Dear Reader; Going on and off BC meds including the ring can cause a change in when periods come. Sinse I can't tell you which is the case for you I suggest a test or seeing your health care provider or both. Dwight
When you stop using the Nuva Ring, the timing of your cycle may change. You may or may not keep getting your period at the same time of the month.
It's a possible side effect. Some women love that side effect, and some don't.
When you stop Nuva ring, you'll normally have the usual withdrawal bleeding you experienced in prior months of ring use. After that, if you had regular 28 day periods prior to using Nuva Ring, you can expect your next period in 4-6 weeks.
Yes, you can use NuvaRing if you have never had a child.
no, one ring lasts one month
yes it will.
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. Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.
If you used the ring correctly during the last month, pregnancy is not likely. 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.

For women who had regular periods before using Nuva Ring, ovulation resumes two to four weeks after stopping the Ring. 85% of couples will get pregnant within the year after stopping Nuva Ring.
Yes, you should take a pregnancy test if you had unprotected sex during the last month. The late period could be due to pregnancy or due to delayed ovulation after Nuva Ring.
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.
Irregular bleeding in the first three months of using hormonal birth control like Nuva Ring is common, although it happens less often with Nuva Ring than with the pill. If unexpected bleeding is still occurring in your fourth month on the ring, or if you have other symptoms, contact your health care provider.
