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

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.
