Is it a problem if I'm getting vaginal discharge from the ring?

I'm getting vaginal discharge.

“Some vaginal discharge is normal. The extra discharge you are experiencing from using the ring is also probably normal. After a couple of cycles, this discharge may go back to normal.

Also, the ring may protect you from a bacterial infection that can occur in the vagina called bacterial vaginosis (BV).

If you’re concerned that the vaginal discharge that you’re experiencing may be caused by an infection, visit a health care provider.”

Still not working?

If it sticks around and really bothers you, think about a birth control method you don’t insert in your vagina, like the pill, patch, or shot.
