I have be on the nuvaring for about three months and I hold been have discharge and irritation down there. I used a monistat conducting tests kit and my ph level are normal. Could this be from the nuvaring? The discharge is similar to white and thick, not everyday, and i'm sure it's not bacterial vaginosis or any other infection. Answers: that sounds like thrush ( yeast infection) if its tacky and white like cottage cheese..and can effect itching soreness and irritation...
