A member asked:
I had the nuvaring in for four weeks instead of my usual three weeks. my periods last about 3 days and brown discharge only. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: continuous nuvaring use often times thins out the uterine lining to the point that you have no bleeding or just a small amount. The brown just means older blood and is to be expected with continuous use. Its not harmful
