My cramps can be pretty bad, pamprin or tylenol don't help either. Usually I just have to lie down and use a heating pad. Doctors say there it's not harmful to not menstruate. I would like to be back on depo, but the doc doesn't want me on it. My nuvaring doesn't always stay put like it should. I guess I'm smaller, and it kinda doesn't go as far up as it should. So, I have to push it back in a lot, otherwise it starts falling out. The doctor said she noticed that when she first put it in me, and she said my vagina is just shorter.
