Hi,
I just started NuvaRing today and I was just wondering what other peoples experiances with it are like? It was easy to insert and seems like it'll be easy to remove. And right now I can't feel it and it's been in a few hours. Can you feel it at all during intercourse? Can he? Anyone have any specific problems with it that it might be good to know about? Thanks so much in advance.

hi!
I've been using Nuvaring since last Sept/Oct. I love how easy it is to use and that I don't have to think about it all the time.
My little bit of acne that I had (especially right before my period), cleared up almost 100%. I do notice more discharge off and on throughout the month, but that is fine and worth it for me. No weight gain. Not much moodiness, that isn't normal for me. :)
My BF says he can feel the ring when he manually stimulates me, but I don't believe he feels it during actual intercourse. If he has felt it, he hasn't mentioned it.
(If your guy does feel it and it is uncomfortable, you can take it out for sex for up to 3 hours at a time.)
Check others posts on this board, there are lots of ladies that have many good things to say about Nuvaring..and maybe a few negative ones.
Good luck, I hope you like it.

Overall, my experience on the ring was good. I loved the convenience of it, it was easy to insert/remove, etc. I did have some not so pleasent side effects, I had issues with mood swings and constant irregular bleeding, so I was only on it for 6 months. My SO said he could not feel it, but he did get "ringed" one time, so after that, I just took it out before sex.
HTHs,

The only thing is, in the beginning my BF felt it during intercourse. It was a little uncomfortable at first for him but since then he hasn't mentioned it so I don't think it gets in the way anymore.
Good Luck with it!
So far my guy hasn't ever been ringed, but I would love for it to happen! That just seems like it would be so funny!
Also, I forgot to add earlier that the ring has made my period lighter and maybe even shorter.. (I can't remember at the moment.)

I used it for three years, and I didn't have any issues with it.
