Like any hormonal Birth Control method, Nuva Ring is likely to cause lighter flow and shorter periods than you had before you started on it. In the first three months, you may have irregular spotting or bleeding. It's less common on Nuva Ring than on the pill, but it can occur. After the three month "breaking in" period, you should see more regular periods and lighter flow.

Sometimes, on Nuva Ring, the flow gets so light that you don't notice anything at all. That is normal, and there's no need for concern if you used the ring correctly last month. You can take a pregnancy test if you're concerned, though.

This decrease is not dangerous -- it's not as if the lining is building up and waiting to be shed. (In fact, it's this effect on the lining of the uterus that allows hormonal birth control to lower the risk of endometrial cancer in women who use it.)

For some women, the lack of bleeding is welcome, and for others, it's worrisome. If it bothers you, talk with your health care provider about other options.

If you've made a mistake with your ring, it makes sense to take a pregnancy test to make sure that's not a factor. Then discuss your bleeding pattern with your health care provider to make sure no other factors are contributing. Then decide if you think this is a helpful or irritating side effect.

I have been on the Nuva Ring for about 6 months now and it's the only birth control I can take and not have nasty side effects. My doctor told me that it is very common for your period to become very light if not go away completely from using the Nuva Ring after a couple of months. My periods on the Nuva Ring would last for maybe an hour as spotting- and then nothing.

I have been on Nuva Ring for exactly 3 years. My periods have varied but have been so much lighter than before. For the last three months, I have had no period with the 3-week in, 1-week out method for the ring. I went to the doctor 1 month ago and he said it is perfectly normal. I don't feel any different. I am not pregnant either. My sexual activity is sporadic since I don't have a partner, so I don't know if this affects hormonal levels.

During the "ring out" week, your period may not come until five or six days after you take the ring out. Take a pregnancy test if you made any mistakes in use in the prior three weeks. Otherwise, continue to use it according to the schedule on the calendar, regardless of any bleeding.

Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.

NuvaRing, like all hormonal birth control methods, reduces the amount of bleeding that women have. Sometimes the reduction is so great that a woman sees no withdrawal bleeding at all.

Do you need to use a second form of birth control when you have your period but the NuvaRing is in at this time?

You have the same protection from NuvaRing with or without bleeding. Using a second method can increase protection, but it's not required just because you're bleeding.


When can you expect to have a period after you discontinue the NuvaRing on your first week of use?

If you inserted NuvaRing during your period, you're likely to bleed again in two to four weeks.
