Vaginal discharge from Nuva Ring?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been on Nuva Ring since 2/26/13, so it's been less than a week. I know that increased vaginal discharge is a side effect of it, but when I googled it most women who commented on it said it started after months of use. It started for me after a couple of days. I just wanted to know what other's experiences were with Nuva Ring and this side effect. Also, are cramps a side effect? I've been having moderate cramping since I started Nuva Ring.

Check with your doc. It could be in wrong, could be wrong size, could be a reaction to the material used in the product, could be causing an infection. Those last 2 could be serious, so definitely do check with the doc.

Well a side effect is increased discharge and its normal discharge just more of it.

I noticed an increase for the first couple months. It makes sense, as your vagina is made to be a self-cleaning device, and it's hosting a foreign object.

As for the cramping, I've had issues with that any time I've switched birth control methods, even between different pills. It could also be that you haven't figured out the perfect placement for your body yet and it's putting pressure on your cervix. For me, I have to make sure the top of the ring sits behind my cervix or the pressure really bothers me.
