I'm getting sqeamish just thinking about it.

I am a person that has a difficult time with doing anything to my body that requires me to put something in it/or take something out of it. This includes earrings (this is why my ears aren't pierced), removing a splinter with a hot needle, etc.
Well-- on Sunday I start the NuvaRing.
I have been BC free for 4 weeks, and this is a new type for me. I've always only been on the pill, but I can't take it any more because my hormones have changed.

I am getting squeamish knowing I will have to insert a ring inside of me, and leave it in there just hanging out for 3 weeks, and then take it out again.
I was reading the instructions yesterday and just about fainted looking at the pictures of the insertion.

Yes, I'm weird like that. Huh?

    The initial insertion is the worst! But honestly you completely forget about it after an hour or so and then when taking out its not terrible. It's just a weird thing to do but it's soooooo much easier than BCP.

    You just pulled poo from your son's behind. NuvaRing will be nothing compared to that. Big Smile

    See-- with a tampon, there is at least a string to tug on for removal which I am okay with.
    This ring removal of going up and searching for it freaks me out.
    But, I need to be brave. There's no other way around it.

    misjenn- Thanks for the info. I will just take a deep breath, try not to think about it too hard, and get it over with.
    Like you said-- it's way easier than BC pills.
