I have been on the nuva ring for about 2
weeks. Everything that I have read says
that it does not matter where it is placed
and your muscles will keep it in place.
The problem is that mine starts to stick
out, and I actually have to push it back
in. If I push it up as far as I can it
just comes right back down and I can
always feel it. Does anyone else have
this problem? I have talked to a friend of
mine that has it to make sure that I am
putting it in right, and I have followed
the directions exactly. One other thing is
that I have a lot of discharge that
started when I got on the ring, Is this
also a normal side effect?

A lot of discharge is normal. And no, it
doesn't matter where in your vagina it is,
as long as it doesn't fall out. The
hormones are absorbed no matter where it
is in your vagina. It doesn't have to be
in really deep, although it might be more
comfortable for you if it is in deep
because you probably won't feel it.
Really, if it's in there anywhere, and the
ring has expanded (like bounced out to a
circular shape like it does) than your
vaginal muscles should hold it in. If it
is actually falling out, you will probably
want to see your doc about it. You might
have a problem with the muscle tension in
your vagina.
I had it for a while and never had a
problem with mine slipping out unless I
was having sex or using tampons. If
pushing it up as far as you can doesn't
work, I'd see the doc. There's no magic
trick to it or anything, it is really
simple.
