Nuvaring question, again.

I inserted the Nuvaring last night. I could not push it up very far though – I mean when I use my index finger to check it, I can feel it before I have my whole finger inserted. Hope that makes sense. It seems pretty comfortable – I don’t really feel it. My 2 questions are: Is it inserted far enough and will it bother my dh when we “do it.” It sure seems like it will be in his way !!

One more question - can you take it out to have sex, then put it right back in?

Hi there,

I have been using the ring for about 8 months now. As long as it is comfortable for you, it is in the right place. We all carry it differently. You can leave it in for sex or take it out for up to three hours at a time. If we take it out for sex, we put it back in soon after we are finished. I think one time I fell asleep and remembered in the morning. Not good but it happened. We don't always remove it for sex, I don't always feel it and neither does he all the time. If it does stay in, it gets pushed up rather high. Don't worry it can't get "lost". Hope that answers your questions :)

Hi mom23gs, welcome!

1) Is it inserted far enough and

If it is where it is comfortable then it’s probably where it will stay. During IC it may get pushed further back but will probably slip down again.

2) will it bother my dh when we “do it.” It sure seems like it will be in his way !!

The ring usually doesn’t bother your partner though they can sometimes feel it.

3) can you take it out to have sex, then put it right back in?

Yes, It can be removed for up to three hours at a time.

Let us know how you like NuvaRing, ok?

Good luck,
