Is this normal?

I was on the NuvaRing for 3 months straight and used it to skip my cycle. After the 3rd or 4th week I would take it out & put in a new ring. While doing this I still bled either light or really heavy. I stopped using the NuvaRing the week before Thanksgiving. My husband & I started trying to make a baby soon after taking the ring out. I have not had a cycle since i’ve taken the NuvaRing out and it’s going on a month now.

I agree with the last comment, but I would take a test just to confirm.

The ring gives you the same hormones that the birth control pill would- which sometimes it takes your body some time to adjust to those hormones being taken, or being taken away.  Since it's only been a month, I would chalk that up to "adjustment" length, but have you taken a pregnancy test just to be sure?

I was  thinking the same thing that my body is trying to get use to not being on the NuvaRing. I have not taken a test yet. I was trying to wait it out to see if my cycle comes on by the end of the month. I’ve been having mood swings and bad back pains as well which I think came from the NuvaRing

Last it was supposed to come on Nov 3rd according to my app but I started the NuvaRing in September though so I’m not sure when my cycle should start.
