Nuvaring feels like it is sticking out?
109998
Funny....I have been on the Nuvaring for 4 weeks now and just yesterday decided to take it out and try a different contraceptive.\n\nI had the same problem.  I could feel mine also.  My Dr told me to take a tampon applicator and push the ring up with that.  I tried that and it didnt work.  I tried pushing it up as far as I could with my own finger and still didnt work.  My husband and I had sex and when we finished it came out with him!  He said he felt like the game at the carnival with the pop bottle and the rings!  LOL  sorry had to throw that in....was too funny.\n\nAnyways, I also started to get other side effects.  Such as:\n\n*piercing headaches that Advil couldnt take away\n*sudden chills\n*emotional rollercoaster (like deppression)\n*pregnancy symptoms\n*nauseau\n*low low sex drive (which is unusual for me)\n*sharp chest pains\n\nIt was really really weried, because some of these side effects came at different times and I never put two and two together until I got on the intertnet and I started to research more on the Nuvaring.\n\nI found a helpful site where other ladies who have or who are using the ring have sent in messages to a message board.  \n\nOh yeah, and it also kept feeling like a baby kicking in my lower stomach area.  I also found out that it is another side effect.  Its called "foreign body sensation".  Weried, eh?  \n\nI was bummed because I really wanted the Nuvaring to work for me.\n\nI also read that if the ring keeps falling out and you can physical feel it when you wipe than you might have a prolapsed (drooped) uterus.  And they say you may have to try a different form of b.c.\n\nWell, good luck!

Usually, your breasts feel hard. You becomea little bit moody. You might also experience stomach cramps. Pimples also begin to show. Having a menstruation is a bit uneasy. Anyway, just wear a suitable sanitary napkin. It's part of being a lady~! ^^

Hi, Registered Nurse here; Take a deep breath, this is obviously causing you considerable unrest.  Okay, let me see here if I understand correctly first off all. You don't like to be touched in the genital area when on your menstrual cycle?  If this is correct, it's not uncommon, and I'm not at all sure you have a problem.  However, you have communicated that you have thought about it and it's true.  So, I think I'm missing something here, so I'm going to try and feel in the blanks, and if I'm wrong please forgive me.  Speculating here, that your referring to your sexually partner touching you in that area when menstruating, so if you wear a tampon, you feel you would be more comfortable.  Well dear with a tampon, you should not have sexual intercourse when one is in place, and for foreplay, well that isn't really advised wither with a tampon in place.  I don't think there is anything stupid about your question.  I have a tendency to believe someone is putting pressure on you, to do things your not comfortable with while on your menstrual cycle.  I think it safe to ask this person to just back off.  Lots of females, prefer not to be sexually active during this time of the month, others do, it's a individual preference.  Thanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

nuvaring was great except that it turned me into a raving lunatic!  i was so excited about the convenience but it got my hormones all out of whack and made me irrationally emotional and especially turned me into scary angry woman.  however, i've known women who use it and love it so i think you'd have to try it to find out if it works for you.  i've also had at least one friend who said it fell out at times, but that wasn't the case with me.

Try the nuvaring instead... the patch is getting a lot of bad press these days as they are seeing women with clotting problems and other issues. I noticed that I had mood issues with the patch too... Here is a link for the ring. http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/index.asp?guid={D5FFD642-E3C3-4711-A054-8F8294457DDC}&sid=962072213

I would call your OB/GYN or family doctor.  I just had one inserted on Tuesday and I'm bleeding heavily with clots.  Kinda scary.  I hope your o.k. but the only way you will know is if you call someone who specializes in this area!

I assume you are talking about a urinary catheter (there are many types of catheters).  While it is in, there will be a feeling of pressure until you adjust to it.  It doesn't hurt...just annoying.  Removing it is not a problem at all.  It doesn't hurt...the nurse will deflate the balloon that holds it in place and then just gently pull on the catheter...it slips right out...you feel it slide out but there is no pain or discomfort involved.  For a few hours after it is removed, you will have the feeling that you have to "go".\n\nMOdification:\nIf you are not talking about a urinary catheter, feel free to email me and I will describe whichever type you were talking about.

It's natural. She's ovulating or it's before her period. I get it all the time. It's annoying, but my husband loves it. :-)

I too used to have a "normal cycle". it went from 28 days to 21 days to every 20 days and lasted for 8-10 days. I was at the gyn every two weeks. i finally started hormonal treatment (nuvaring) two months ago. 1st month was awful-bleeding everyday, 2nd month looks promising. The only possibly explanation that made sense to me was that my eggs were dropping more frequently. It is still not 100%. Go to the gyn and dont let them dismiss your concerns.

Maybe you are not lubricated enough when you had the intercoure and this caused tension on your outer privates. Have you given birth already through natural delivery? This can also post as a problem since the insertion could be a little rough on the sewn up part. Hope this helped :-)

That happens to me too I'm not on ortho but different kind of pill and you I realized that i only get breast tenderness before during and after my period (it's like 4days before 2 days after) I guess it's the pill . But if you still feel unsure just call your Dr.

MAYBE IT'S THE TYPE OF BIRTH CONTROL YOU ARE USING.  TELL YOUR DOCTOR TO SWITCH IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

I have tried the Nuva ring. I was on it for over a year. It was better for me because I put it in and it was nice to know that I wouldn't have to worry about it for 3 weeks til I took it out to have my period.I loved it. It's easy to put in. It never came out. Never!!! not even during sex or sitting on the toilet or anything. It even shortened my periods from 5days to about 3days. It is low level hormones. I would go back on it in a heartbeat but I changed jobs and my new insurance doesn't cover it and at like $40 a pop I decided to go back to the pill which my insurance does cover.

i felt like that  the first little while but thats very common with any kind of birth control... it can last up to three months... if longer you should  discuss a different kind of birth control more suited for you\n\ntina\nnurse

That is exactly how I felt a few months ago when I first realized something was "wrong"; I was pregnant. I thought the cramps were menstrual cramps, but it was something else. Then, the tingling in the boobs changed to extreme soreness... horrible! Congrats if this is what you want... sorry if it is not. :o)

My wife tried the "NuvaRing" and stopped taking it because she was feeling bloated and sick to her stomach.  She also felt like it was making her gain a little bit of weight.  She didn't like it, that's all I know.
