Pelvic pain?!?

i have been on the nuva ring for 3 months, this being the third month. so my body is pretty used to it now. but this last friday i was scheduled to take it out so i did and i started on monday like i was supposed to but i went to the bathroom to put a tampon in but when i did i got this shooting pain from around the mid pelvic area to half way up my stomich, and then about an hour after that i tryed another tampon and it was fine. and then yesturday i was talking to my sister and i sneezed and my pelvic region start to hurt again. i had a tampon in at that time. what could this be? any ideas would help?

Abdominal/pelvic pain that is similar to that of period cramping may indicate a problem in a reproductive organ (like the pain around your ovaries or uterus).

This includes conditions such as endometriosis (when tissue from the uterus is displaced to somewhere else like the pelvic wall or ovaries), uterine fibroids (thick bands of muscular and fibrous tissue in the uterus), ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer (rare), or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) infection of the reproductive organs, usually from a sexually transmitted disease.

If you have pain in your ovary area, you might have an ovarian cyst. I have experienced that same type of pain whenever I have had an ovarian cyst. I was also diagnosed with endometriosis last year which caused me severe pelvic pain and intense and painful period cramping.

Based on your symptoms and what you wrote, I would recommend that you should see your doctor/gynaecologist, just to rule out any serious causes.

Good luck :)

Possibly the tampon was placed a bit high into the vagina and bumped the cervix which can be a bit irritated by the nuva ring.
