Nuva Ring, Mood Reaction
I am considering switching from the pill to Nuva Ring, however much of the research I have been doing on nuva ring has turned up mixed reactions. While I understand that this is true for any medication, I still have questions I can't find the answers to. My biggest concern is the effect of nuva ring on emotional stability. Of course, the company's website warns that mood swings are a possible side effect (I think that is a side effect for any form of hormonal birth control). What I would like to know is whether the nuva ring is more likely to cause negative emotional side effects than the pill is. I have heard mixed reviews, some people emotionally crash on it and others notice nothing; is this just something I am going to have to buckle down and test for a month? If so, how do I monitor my own side effects to decide if it is having a negative effect on me?
I do not recommend Nuvaring. I am a very level headed person, but this made me very unstable over the littlest things. My friends even noticed it. I felt like I was a caged animal. I have been off of it since Dec, 31 (it is now Jan 21). I feel like a new person. (or the one that I use to be). Now on the other hand, I am having pregancy syptoms. ie Sore breast, light headed, need to pee a lot. I had Novasure done about a year go, but still have very light periods. I took a test, which came back negitive. My period is not due until the 28th. I will take another one then. Does anyone know anyone who got pregant after Novasure?
I started the nuva ring around 3 months ago. I'm a super nice, easy going person but recently I began to hate everyone, especially my mom (probably becuase she was triggering my emotions). Things would just annoy me soo much i would just snap and I would just rant to my twin. She noticed and stopped talking or would walk away. I didnt even notice. I just got more and more aggitated. Then she said it might be my birth control, I took it out and I was chipper again maybe after a day. So Don't start the ring. Try something else.
I am 20 yrs old and currently wanting badly to get off Nuvaring... i thought since I couldn't remember to take a pill everyday this would be a good move, but I've admittedly turned into a complete ***** when it comes to my boyfriend. I stay angry, every little thing he does irritates me, and although I'm so in love and attracted to him I don't want to have sex with him anymore what-so-ever. There are also a few lawsuits against Nuvaring at the moment and they are trying to recall it- just say NO!
I have being married to wife for many years now and like any marriage we had our ups and downs but the last six months it has being hell for all of us. I know I make mistakes but everything I do to resolve problem does not seem to work for too long or not at all. I have been banging my head to figure out why my wife is constantly mad at me and kids. I really glad I found this site but now my challenge is to find a way to make her believe the Nuva Ring is causing her moods swing. Can anybody suggest a manner in which I can get her to read your comments or to believe me in a manner which won’t set her off?
Hey everyone, I am so excited that I 'happened' upon this web site. I say happend because I typed in something regarding nuva ring and my sex drive, and here I am. Anyhow, I have been inserting the nuva ring for about 3 years. About a year ago, I really took notice of the emotional unstableness I started to experience during the 2nd week of having it inserted. I visited my GYN and she just prescribed depression medicine and sent me on my way. Well I knew that I wasn't feeling 'depressed' any other time than the second week of the nuva ring being in me. Well, needless to say, I flushed the depression medication and I guess because I knew when to expect the emotional destress and I felt like I knew what caused it, I could control my mood swings a little better. I'm really flabbergasted, (yes I said flabbergasted) that I ran across this page because I doubted myself here and there, but now I know to leave the nuva ring alone! Thanks to all the ladies who shared because you all helped me to know just what is really going on. I love my man and I think he was starting suspect that he didn't have the right tool..If you know what I mean!
