I posted this under Advice, wonder if I can get advice here :).
I will be using the Nuva ring soon, and I would to get the feedback/advice of other women who have used it. I want to be sure I put it one during the appropriate time of the month. I have the rings and was given instructions on how to put it, but is a bit confusing to me. 1. I was told to put it on the first Sunday of my period 2. The instructions say I have the ring on for 3 weeks and one week free, in which the ring free week is the week of my period They sound confusing and contradicting. Also, would the ring not fall if I put it on during my period especially because of the blood flow? I appreciate your wisdom in advance gricelda Posted on 06/23/09, 02:06 pm Posted on 06/25/09, 01:06 pm |

I used the Nuvaring for about six months and ended up with NO sex drive, so just be careful about that! I'm really sensitive to hormone birth control pills, depo prevera, etc, so it may just be me. I think it may have been mental too because he could feel it during intercourse and I was worried when there was 'finger play' because both of us could feel it.
As I recall, 1. Put the ring in on the Sunday that you start your period. It doesn't haven't to be on a Sunday, it's just easier to remember. 2. 21 days later, take the ring out. 3. You will probably start your period on about day 24. 4. Put a new ring in on day 28, even if you are still on your period and where it for the 21 days. Because I have heavy periods and heavy discharge (yuck), I took it out almost daily to wash it and clean it off. Not necessary but I did it anyway. The pamphlet says you can take it out for up to 4 hours without any effect, so I took it out when I knew I was going to have sex because I was self-conscience about it. Just remember to put it back in. Hope that helps. Laurel
