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.
Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.
If you take out NuvaRing early, you may or may not have bleeding. This bleeding is withdrawal bleeding, not a menstrual period.
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.
yes it will.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
No. That will put you at risk for pregnancy during the seven days, because the ring was in too long. Instead, use as directed: Nuva Ring for three weeks and hormone free for seven days.
If an accidental pregnancy occurs, the Nuva Ring should not cause a miscarriage.
