No, the Nuva Ring offers no protection in the 5th week. It is effective for the first three weeks it's in. In the fourth week, you normally remove the ring. You are still protected against pregnancy from the use during the previous three weeks, but not from having the ring in the vagina. In the fifth week, protection runs out. A women who finds she's forgotten to change the ring four weeks or more after the last one was inserted should remove the old ring, insert a new ring, and use that as the new ring change day. The new ring should be removed after three weeks, on the same day of the week it was inserted. If she has had intercourse during that fifth week, she might consider using emergency contraception to reduce the risk of pregnancy from sex that occurred during the previous five days.

I'm on nuva ring and i started to brown bleed and now full blown bleeding while still nuva ring is still inserted what should i do take the ring out?

The same thing happened to me. You're supposed to leave the ring in place for the full three weeks to ensure protection. Supposedly you can spot any time that you're on the ring and be fine. If you phone the Nuvaring hotline, they'll tell you to go see your doctor if it keeps up/happens again next month.
