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. Your bleeding will eventually stops which is safe and has been well studied. Remember you do not have a "period" on the Pill or ring.
