View 1 RepliesI think I may be having something similar going on. About five days before I was supposed to remove my nuvaring, I was spotting light brown discharge and now that I have removed it at its right time, I seem to be having my period mixed with the brown discharge on top of a decent amount of clotting. Should I be concerned?
View 1 RepliesNuvaring fell out during sex in which he ejaculated inside me. I didn't notice until the next day and re-inserted the Nuvaring about 15 hours after it fell out. I need to know if the sex I had last night could have gotten me pregnant. Do I have to take the morning after pill or will I be fine since I had it in consistently before the sex and put it back in the next day?
View 1 RepliesI've been on the nuvaring for 3 weeks (will take it out tomorrow for my break week) and I had sex with my boyfriend and he came inside me. He had come and the ring had been around his penis. When I saw this, I just reinserted the ring back inside. Could I be pregnant? Should I take plan b?
View 1 RepliesI have been using nuvaring since last may I believe haven't gotten pregnant but recently started doing back to back nuvarings. I am experiencing some symptoms I would if I were to be pregnant but I'm not sure if it's a side effect or what my chances are getting pregnant back to back packages. I do have nuvaring in place right now.
View 1 RepliesOkay so me and my boyfriend were fooling around and after i gave him a blowjob, he ejaculated twice and 6-7 minutes later after wiping all of his already dried cum with a tissue he rubbed his penis (no protection) on my clitoral hood and a little bit down for maybe like 5 seconds. he says that he wiped it off completely and that his penis was dry even after all the rubbing so there wasn't any precum. but i'm really scared since i was ovulating. According to him no fluid comes out of his penis after he ejaculates. I've read that dry sperm is dead sperm and he's 100% confident that his penis was dry. We did this on 23 Feb and my next period date is 9 March but because of all this stress I don't think I'm gonna get my period on time. What are the odds of me getting pregnant from this? When should I take the pregnancy test?
View 1 RepliesHi had unprotected sex on monday night. He didn't come im me but i am worried about precum. His penis didnt enter fully into my vagina. I took the morning after pill nine hours later. I am still worried about being pregnant. What are your opinions

Who here has been on the NuvaRing?
After discussing my options with my doctor last week, I decided to give it a try. So far so good. I had some cramping in the first few days, but that's completely gone now and I haven't noticed any other side effects.
Part of why I chose NuvaRing is I don't have to think about it very much. Also, my doctor doesn't like the implant, and would rather save an IUD for last if I don't find something else I like. She did mention Depo, but I didn't want that because of what I've heard about bone density loss and weight gain, neither of which I want. Another reason is my doctor said she has lots of patients with success skipping their periods on the ring, and that's something that's important to me. If I could, I'd stop my period until I was ready to get pregnant.
Okay so inserted the Nuvaring in February. I like it so far. Pretty easy. I like not having to remember it everyday. But what I want to know is is it possible for it to give me a fishy smell inside my vagina? For example I wanted to wash myself up and go have fun with hubby and I did so. And after i washed I did a test run and I wiped the surface of my vagina with my finger and it didn't smell like anything so I thought "cool". Well he stuck his finger inside of me and it had a fishy smell. Nothing else is going on down there. No discharge. No burning, itching, etc. Do I need to take my nuvaring out and give it a rinse every once in awhile or what?
View 1 RepliesRecently My nuvaring was taken out for sex, and yes I know you don't have to, but I do because of the painful friction when its not inserted deep enough. I realized the next morning that it was out still (more than three hours), and put it back in like the pamphlet says.. Only I didn't realize that I was in my third week, which comes with different instructions. Not knowing what to do, I left it in and took it out on my normally scheduled day. Now I have my period and my question is should I put a new ring in now, on the first day of My period, or on the day I would have taken it out had the cycle not been interrupted, or should I put it in a week from day that that I took it out the first time? I took it out Thursday put it back in Friday morning and took it out Sunday. Now today my period started. What do I do? How long should I use extra protection for?
View 1 RepliesMy nuvaring fell out and I am not sure how long it was out. I did not take precautions to prevent pregnancy and I am not sure whether or not to insert my new one. Today would be the normal insertion day, but I do not know if I am pregnant or not?
View 1 RepliesI have been on nuvaring for 6 months. Last month I decided to leave it in for four weeks and change the ring after the 4th week. That same week my husband and I had sex. I assumed the nuvaring protected us from conception. Well 3 weeks later I started spotting, brown which I figured was normal but then it became bright red. Thursday morning I woke up with massively painful cramps. It was very difficult for me to function and I took misplace for the last 3 days to cope with the cramps. The cramping subsided Friday morning, but bleeding was heavier. I removed the ring Thursday thinking it was causing the issue and began using tampons. When I removed my tampon yesterday it was soaked and there was tissue around the base. A large piece of pinkish red tissue. Is this just endometrial cells or could I have been pregnant and miscarried?
View 1 RepliesI'm 23 years old and I recently got my very first gynecological exam, on the 14th more precisely, and my doctor prescribed me the Nuvaring. I inserted it on the same day and I've been having cramps ever since then. Is that normal? They feel exactly like menstrual cramps, except I'm not in my period at all.I used to take the pill but I stopped 3 years ago because I always forgot to take it. That's why I asked my doctor about the nuvaring, because I really wanted to start the pill again because I always have huge and painful cramps when I got my period and the pill is supposed to help reduce the pain.Since I started Nuvaring, I get cramps about 4 or 5 times a day and it only lasts a couple of seconds, but it's quite painful and unpleasant.I have a short vagina and my uterus is retroverted, I dunno if it's related?I will call my doctor to get another appointment but I'm sure it won't be until next month till I get to see her, so in the meantime, if anyone has any idea of what is causing the pain, please let me know!
View 1 RepliesA few days ago I tried the NuvaRing for the first time. The first two days were fine. Then yesterday I was at work and I got this horrible migraine and then I turned pale. I was nauseous and dizzy, it was so bad that I slightly fainted and my supervisor told me to go lay down. When I got home I had a low grade fever and abdominal pain. I took that damn ring out. Birth control has never done this to me. I have been in bed trying to sleep off the fevers. I think I may have an infection. I'll be calling the doctor Monday.
View 3 RepliesI tried out the nuvaring AMD I want to say I kept it in for about a week. I started the day after my period completely stopped. Before I had started this birth control I showed signs of a bacterial infection (washed my clothes in scented detergent by accident)... At this time I started my period which was at the end of the month. The last day of my period was on the first of last month which was march. I started my birth control I'll say on the 2nd, I kept it I'm for about a week or a week and a half if not 2 weeks. I decided to remove it because I was uncomfortable with the feeling.... After suddenly stopping, now today April 6th I have not seen my period. What are the possibilities of me being pregnant or could this been the after effects of the nuvaring for stopping suddenly..
View 1 RepliesI have absolutely horrific periods, my cramps are so bad I have to curl up in bed all day and take a muscle relaxant so I can make it through them. My doctor put me on Nuvaring and it's been giving me really intense headaches and nausea. I'm not a fan of being on medication of any sort but I can't live with my periods the way they are. I was wondering if putting Nuvaring in the week of my period (a few days before it starts) and keeping it in for a week (7-9 days) would prevent me from having a period. I realize this is not the intended use for it, but I would like to try it. Would this work to prevent me getting my period if I did it every month or would it start after I removed the ring after a week of use?
View 1 RepliesI have been on the NuvaRing for about a year now and it is awesome. Thing is, I had issues from wisdom teeth and was put on Amoxicillin halfway through my cycle. Hubby and I did not have sex after I was put on the antibiotics, but I was wondering if there is anything to worry about for the week before I started taking it? Any chance it will mess up my cycle? I should start my period in a day or two and I usually feel cramps starting by now. Did the amoxicillin delay my period?
View 1 RepliesSo I just had a baby 7 weeks ago and I was given the Nuvaring for birth control. I cannot seem to get it in far enough. When I do get it back there it immediately twists and comes down back to the opening. Is this normal? I am following the diagrams of how to insert it. I feel like my body is pushing it out, if that makes sense. Should I just switch to an IUD? Just wanting to know if I can't get it in properly if it's worth using.
View 2 RepliesI've been on the Nuvaring for a couple of weeks now, and while originally, I had no issues, it seems now that my body is trying to expel/reject it. Could this be due to possible pregnancy?
(Note: I'm aware that some women's bodies simply reject the Nuvaring. I was inquiring as to whether there's a possible connection, that aside.)
