I first inserted the NuvaRing 22 days ago.
I removed it the 21st day like my Dr. and
the paperwork said to. I haven't started
my period yet, but I'm not worried... the
papers say it should start in 2-3 days.
As for side effects... I have been moody,
but nothing I can't handle. I think it's
just something I'm going to have to learn
to deal with being on any type of birth
control, since NuvaRing let's out a lower
dose of hormones supposedly.
It's very convenient - I'm glad I don't
have to take a pill every day. My husband
can not feel the ring inside me when we
have intercourse, which was surprising
because he could feel it when he
"fingered" me.
The one complaint I have now, 23 days in,
is that I haven't stopped bleeding. I
inserted it on the first day of my period,
and had a normal cycle, but the bleeding
then got light and I've had to change a
liner every 3 hours for 2 weeks. Just
called my doctor and she says it's normal,
just like with the Pill. The light
bleeding/spotting could last 2 months. I
hope this helps some of you new users like
me out there.
