"i was on nuva ring for over 8 years.  i have horrendous periods, so my ob told me to insert every four weeks and skip all but 1-2 periods a year.

it worked great as far as birth control and controlled periods so i didn&#039;t have any.  i couldn&#039;t feel it once i got it in right, and really didn&#039;t have a whole lot of other problems.

the only reason i am switching is because the ring can cause cervical erosion, especially if you have very sensitive skin.  this results in pain and bleeding during intercourse.  it&#039;s a relatively easy fix, they cauterize the touchy spots, but still very awkward.  i am now switching back to the pill to see if i can find something that isn&#039;t so hard on that tissue."
