I used it once, before deciding not to go with hormonal birth control. If you take a look at the instructions, it'll tell you how to insert it. It does look way bigger than should be possible to insert, I know, but it works. You squish it along the sides, and it hooks around the back of the cervix, and you don't feel it. If you have trouble positioning it, you can take it out and try again. :)

Just squeeze the sides, and slide it in as you would a tampon. It gets easier after a couple times. I was scared it would slip out, but I've only had that happen once. My hubby swears he can't feel it while we are having sex, and I forget about it being in most of the time. Email me or PM me if you have any questions. I have been using it for almost 2 years and love it.

I agree with natalunia. Nuvaring is great. You'll probably only notice the feel of it for the first day or so, and that probably means that it's not exactly in position. My friend stopped using it because she always felt it sliding out...of course she also wasn't doing any activity that would help slide it into proper place. By the way, don't freak out if you think you've "lost" it after intimacy. A few times in the beginning I thought, where the heck did it go? But it would move back into it's normal position near the cervix on it's own. Some men do report noticing that it's there, according to the literature on it (my partner is one of them), and they say it doesn't bother them.

It is a bit confusing in the beginning, but if you squeeze the sides it should go in. I used it for 2 years and never had any problems. I just stopped using it so we could get pregnant.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
