3 weeks on the ring!

Just wanted to share my experiences and ask a couple of questions.

Inserting: it attempted to fly out of my hand. Got it under control and it went in just fine. Didn't feel like it was in far enough so I used a ... toy... to help it along a little. :)
Week One: Couldn't feel a thing. Boyfriend checked it out -- Pulled it out to look at it, thought it was cool.
Week Two: Still can't feel anything. Sex without condoms for the first time. Definitely different. The g-spot stimulation is a bonus!
Week Three: Everything seems to be fine. Took it out tonight on schedule. Found it a little amusing that it had gone from it's round shape to a more elliptical one from being inside me.
Now I'm waiting to see how long it takes for my period to come and how it behaves this first month.

So far all I have to say about the ring is YAY! :)

Questions: When I took it out, there was a ... longish white stringy organic substance wrapped around one end and it came out with the ring. My theory's on what this was include everything from semen from last night to odd discharge to something caused by the ring. Any ideas? Second and Third questions has more to do with sex itself. We seem to be suffering from wet spot syndrome and I was wondering how most people deal with the leaky feeling after their SO comes. I instantly want to jump up and run into the bathroom to clean up, which... I'm not happy about for other reasons. Lastly, I seem to have a slight burning feeling after sex. Don't know if this is caused by his semen or something with the ring. It's not too uncomfortable but it seems to be only located around the opening to my vagina. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

keep tissues by the bed. or better yet, some of these. (http://www.goodvibes.com/cgi-bin/sgin0102.exe?FNM=67&T1=3+3+GJ+0206&UID=2003102919533072&UREQA=5&UREQB=4&UREQC=3&TRAN85=N)

this could be caused by Ph differences between you and his semen.

I have some of these (http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jhtml?PRODID=385675&CATID=100481)... but I keep them in my bathroom (they work great for period cleanup). Maybe I'll invest in another box or two. I tried using toilet paper but it was a little awkward :)
