I've never had anything like that before. It wasn't discharge like mucous because it retained it's shape. I thought about saving it and maybe showing a doctor but then decided not too. While driving home it started to bother me.

Should I see a doctor? Does anyone know what I am describing or have any idea about it? Should I worry about this? Oh and the other thing that was bothering me was that I haven't had cramps most of this period. There was some hard cramping the first morning for about 45 minutes and some mild the other mornings. Other than that nothing. Which is highly unusual for me. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
