Has anyone tried the new birth control
vaginal ring that the fda has just
approved (in canda) called nuvaring?

I have been on nuvaring since january 9th.
So far I like it, I haven't noticed any
symptoms from it and it is basically worry
free.
The only issue I have had with it so far
is that my first period has seemed to go
on and on for weeks. When i'm not on bc
my periods are normally like 10-12 days
(which is one reason I take bc to regulate
my periods)... Its only very light brown
spotting, so its not like i've had
continual flow. So, i'm guessing that it
is just due to my normal cycle getting
into the nuvaring cycle.
I'm scheduled to take the ring out on jan
30th for my 4th week. Hopefully my
cycle will be more normal! :)

I've been using the nuvaring for about 5
months now. I haven't had any problem
with it. I'm really happy with it. The
only thing that I would say is that taking
it out can be a little awkward and messy.
But other than that, if you go on it just
make sure that you keep track of when to
put it in and take it out. :)
