Ring removal: can leave you unprotected unless using alternate double barrier techniques:condoms PLUS spermicidal foam, gel, sponge etc.. Additionally, you may experience breakthrough heavy bleeding and cramping.

My doctor told me to put a new nuvaring in every week for three weeks, then leave it out for a week and repeat, shouldn't it only be one ring a month?

I have been using NuvaRing for years and never experienced Dark Brown discharge 2 weeks before my period is scheduled to come. I am extremely tired and it is hard to concentrate. I did leave the ring in week longer and had unprotected sex within that time
