I have been on nuva ring for 3 months and it is causing infections. i want to go to iud, should i stop nuva ring and wait for period to get iud?

Depends: What type of infections? If it's bacterial vaginosis or yeast vaginitis, it may still be unrelated. If it's an std, an iud would be a poor choice since this can increase your risks of pid. Talk to your gyn regarding which type of infections you have & the best contraceptive for you. This should be an easy fix. You can stop the ring & use condoms until your appointment.

MAYBE: Yask your physician. Some people put in the Mirena (levonorgestrel) during you perid. Some might just remove the NuvaRing and insert the mirena (levonorgestrel).
