okay, so it's the second nuvaring .. insertioning and this time went better than the last time.
maybe they all have this, but i noticed that this one had a section that was slightly slimmer, and that's where i bent it. there was much less twisting of both ring and body this time around.
btw, i totally think nuvaring should have gone the silly bandz route and made them in different colors and shapes. i know i would have enjoyed sticking one of these into my hoohaa, rather than a plain plastic jelly bracelet:
dh thought that the nuvaring should be oriented horizontally, rather than vertically. i said it didn't matter, just as long as it was in and i didn't sneeze it out or whatever. apparently, dh thinks the nuvaring should be holding my hoo open like an umbrella (where it would make some kind of whistling noise whenever i walked).
so this round is going okay. i still think this whole thing feels like witchcraft. i mean, i should have been equally suspicious of the patch, but at least i put a new one on once a week. this thing just hangs out, so i feel like it should either be wearing away (which would make me question what goes on inside there) or should be made or sterner stuff like an iud (but that would lead me back to the origami folding).
