nuvaring question

I have been using nuvaring for about a year and a half and I only have a period once every 3 months. It's that time again, but no period. I took a test and it was negative (thank the Lord for that). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what to expect.

Are you leaving the ring in continuously? I have never heard of someone getting periods at 3-month intervals unless it was a planned thing.

I keep my ring in for a month at a time and every three months I take it out for a week to have a period. This is what my gyno told me to do. My periods are pretty light but I've never gone without one completely.

You're using three rings, right?
