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. 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.
Many women using Nuva Ring have noticed that their withdrawal bleeding starts later in the week than it did when they were using the birth control pill. If you take out the ring on Sunday, you might not spot or bleed until Thursday or Friday. That's fine; just put in the new ring on Sunday (in this example) as scheduled.
Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.

After you take out your last Nuva Ring, you'll probably have your usual withdrawal bleeding. After that, your next period will probably come in 4-6 weeks, if you were regular prior to using Nuva Ring.

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.

When you take out the Ring, your body recognizes that is it not receiving those hormones and it has it's period. When you don't give your body the hormones, it has it's period.

When you're on hormonal birth control, the amount and color of withdrawal bleeding may be different from your period when you're not on birth control. Brown discharge counts as a period when you're on the pill, patch, or ring.
