Does skipping two months of NuvaRing make you more fertile?
Being on NuvaRing prevents pregnancy; stopping NuvaRing means you no longer have pregnancy protection. There is no special fertility turbo boost from recently stopping birth control.

Some women may have breast tenderness with ovulation after stopping NuvaRing. It's just a matter of your body going back to its regular cycle. Breast tenderness can also be a sign of pregnancy, so take a pregnancy test if you miss your period.
How long should you wait after removing the NuvaRing to try and get pregnant?
There is no need to wait to conceive after stopping NuvaRing. You can get pregnant as soon as you like.
How soon should you test for pregnancy after stopping the use of the NuvaRing?

Have other women experienced bleeding for months after discontinuing NuvaRing?
Sure, but Nuvaring is unlikely to be the cause. If you're having continuous spotting or bleeding, get an exam to find the cause.
Can inserting your NuvaRing prior to your period cause it to be missed or late?
Yes, inserting NuvaRing before your period can delay bleeding.
Can stopping NuvaRing cause a heavier and crampier period?
When you're on hormonal birth control, the hormones make your bleeding lighter and less crampy. When you stop birth control, you are having an actual period, and bleeding and cramping are likely to be heavier. You return to your own previous pattern within a month or two after stopping hormonal birth control. If you're not seeking pregnancy, you can talk with your health care provider about contraceptive options to avoid heavy and crampy periods. If you're trying to get pregnant, talk with your health care provider about options for pain control.
What can you do to stop depression after stopping taking birth control?
Depression is complicated and you need a doctor's help for that.
