What happens when you don't get your period after removing the Nuva Ring and should you still insert another one the following week as directed?

Answer 1

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. 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. You should continue using the ring accoring to the schedule on the calendar.

Answer 2

Sometimes you can miss a period when using hormonal contraception. If you haven't made any mistakes using NuvaRing in the past month, there's no need for concern. If it happens again next month, take a pregnancy test contact your health care provider. If you did make a mistake in your NuvaRing use this month, or if you're having symptoms of pregnancy, take a pregnancy test.

Insert the next NuvaRing on schedule regardless of whether you had bleeding after removing NuvaRing or not. Keeping on the schedule without regard to bleeding is important for NuvaRing's effectiveness.
