Nuvaring and messed up cycles?

I am on nuvaring for the second time in about 3 years. I was on it for about 18 months, and my cycle got all messed up, so I went off it for a while to let my cycle straighten out. When I was on it the first time after about a year I started skipping periods, then having really heavy periods the next month.

This time I went to the doctor mid may and she did a pelvic exam and prescribed the nuvaring for me. I had been using condoms for a year, and my cycle was pretty regular. 2 weeks later I started my period and put in the ring for the first time like the instructions say to. Within about 12 hours my period stopped. I figured it was the hormones getting into my system, and brushed it off. We did have unprotected sex during the month b/c the doctor said that if I put in the ring the first day of my period, we would be covered. This month I took out the ring on the day I was supposed to. Over the week that it was out I had some cramping, but no bleeding...then the day I put in the new ring I did not even have enough bleeding to be described as spotting. It was literally just a few drops of blood on the TP when I wiped.

even though I am only 34 I am thinking maybe I might be going into perimenopause. I looked it up and I have several symptoms...the funky periods, digestive issues, trouble sleeping, being irritable, growing funky chin hairs and stuff like that...

anybody have this kind of experience? I doubt pregnancy is a concern, as I have no other symptoms, but I will test if I get some or miss another period.
