I'm on the Nuva Ring and I know with the ring... you put it in for 3 weeks, take it out for a week for your period, but you can go up to 3 times without not having one in for a week... I've done this at times, like last time I was going to be on my period during my son's birthday party and he had a pool party, so not a good idea. So instead of taking it out I replaced it and skipped my period. Now this was before I started taking UB again, so I really don't know how this would effect your NBE program. I always allow myself to have periods while on a NBE program. But theoretically... like someone else said... during our periods we deflate anyway... so by not having a period you may bypass that and actually grow more? I went on Nuva Ring because I knew someone that grew a couple cup sizes within a few months just by using it alone, she never lets herself have a period, which I don't think is a good idea... but she doesn't want to ever have kids... so I guess to her becoming infertile isn't a big deal. But I have never went skipping my period more than twice, so just be careful not to do it too much. Not this month since I skipped my period last time, but maybe the month after I'll experiment and skip a period while taking UB to see what happens. Since I really don't care if I grow more, I'm more or less just concerned with keeping size while I get in shape. So I don't mind being a guinea pig LOL. But I will definitely look into this more to make sure it's a safe thing to do first.
