New N.Ring User, First Time on BC Ever

Hello All,
I'm new to using any form of BC save for condoms. I'm 21 and in good health, never had any such problems heartwise, blood clots, et. al. but breast and cervical cancer run high on my Mother's side, she had the latter unfortunately.
I just inserted the Ring last night, it was somewhat awkward considering my Dr. told me a guy would "never know it's there unless you tell them" but i could feel it with my own fingers, this leads me to believe that they WILL infact feel it and perhaps i could/did not "push" it far enough up into my vagina.
I also had some concerns with weight gain, they are issues within my family and since i hit 20 i have progressively been losing baby fat weight and thensome. The pamphlet said that the risk of weight gain was no greater or even less than that of Depo and other pills but ultimately it all depends on the person and genetics. Oh well to that.
I was wondering if there were any insights, suggestions, experiences, advice in the realm of the Nuva Ring specifically but BC in general.
Thanks so Much.

Hi nuvauser21, welcome!
