    Default nuvaring doesn't fit??

    So I've been on nuvaring for going on three months now...and I keep having the same problem:

    It's usually slipped out a few centimeters. When I try to push it in farther, the furthest it can go it just barely before the opening.

    I've tried different angles, everything, and the thing is just too big/i'm wayyyy too small. Does anyone else have this problem??

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Your gyno should have established your eligibility for nuvaring when prescribing it :\

    I'd go back in and talk to your gyno to make sure your body shape can actually handle the nuvaring.

    This happens to me some months, essp. when I used it in the beginning. Eventually my vag adjusted, or perhaps I got better about pushing it up further.

    I was told if you can accommodate a tampon, you're good to go with Nuvaring. It's possible you have really strong muscles and they're pushing the ring out.

    I'd say this is something to take to the doctor.

    I hated nuvaring. I'm going depo. I was on my period for two months with nuva. Didn't have problems with losing it, just the period mess.

    I had this issue when I tried it. I am really small tho....like cannot use tampax small. They are too long and just will not fit, playtex work tho. I also had issues going to the gyno. They always have to get a kids speculum thingie, the regular won't fit. So maybe I'm a freak or something?!?! Dunno! Always seem to be able to have sex without any issues tho.

    I hated nuvaring. I wanted the pill, the doctor talked me into nuvaring, and I spend 5 months fighting with it. It would fall out, it would slide around, I could always feel it, I spent 2 months spotting and I think my favorite was the "ring toss"... The accidental cock ring.

    Plus I know 3 people that have "nuva ring babies" after following instructions to the letter.

    Not a fan.

    Ugh that's like 'the patch' babies. My bf's ex got preggers on it. She lost is bc of her health problems and stuff, but she still tested posi! I only trust depo... well I trust the pill I just don't trust myself to take it daily.

    I want to look into mirena. Someone was talking highly about it the other day.

    i was on nuvaring for 2 years and i liked it, its supposed to sit in a little "shelf" far back in your vagina, however, what I didnt like is because of my own paranoia I always was checking to see if it was there. Also there is spotting, and I know a few people who conceived on it also.

    I love NuvaRing...I've been on it collectively for 3 years. I suppose that's why there's so many times of hormonal contraceptives; every women reacts to them differently. BlueJeanBaby - if it's really uncomfortable then try out another prescription. You'll find something that works well with your body. Take care!

    i tried it out for a total of three days. Actually I'm not sure because one morning I just found it in my bed. In my opinion the pill is still the best.

    This is why I go with the IUD instead of anything hormonal. Although I know you CAN conceive on it, the chances are about equal to conceiving with surgical sterilization and there aren't the nasty side effects of the pill (my period went from 2-3 days to 3-4 days and is about as heavy as before, I had more cramping for a few months, but that went away). I still have a veeeery healthy sex drive too, which the pill sorta killed.

    Depo is killing my everything. My sex drive, my mood, and my metabolism.

    The HD where I live will shortly be using Mirena though, so maybe I'll try it.

    Oh and also, you can conceive on other forms of BC and I'm sure the percentage is about the same! Might as well go with the non hormonal version! I'm so wanting to try it but I bet it's uber expensive and the HD doesn't have it anyway.
