I have been skipping my period for about 4 years now with the nuvaring. I keep it in for an extra week and skip it. I'm wondering what happens to those eggs that don't become fertilized, and will this cause an issue in the future for getting pregnant?

Hello. I've been using Nuvaring (for the first time) for 2 days now and I am on my period. I was wondering if the blood won't accumulate around the ring and cause an infection around the cervix or is that very unlikely ?
