Hi
Welcome to health care magic.
Nuvaring is a hormonal contraceptive device that is worn by females in poster fornix of vagina.
If you are having problem in intercourse then you can ask your partner to avoid this contraceptive device and instead she can use copperT or other hormonal intrauterine device or oral contraceptive pills.
Optionally you can use condom for contraceptive purpose because if you are having problem with Nuvaring, then there is no purpose of wearing it for contraception.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
