Normal : That's just blood. Black is just older blood. Color and the consistency of menstrual blood is not something you need to worry about

See doctor: Abnormalities in the uterus and cervix do occur with the NuvaRing, abnormal bleeding can occur. Black heavy discharge for two days should be checked out.

Normal: When women have vaginal blood that's very dark, it just means it's been there for a while. You can use a new ring every four weeks instead or 3weeks in, without the one week off and withdrawal bleed. There is enough hormone in the ring for 35 days. bleeding eventually stops which is safe and has been well studied. Remember you do not have a "period" on the Pill or ring
