Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
So you put in a new nuvaring at the end of the third week to extend your period free interval. I am assuming that this worked! Here is what I would do:
1. You could have left the second one in for the full three weeks and then taken a week off.
2. If you already took the second one out, then leave it out and restart a new one on Sunday night of this week (even if you are still bleeding)
3. Use backup birth control for the next 3 weeks.
Please let me know if this answers your questions! Good luck!
