I started using Nuvaring 3 days ago and it slipped out today and there was some whiteish colored discharge on it...is this normal or a bad sign?

Yeah, that's normal. Just make sure to put it back inside! (obviously)

Have I seen other women saying their Nuvaring increased discharge?

Your discharge is supposed to be white... If it's yellow, there's a problem! it can also be clear and that's normal too.

If it was laying around though, you might want to rinse it off Wink

But that's normal like everyone said. Your discharge will change in color throughout your cycle, sometimes clear, sometimes a little cloudy (whiteish) sometimes a tinge of yellow (but if it's really yellow that's a sign of infection)

You would not really have increased discharge in just one day. That was probably your normal discharge that you've simply never noticed.

It's still normal because nuvaring can increase your discharge.

Why on earth not? Are you having bad side effects such as being super emotional, pain, weeks of spotting, migraines, nausea, etc? If not, it's a rather dumb waste to throw $20+ dollars into the trash just because you have some silly white discharge. I always have discharge. I can't throw my vagina away just because I don't like it.

No, discharge and spotting is 100% NORMAL on all forms of hormonal birth control.

YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED ANYMORE!! Absolutely do NOT have unprotected sex!!

You should be okay from the same night you threw away the ring. It's not a great circumstance, but you *should* be okay. Personally, I'd go buy Plan-B just in case, to keep your body from ovulating.

I'd go buy another ring while you're at it, too. You just wasted a lot of money.
