im going to start this tonight for the first time and im just wondering about "putting" it in.

it just looks really BIG.

anyone know if it has to go in a certain way, can i put it in sideways ??

thanks.

and sorry if it grosses anyone out but i put warning on the topic!!!

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.
