So many questions!: Let's take easiest question 1st. Is it ok to stop using nuvaring? Sure but then you can get pregnant again. If that's what you want, don't use NuvaRing or any other form of birth control. But if you don't want to get pregnant, ya gotta use something. Why didn't you get a period? Lots of reasons, one of which is possible pregnancy from improper use. Check out http://goo.Gl/tckm7f.

Hormone imbalance: If not pregnant, then a temporary hormone imbalance probably occurred. This would cause a skip or irregular bleeding. Usually this will fix itself in 3 or 4 cycles. But sometimes, we can use ocp to regulate a womans cycle. If the ring is working. I would continue for 2 or 3 cycles and the stop. Of course, if you need contraception, the ring is a good one.
