Nuva Ring

Hey ladies!

So I used to be on the pill but hated having to remember to take it every day. Then I was gonna get an IUD but my gynecologist wasn't able to insert it. (cervix was too tight even after being given softening medication twice)

So after that he recommended I try nuva ring. He said a lot of women love it never have any problems or complaints with it.

I'm just curious about both good and bad experiences. I've read a lot of bad ones on here but I wanna try to know the full extent of it all before starting.

Also, when do I put it in? I'm supposed to get my period around sept 3-4 but I'm gonna be on a cruise so I was wondering if I put it in a week before that will it stop my period? Or will I still get my period?

Thanks!!
