Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
I would suggest you meet a gynecologist urgently who can examine the area and have a good look at it to remove the ring. Meanwhile, if there is a delay in the appointment, get an x ray/usg of the pelvis. These may help the gynecologist know where the ring may have got displaced. That way she may be able to help you quicker.
Slipping/displacement of the ring is a common phenomenon. And so you need not worry too much. Just meet the experts and they can help you
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
