Anyone elso on the NuvaRing? Question about irritation
Hi this is my third week on the NuvaRing and I have the irritation side effect right now. Did anyone else go through this and how long did it last. I have a doctors appointment today and was wondering if I should switch or tough it out. Right now intercourse is a bit painful after a while. So it's causing me not wanting to have intercourse leaving my partner in need. Thanks in advance for your responses.
Thanks everyone. The doc told me I can take it out for a few hours. But no it's not a yeast infection. It's actual soreness. But it's probably from pushing up every so often. Thanks again.
I use nuvaring. Only irritation Ive ever had if it slips down & we have sex I can feel it. Make sure you have it pushed up as far as you can. Other than that Ive never had a problem. No emotional or physical effects.
Do you have any discharge that would indicate a yeast or bacterial infection? I have heard that being on the ring it is easier to aquire these types of infection. The only problem I have had with the ring when I first started using it was that I always felt like it was falling down and moving closer to the opening and that I needed to push it back up. The other problem I had but that didn't start till after a month was that it became uncofortable to have sex. At first I never notcied it but then it started to feel like it was being pushed against my cervix. The doctor told me I could take it out for 3 hours at a time and then put it back in and that helps. But I am prone to getting infections and feel like this will increase my chances of getting one. I don't know if maybe you are having itchiness or a pain from sex but that might be the problem.
Some internal and external. At first it was mainly external. But that has already stopped. But the internal one still hasn't.
I know "Learner1" is a ring user. Hopefully she logs on and sees your question.
