Tell me your experiences!! I know it's only 0.15 strength of oestrogen compared to 0.2 in low dose pills and 0.3/0.35 in standard combined pills so that's a bonus.

What's the bleeding like in the week free? Can you feel it in? How do you know it's in the wrong place? Can he feel it? Can it get "lost"?

I have the NuvaRing and bloody love it. I've had it this time around for nearly a year (started in Sept 2016). Previously a few years ago, when it was new on the market I had it for 6 or so months.

I actually don't take it out for my "bleed" as its not necessary (look up why we have a bleed on the pill) and prefer to just run the rings together. I change mine on the 1st of month rather than count the weeks and have been delighted so far.

also, I don't feel it at all, it can't get lost and my fiancee says although he can feel with his fingers it doesn't bother him at all during penetration.

Its amazing and I would think hard before changing to anything else!

Oh that's good! No doctors ever suggested it. I don't get on with high oestrogen content and can't find a pill with the same quantity as the ring. I'm a bit weirded out by rummaging around there and not getting it in the right place. Are they standard size or do you get fitted?!
