NuvaRing, pregnant?

Sex while Nuvaring was out

I am considering using nuvaring but am very concerned about possible side effects. All birth controls I have used before have given me severe yeast infections and I am not sure nuvaring wont do the same thing. Also I am worried about whether using nuvaring will effect my future fertility and whether it will stretch me out as I have only had sex a couple times?

It is not possible to predict what side effects you will have. Have you spoken to your doctor about the yeast infections. Your blood sugar levels may be to high.

The vagina does not stretch or wear out from tampons, the ring, masturbation or sex. Something like a baby being born will stretch it, but regular exercises can return it to normal again.

Are you doing regular kegel exercises to keep the vaginal muscles toned?
