Some Nuvaring questions!

Hi! I know there are a bunch of questions about Nuvaring out there, but I hope these are different questions! I just started it a few weeks ago, so I am not sure about these things...

1. I have been a little extra sore after sex lately. Could the ring be rubbing against the walls and irritating them or is it just from other factors? Has anyone had that happen? I'm always a tiny bit sore after because my bf is fairly well-endowed, but since I've put the ring in, it just seems more sore even though neither of us can feel the ring during sex. It could be different things, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had that happen.

2. Will I likely be able to tell if it falls out? Since I can't feel it when it's inside me, so I've been kind of paranoid about it! I know it's easy to just check, but I am just curious if most people can tell if it's come out or if you just have to always be aware and looking after sex/during showers/etc.

3. Is it easy to get the ring out? I have to do it in a few days, and I can't imagine it's especially difficult, but I'm curious if anyone had difficulties!

I think that's it. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

Hey :) Since you replied on my post the least I could do was answer the one question I can so far due to the fact that I just inserted today. :)

It is so simple to get the ring out. I was in the shower and it felt a little low so I was going to just push it up further and then I was like "I'll see if I can get this out easily like they say." Well, I did! I just reached with my pointer finger( if its not long enough use middle finger) and 'hooked' my finger in it and it came out no problem. Of course right after I put it back in though. So yes, its very easy to get it out and you should have no trouble :) Hope that helps!

It's possible that with the change in hormones (either from coming off the pill or from not using hormonal birth control) that you have less vaginal lubrication than you did before.
