I have been on the nuvaring for 1 year now. Over the past 4 months, I have been getting what feels like a UTI, blood in urine and increased white blood cell count (per urine tests), but doctor's say it is not a UTI. I thought it could be the nuvaring, so I took it out 8 days ago, but the pain with urination has not gone away. Has anyone had a similar experience?
