Being on the Nuvaring can cause your period to be lighter and may be shorter than a normal period. So this effect is normal. However if you bleed other times during the month, have vaginal odor, any itching or burning then that is cause for alarm. As long as you change your ring at the appropriate time each month then you are protected.

Best of luck Hun, Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don't forget to click the *ACCEPT* button and leave *POSITIVE* feedback.

NuvaRing - like most birth control bills, will influence most women's menstrual periods. Periods may be more irregular, and generally are lighter. These are common and expected effects of this hormonal method of birth control.
