Maybe, but it could also cause irregular bleeding and spotting. If not having a period on certain day was important to me, I'd plan for that a month in advance, as doing something at the last minute can backfire.

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