If NuvaRing® has been left in your vagina for up to one extra week (four weeks in total or less), remove it and insert a new contraceptive ring after a one-week ring-free break. If NuvaRing® has been left in place for more than four weeks, you may not be adequately protected against pregnancy and you must check to be sure you are not pregnant. If you know or suspect that you're pregnant, do not use NuvaRing®. If you are not pregnant, insert a new contraceptive ring. You must use an extra method of Birth Control, such as male condoms or spermicide, until the new NuvaRing® has been in place for seven days in a row.

The answer to this (and other questions about the Nuvaring) can be found on the official Nuvaring website:
After 3 weeks of use, NuvaRing® should be removed for 1 week and then a new one should be inserted. If the ring-free interval has been extended beyond 1 week, the possibility of pregnancy should be considered, and you will need to use an additional method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, until you have used NuvaRing® 7 days in a row. If you know or suspect you are pregnant, do not use NuvaRing®. See your doctor as soon as possible."
If you remove NuvaRing a day late, there are no special concerns about pregnancy as long as it wasn't in for more than four weeks. Put the new ring in on schedule, no later than 28 days after you inserted the last ring.
If you skip a month, then when you restart, you'll need to use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days. If you have intercourse during that skipped month, you will be at risk for unintended pregnancy unless you use another method.
As long as it wasn't inside you for more than 4 weeks then you're still protected against pregnancy.
Put it back in as soon as you remember. If you had unprotected sex while the Nuva ring was removed, then there is a risk of pregnancy.
Insert it as soon as you remember, and use a backup method of birth control for the next 7 days.
Putting the Nuva Ring in a "little late" on the day it is due should not cause any problems.
The same thing happen to me Im just going to leave the Nuva ring out the Rest of the week because I hear that when you take the Nuva ring out you will get your period and yu will just put it back in a week later starting a new cycle
If you've had Nuva Ring in for the last three weeks, you can expect your usual withdrawal bleed when you take it out. Bleeding could start anytime during the ring-out week, and may continue into the first days of your next ring. You can still use tampons or pads for any bleeding. You should continue using Nuva Ring according to the schedule on your calendar, regardless of the timing of any bleeding.
Not effective at all, I was a week late on the neuva ring and got pregnant!
If you used Nuva Ring correctly in the previous three weeks, there is no increased risk of pregnancy during the ring-free week.
You only have to wait a week when inserting the first ring the first time. Otherwise, as long as it hasn't been more than a week since you had a ring in, there's no need to abstain or use a back up method during the first week.
If you used the ring correctly and consistently in the three weeks before the ring-free week, you have no decrease in protection during the ring-free week.
The Nuva Ring is the most effective type of IUD birth control. You can keep it in for three weeks and then remove it for one week to experience your regular menstrual period. Once that week is over, you can replace the Nuva Ring and restart the 3-week cycle.

Some women have little or no bleeding during the ring-free week. If you've used the ring correctly, there is no cause for concern.
When you stop Nuva Ring, you'll get your usual withdrawal bleed in the first week after you remove it. After that, if you had regular 28 day cycles prior to using Nuva Ring, you'll probably get your next period in 4-6 weeks. You may have some irregular bleeding or spotting during that time.
