Hey, I just went for my annual and after much discussion, got a prescription for the ring!! Yesssss I am very excited about this. Goodbye, lint-bordered, itchy, nausea-inducing patch (in 2 weeks).
Most of all I am super glad that it's lower dosage, because my emotions and moods have been absolute hell lately (see all of my recent threads, sheesh) and I am looking at any cause as a contributing factor... including my BC.
Also, I don't know if it was mentioned in this thread, but the nurse told me it was fine to take it out for sex for up to three hours in
any 24 hour time period. I suppose the ideal thing would be to take it out only for insertion and thrusting, assuming you don't do that for 3 hours.
But this was good news for me, in case it doesn't feel good for either of us during sex.
