I just started on Nuvaring a few days ago. I started on it, not for birth control but because I am going through terrible peri menopausal periods. My doctor is hoping to control the heavy periods and I will go for up to six months without one and then bleed so heavy I will almost hemorrhage. She is hoping to control this using the nuvaring. I put the ring in, and I've had a discharge. Its not thick or discolored, it is like clear water, like sweat almost, but it is smelly, I feel like I smell. I'm thinking it is the hormones smelling. Is this common? is the discharge common? Its quite irritating!!!! The darned ring doesn't want to stay up where it belongs either and I feel like its going to fall out although it hasn't as of yet so I guess it won't, even though I keep checking to see every time I go to the bathroom. LOL I don't have a big cervix, and it just doesn't "fit" I guess you could say!!!! It just floats about in there! Its not very comfortable! I can't feel it when I'm sitting but I still k now its there! I don't know if I like this!!!!

I have been on Nuvaring for a while now and I thought it was supposed to be inserted farther than it does. It does go all the way up like they say, it more or less sits just above the opening.

There is a discharge that can be associated with it. I have noticed while on it. Though I don't remember any smell other than the natural smell. Touching it too much could cause this though. My suggestion is to let it be, it won't fall out.

I would try once a week removing it and rinsing it with warm water like suggested if it falls out. That might help. You will notice when removed that it may contain some discharge around it. It is nothing to worry about.
