Yes that sounds like the insertion or fitting wasn't correct. Have you ever been told that you have a tilted uterus? In most women the uterus tilts slightly forward, but in some women it sits more upright or even tilted slightly backwards. These are variations on normal, which can cause the cervix to project at slightly different angles.


My friend had a lot of trouble being fitted for a diaphragm because her uterus was very tilted. I think she ended up with a specially fitted cervical cap instead. I can imagine this might affect some women using NuvaRing as well. And vice versa: Anyone having trouble with diaphragms might find NuvaRing tricky too.


I could only have my NuvaRing out for about 20min a couple times a months. Otherwise, I got breakthrough bleeding (but I'm prone to breakthrough bleeding on hormones anyway.)

Thanks for all the coil stories. Just goes to show there is not one type that suits all. I'm kind of put off the copper coil given the comments about bleeding and advice from doc, I may give the mirena a go. Someone mentioned the diaphragm too, I hadnt thought of that. Something to ponder on over Christmas, fun fun!

Thanks again :-)

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
