Nuva Ring & Sour Taste

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

As a bit of an update from here. The update, though, is really only tangentially related to the actual question.

So, I'm T+24 hours with my first Nuva Ring, and no vomiting. This is an HBC first for me.

What I did notice, just a few minutes ago, is that my vaginal taste has changed. While it is usually... um, of a robust flavor... now it is decidedly tart or sour.

The fluid has not changed in color or consistency, nor am I experiencing any itching, buring, or pain. I'm 99.5% certain that it's not a yeast infection or infection of another kind. The key element to the change seems to be the ring.

It's not a complaint, really, since I"m not sexually active at the moment and since receiving oral sex is not a huge part of my sex life. Just wondering whether this has happened to anyone else and if so, whether it's changed over time.

Thanks!

I experienced change with my taste/smell after the ring. The smell turned from normal vagina smell for me to a sort of vinegar like smell. not overpowering, but noticable if you had your face shoved down there i'd suppose.

also the taste has become more bitter but not really tart. more... musky i guess?

Interesting.

My smell hasn't changed, at least not as far as I can tell. Just my taste.

It's a side effect that sort of makes sense aince, after all, there are a number of new substances suddenly hanging out in my vagina. I'd just never heard anyone really mention it before.

Thanks! :D
