I just started using my NuvaRing yesterday and have read all the great things regarding NuvaRing, but I am curious to hear any negative. I just would hate to be caught off guard and run scared to my Dr. I have not been able to find anyone to say anything bad regarding the Ring.
Please give me more insight to what I may encounter with this new Birth Control method.

Staceylynn--The negatives that have been reported here have typically been too much discharge (as Rowan experienced), some women could feel it and it bothered them, some women had trouble with it staying in, some women found themselves moody and bloated, just as with anything else, some people aren't going to like it. But just like anything else, there are going to be a large number of people that do! All you can do at this point is hope that you're in the group that doesn't have any problems with it.
Good luck!

I thought the ring was a great idea, but I did encounter difficulties with it - it had trouble staying put, kept slipping down you know? And also I was mooooody as all hell on it! I felt like a bomb about to explode all the time. I switched to cyclessa (a triphasic pill) and I was fine. Strange since usually a triphasic pill would cause more moodiness they say, but perhaps that just mimics my normal cycle.
I guess that's about it. My bf at the time said he didn't mind it, but he said he could feel it most of the time and that was strange (he's pretty large and remember it wouldn't stay put).
I know lots of women who LOVE this method, and I bet you will be just fine. Good luck!!!
Thank you to all who have submitted their experiences. I feel a bit more informed to know what to look for if something was to be wrong.
