Anyone with Nuva Ring experience please help! I have just started the Nuva Ring about 1 week ago. I switched to a new form of BC because I used to be on the Marvelon pill and it caused me to be extremley moody and depressed. What appealed to me with the ring is that it is such a low dose and you do not have to worry about taking a pill everyday. I had some problems though when it comes to putting it in. I tried using my finger to insert it but it did not seem like it would go in far enough. After reading some other posts I even tried putting it in a cardboard tampon applicator and putting it in that way. This way seemed to work at first as I didn't feel it at all. However, everytime I make a Bowel Movement (Poop), it SLIPS DOWN AND POKES OUT A BIT and i have to try to push it back up. I know it says in the instructions if you strain to hard on a BM that it could come out, though I am not overly straining when I make my BM's ( normal pushing that is reqired to make a BM) and seems to keep coming out a bit. I am wondering if i have it in right, when it seems that i have put it in as far as i can push it??! Does it go higher then a tampon would go? Why does it slip? PLEASE HELP!
ps. (i have tried all the postions such as laying down even to push it up high enough)
