Q: No Period On Nuvaring

I have been on Nuvaring for about 3 and half weeks now.This is the first time ever for me to be on any type of birth control.Well this is my ring free week and im not having a period.I know for sure that im not pregnant.On my ring free week I have been cramping like I normally would and a large amount of brown spotting but no period.Do you think it's just my body trying to adjust to this new birth control? Is it common for most women to not get a period the first month they use birth control?

What day are you on? Sometimes your period won't come until half way through or almost all the way through the week.

Nuvaring, like many types of birth control, is also known to slow a woman's period. So if it really lightens and eventually goes away, that's normal too.
