Okay, I just switched for OTC to NuvaRing, and I'm a little worried.My boyfriend and I have a healthy sex life but I now find myself worried about the ring being pushed to far up into the vagina.Is this possible?I don't want to have to worry and not enjoy having sex!

The ring cannot get pushed up too far into your vagina...your cervix is at the end of your vagina and keeps anything from getting lost inside of you.

Here is a link that might ease your fears:

It can't get pushed up too far because there isn't anywhere for it to go. I am confused at where you think it is going to get pushed to??? Your vagina is only a couple of inches deep.

Check out www.theclitoris.com and learn more about your body.

I have been on the ring for two months now. Last month I thought I had a yeast infection, but I am learning that I am just going to be more yeasty on the ring.

You can take it out for up to 3 hours at a time. So if you want to take it out while you have sex, you can do that.
