Common Questions and Answers about Nuvaring and tampon use

nuvaring

Avatar f tn Today is day 34 (5 days after removing the nuvaring) and am still flowing heavy and am finally able to use a tampon. I also was cramping badly after trying to insert the tampon. I would say it's related to the nuvaring and would mention it to your doctor. They may want you to come early to be checked out.
Avatar f tn I use Nuvaring...and my concern was it getting "lost" in there. my doc told me there is no way it can get lost.So i would think a tampon wouldnt be any different. Make sure it isnt in there you should be able to feel it.
Avatar f tn s in the army), and every time we had sex we had to remove the Nuvaring (it bothers me during sex) and he would ejaculate inside of me. I had to take my ring out the 17th of April, which is the day he left, and I didn't receive my period until the 21st of April. When I got my period, it was incredibly light. Half the time I didn't even need to wear a tampon or a pad, and it lasted for about 3-4 days.

889551 tn?1416184483 Lexi is nine months old now, and I quit birth control three or four months ago because I tried the NuvaRing and hated it (my cervix was really low when I put it in, and it made it uncomfortable). This month I had spotting at ovulation, and I didn't think anything of it until DH told me that the condom had broke two days before the spotting started. At 8 dpo I started spotting and have been spotting brown and red ever since.

I need help in knowing why i cant use a tampon?????
Avatar f tn However, when I got ready to change my tampon, something fell out of my vagina! It looked like a piece of skin about the size of my palm and it was covered in dark dark blood, nearly black. I went to the ER and they didn't know what it was so they sent it off to a pathologist to be tested. Dr ruled out miscarriage. I'm still having light spotting which I assume is due to my period however I normally bleed heavy during menstruation.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, I had been planning on starting the nuvaring this cycle on the first day of my period. Can I still use the nuvaring even though it is passed the first day of my cycle?
Avatar f tn Its a small flexible ring, you or your doctor insert it sort of like a tampon (but with your fingers) and it stays in place 3 weeks. It lessened my acne, I never gained weight, I had no hormonal issues with it. I hate pills, I can't remember to take them and they always made me gain weight. But the nuva ring is expensive if you don't have insurance! It's over 100 $ a month.
Avatar f tn It wont Wrk. All the medicine n the nuvaring has already came out. Its ineffective! !!!
1580452 tn?1296439703 I've had absolutely horrible menstrual cramps for the past several years, to the point that my doctor prescribed percocet for me to take for every period (I can't take NSAIDs like Aleve, Motrin, etc.). I got a Mirena IUD to see if that would help (it didn't, but I still have the IUD) and have been using Nuvaring for almost two months.
Avatar f tn Have your partner use a condom as yeast can go back and forth. Douse a tampon in tree tea oil and insert. Take a salt bath. And keep regularly taking the probiotics. And if it continues, you need to look into things like having a weakened immune system. Take a good multi vitamin daily. And the other thing to look into is diabetes if this chronic condition continues. Let me know what you think.
1134902 tn?1296066144 I am now on day 3 of no nuvaring and I am cramping bleeding large blood clots and I cant find any info about what to expect after the removal and stopping the use of nuvaring
Avatar m tn You started Nuvaring, it can take a few days for your period to start especially when your on yo ur first mornth of Nuvaring. It takes 3 months for your body to regulate hormones. Now if you had unprotected sex within the first week of being on nuvaring (if you hadn't been on another birth control method before) then it's possible to get pregnant. I was on Nuvaring for 3 months and had no issues with it.
Avatar f tn My choice was between the IUD and nuvaring.

Avatar f tn YES! It can cause diabetes! It is listed as glucose intolerance in the side effects. I went though 8 months of #@!& on nuvaring. I went to the doc because I wad exhausted all of the time, fuzzy brained, and starting to loose my hair. When I asked if it could be the birth control, my question was dismissed. They tried to put me on all of this medication for slightly elevated blood sugar. I refused. I decided to go off the nuvaring, which I was on only for acne.
Avatar f tn i miscarried at 8 weeks with blighted ovum and after that devestation i used nuvaring again and this time faithfully.......i took out my nuvaring and didnt think much of it until the next day when i started throwing up everywhere! i bought a test for the hell of it and it said PREGNANT! i was in complete shock because i had been on the nuvaring for a while! i used at end of JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER and found out i was pregnant in october!!!
Avatar f tn I was on the NuvaRing for 3 months straight and used it to skip my cycle. After the 3rd or 4th week I would take it out & put in a new ring. While doing this I still bled either light or really heavy. I stopped using the NuvaRing the week before Thanksgiving. My husband & I started trying to make a baby soon after taking the ring out. I have not had a cycle since i’ve taken the NuvaRing out and it’s going on a month now.
7094011 tn?1405455886 Ok! I figured they would be easy to take vaginally. You could probably use a plastic tampon insert to put the pill in to insert them vaginally!
Avatar f tn I think it should be fine in the resealable foil bag. Put it back in that and you should be good.
Avatar f tn Ok, but if I failed to use a back up method should I consider emergency contraception?
Avatar n tn Many people have experienced pains and light bleeding while having intercourse and using nuvaring. It seems to affect everyone differently, but it's very likely the nuvaring is the source of your problems. I would suggest trying a different form of birth control, as this one is obviously not for you.
