it hurts ALOT
You should start using your ring for the first time after your period has stopped. Then begin using your timer to remove on the correct day and replace 7 days later. If used properly you should never have any problems. I was on the ring for 6 + years and had sex as soon as the same day I put it in and never had a question about pregnancy. I fully trust the ring as my method of BC.
You mean you can not keep your boyfriend erect, mine stays hard all the time... ...but when we first started dating, I was not on birth control, and condoms were uncomfortable for both of us. When I got on the NuvaRing, he started losing his erection. The problem was that he did not trust the NuvaRing until I got my period after the first month. Once I got it, then got off it (my period, not the NuvaRing), things were great. Maybe he's anxious about trying to impress you, or he's afraid of getting your pregnant.
Not a problem...just use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days of that cycle.
Not necessarily. You can start your first ring with or without your period. If you start without your period, you should use a backup method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days. After that first month, you should put in the NuvaRing right on schedule, whether you're bleeding or not. For a large proportion of Nuva Ring users, that means inserting the next month's ring while you're still bleeding. It's not unusual to have breakthrough bleeding during the first few months of use.
