A member asked:
Do i have to take a week break on nuvaring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is perfectly safe to leave the ring in for four weeks and then put a new one in. If you do this you will tend not to have a period but there is nothing wrong with this. The only reason to take a break is to bring down a period which is totally artificial.
