Can I expect my period to be shorter and lighter like on the pill?

The directions say to take it out after 3 weeks, but no back up method is needed unless I leave it in for more than 4 weeks. So, can I leave it in for 4 weeks and make my periods further apart? Or can I insert a new ring after the three weeks and skip my periods altogether?

Thanks in advance,

Lisa

I've been using the ring since December of 2002 and my period is lighter than it was on any pill I've taken, much lighter than without hormonal birth control.
