Hi, I just got the nuvaring and inserted it today. After my day was over of course I was curious as to whether it moved out of my reach because that was my biggest fear. I always wash my hand before touching myself like that. I felt to see if I could still reach it and I was satisfied that It was in and I dont feel it and I didn't "lose" it.

So i noticed on my fingers these tiny white balls. looked like sprinkles of some kinda white goo. I pulled the ring out and it was coated with this white goo. I rinsed it and reinserted. My question is if the nuvaring causes that as it releases the hormones. This is my first BC. I need the hormones more than the protection.

I havent felt any side affects like burny or itchy or anything. i feel fine so far, but there is that white stuff. Is this some normal chemical reaction that anyones noticed. Also it didn't smell. It wasnt liquidy either. at least not yet. just like speckles of white cottage cheese like balls. I never had yeast infection so i have no idea. Wouldnt i feel the least bit uncomfortable or smelly if it was yeast. Anyway. Can nuvaring cause this and is it harmless? I wouldnt have called it a discharge because if i never woulda stuck my fingers in there to check on the ring i may not have seen it.
