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 :-)
