Hi all, I tried the Nuvaring for 3+ months and there was probably only a week in there where I could not feel it. I adjusted and adjusted and adjusted! I eventually took it out because I could feel it in there and all the way down to my vulva. I then ended up getting a burning feeling when I used soap on my vaginal area and sometimes even the water just hitting it made it hurt. I finally went in for a pap smear and brought up the side effects that I was still enduring--at this point it felt like little cuts might be springing up and healing on the vulvar skin--and my doctor suggested it might be lichen sclerosus. (By this time if it was just related to the Nuvaring, it would have subsided.) Heck, I don't want to think that that's what I have because it's not curable (it's inflammatory and likely hormonal) and I'll have to keep using steroid cream topically for ever it seems. The reason why I'm pretty sure I have it is that twice daily for 10 days now it has not cleared up. My doctor wouldn't make the connection with Nuvaring but a couple of searches I've done have found the two things written up together.
