Nuvaring questions...

[katarokkar.livejournal.com]

So, since some of you suggested I look into the Nuvaring because I was scared of hormonal side effects, I did, but now I have a few questions (sorry if some are a bit dumb)...

The things I've read say that you can't feel it in there during intercourse. Why is that? It seems from diagrams to just be lying in your vaginal canal and could be felt by a man's penis. Is there something about the positioning that I'm missing?
What have been your experiences with this? Has your partner felt it?
Is it possible that it could fall out or be dislodged during intercourse?

Could you still use a diaphram with it, or would there not be enough "space" to do that?

Has anyone had experiences where you've stopped having side effects (especially weight gain and mood swings) because you've switched to Nuvaring from other contraceptives?

Does it interfere with your period at all like the pill? I mean, does it cause shorter periods etc?

Also...unrelated, but can I just say that I love this community? All you womyn are so sex/vagina positive and open minded. I'm glad I got to hear this view. Because of this community and the womyn in it, I just ordered the DivaCup and some Lunapads. I would never have known about them if it weren't for all of you...thank you!
