help using nuvaring

Hello Ladies,

I just went on sat for my 7 week check up, and asked the dr not to give me birth control pills as i gain weight while taking them, so he put me on nuvaring. I understand that you put it into your vagina, but im a bit concern about having sex. If when i have sex does the nuvaring goes further in. if so how am i suppose to take it out in 3 weeks. For any of you that are using nuvaring, is it unconfortable?, does your partner feel it? is it hard to put it in and to remove it? Also when you i start it, on the pack it states to start using it the first day that i have my period, but while i was on the pill i use to start taking it on a sunday? please help im so confused!

Thanks in advance
Vanessa

Okay, first, you asked if it's hard to take out after having sex.. It's not at all. The ring can only go in there so far, and it's very flexable, so if your s.o.'s penis were to hit it, it probably flexes a bit, so it's not like this hard object that's going to poke you, KWIM?? IMO it's

The ring cannot go past your cervix, so you will still be able to reach it. DH can feel it sometimes with his finger, sorry if tmi, but not during sex. I don't ever feel it, even during sex.

Thankyou ladies for the advice. I used the nuvaring on sunday and its was simple to put it in, hopefully it will be the same to remove it. Quick question can i use tampons while having the nuvaring inside me.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm using the Nuvaring for the second month now. I think it's great...I don't feel it, my bf sometimes can feel it but it's not uncomfortable. It was easy to remove, too.
