I was on the pill for about a year and decided to try a new method of BC. I went to the local clinic and got Nuvaring a little over a week ago.

Something that has been bothering me a little bit is that I saw a diagram and was told about how the ring is supposed to fit pretty far into the vagina near the cervix, and that is not how my ring fits at all. It fits so that one edge is of it is not even an inch into my vagina. I have tried to adjust it and push it back and it just returns to its normal position after a while. I can't feel it normally, but it bothers me and my partner when he tries to finger me.

My questions are:

Does this positioning in the vagina make the ring less effective?

I was told that you can take the ring out for 3 hours at a time, is that ideal to do everyday?

Thank you!
