"i started using the nuvaring approximately one month before my wedding day and never used any kind of hormonal birth control before. that was a mistake. i thought it&#039;d would be easier than trying to remember when to take a pill- and it was, except, that on my wedding night, i was experienced great discomfort, which i thought was due to lack of experience? dryness and pain. not fun at all. my newlywed husband and i didn&#039;t think of it, until after the three weeks, and then the one week of not having the nuvaring in. one week later, put a new ring in, and then started having serious pee issues- pain and burning, moodiness like all get-out, headaches. so five days later, took the ring out, and had another period! am going to try the femcap (2nd generation)."
