Hi Ladies,

I tried Nuvaring last year and seemed to get a yeast infecitn every month. My doc thought perhaps I was getting too much estrogen right into the vagina. I'm bummed b/c I really liked Nuvaring. Did anyone else have this problem, and did it resolve after a few months?

Hello,

I have been on nuvaring for a year now and I also got yeast infections when I first started it. I was pretty miserable the first few months but wanted to give my body time to adjust. It did eventually and now I LOVE the ring and it makes everything so much easier!!

Hopefully your body will get used to it:-)
