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. If your periods were irregular before the ring, they'll probably return to their irregular habit after you stop the ring.
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.
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.
Regardless of how long you used it, when you take out the last ring, you'll probably have your usual withdrawal bleeding. Your next period is likely to arrive in 4-6 weeks, if your periods were regular before you used Nuva Ring. If you had unpredictable periods before, you're likely to return to your previous irregular habit when you stop hormonal birth control.
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.
If you insert NuvaRing before your period, you may skip that period, or it may be lighter. You also may have bleeding between periods.
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.

Coming from a person who uses the Nuva Ring, I can say from experience that this is normal. The Nuva Ring is specifically designed deliver a low dose of hormones all the time. 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.
Yes, it is. Keep using the Nuva Ring according to the calendar, leaving it in for three weeks and taking it out for seven days, regardless of bleeding.
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.
