Can I skip my period with NuvaRing?

There is no medically indicated reason you need to have a menstrual cycle while you’re on hormonal contraceptives. To skip your cycles on the contraceptive vaginal ring you’ll simply leave the vaginal ring in the vagina for 4 weeks instead of removing the ring after 3 weeks. You’ll have enough hormones in the vaginal ring to provide sufficient pregnancy prevention for the full 4 weeks. Skipping your cycles on birth control has no impact on your future fertility or risk for cancers.
