Nuvaring and discharge

Hi ladies,
I was just wondering how normal it is to experience discharge with Nuvaring. I've been on it since October and have been completely discharge-free, but noticed some both yesterday and today. I'm not sure if this could signal ovulation (I don't think so, because it's not the egg white-like discharge). I put the new ring in last Wednesday night -- 9 days ago, and I have slight cramps today, which may actually be gas (sorry if TMI!!).

How many of you experience discharge during the three active Ring weeks? Should I be concerned? Normally I wouldn't be, but since this is the first time in 6 months I've seen discharge, I'm a little alarmed.

Thanks as always!

I have only been on NuvaRing for one month now, but I have noticed more discharge now than when I was on pills. I wouldn't be too worried.

Ever since I've been on Nuvaring (and the first time I tried it too) I've had more than normal for me discharge. It is slighly annoying, but it isn't yeasty like.

As long as you only have a bit more of discharge than normal for you and it doesn't seem like a yeast infection, I would think you are fine.. But if it persists, smells, itches or you think it might be different than something normal for you..I would then talk to a doctor about it.
