shorter period on NuvaRing

I have been on NuvaRing for 4 months now. Generally, I take the ring out on Sunday, get my period on Thursday, put a new ring in the next Sunday and my period goes to Monday. Well this past week, my period only lasted 2 days. I saw a little hint of it on Saturday but thatwas it. I was a little worried but put the new ring anyways. Now I am wondering if it is normal for your period to shorten. maybe my body is just adjusting to the chemical more?

Also, my breasts start hurting about a week after I put the ring in, and hurt for about a week. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume its not just PMS because they don't hurt anymore by about a week before my period. any thougts? Thanks!

Thanks.I like Nuvaring sofar. The only side effect has been the breast tenderness. Other than that, I have had no problems with it.
