Is Nuvaring Advisable In A Diabetic Person?

Hi. I m 21 years old. I ve been a type 1 diabetic for 11 years. I ve been on the Nuvaring for a week now with no complications. I m just curious if it is alright for me to use the Nuvaring since I am a diabetic? Should I have any concerns? Also I ve had a lot of abdominal/pelvic pain. Is that normal? My boyfriend and I had sex today and he ejaculated inside of me. If I want to stop using the Nuvaring, when will be a good time? I don t want to be pregnant, but this whole thing is scary/painful. Thank you.

Hello Welcome to healthcare magic forum!

Thanks for the Query,
Contraceptive measures are good to avoid unplanned pregnancies but it should'nt cause disturbances in your physical or sexual health.

You should not use the NuvaRing vaginal ring if you have:

untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure;
heart disease (coronary artery disease; uncontrolled heart valve disorder; history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot);
a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems;
problems with your eyes, kidneys or circulation caused by diabetes.

The NuvaRing vaginal ring will not prevent pregnancy if you wear it only during intercourse. You must wear the ring around-the-clock for 3 full weeks (21 days).

As you said its painful, i Recommend you visit your doctor and get to know your safe period and enjoy sex without harming your health and developing complications from contraceptive measures and even avoid unwanted pregancies.

Hope this helps! Please visit your gynaecologist.

Wishing you good health
