... left it in for three weeks, and took it out for one week, but I didn't start my period on the week it was out. I did have sex within the first two weeks of putting it in, but used condoms. I'm supposed to put my nuvaring back in tomorrow. Is this normal? Will I just not have a period this month? Any advice? Thanks in advance
No period during the week my nuvaring was taken out?

It can happen with hormonal birth control. Just put the ring back in when its due. If you don't have a period next time you take it out, then do a pregnancy test, but its most likely just the hormones.

Its not uncommon. I actually leave the ring in for 4 weeks so I DONT get a period. I make sure I change it on the same day every 4 weeks. This practice is a little unusual but I just REALLY don't like having a monthly visitor along with any of the symptoms ( cramping, bloating, etc). That's just MY preference. Good luck. Be safe

I forgot to mention this practice is approved by my physician.
