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 recently went on Nuva Ring around 2 weeks ago, and honestly it turned me psycho. At first I just had depression mood swings, but I didn't pay any mind because I thought my body might become more adapted to the hormonal change, but this morning I woke up and I couldn't even process any thoughts I was so depressed. It's like everything wrong in your life suddenly increases by 1,000,000. I didn't know if it was the Nuva Ring, or if I was really depressed so I talked to my mother and she told me that it may be all the hormones in the Nuva Ring. So I figured I would take it out to see if my moods got an better. Within the next hour I was feeling fine again! So let's just say NO MORE NUVA RING FOR THIS LITTLE CHICK!
I started Nuvaring only 4 days ago to regulate my cycle. I stayed in last night (a Saturday), and cried uncontrollably. My face and upper back started breaking out in cystic acne. When I got to work today I couldn't tolerate anyone and I was thinking dark thoughts. I just took it out and hope to be "normal" again by next week! Eff the Nuvaring!
I started to use the ring about 2 weeks ago and i have been crying everyday. I'll just start crying over anything. I was emotional before too but i didn't cry everyday. I don't know I dont want to jump to conclusion that its the ring because it has only been 2 weeks and my body might need to adjust to it but if I feel this way on my second month I am taking this sucker out.
* i must add that my main concern has been weight gain but i haven't notice a chance on my appetite / if anything I haven't had any.

I agree. show her the law suits. altho those just point out the stroke victims mainly. My fiance actually brought up that maybe I needed to go see a therapist because I wasn't the same as what I used to be. I actually ended up slapping him across the face when he got home from his bachelor party and then crying hysterically because I thought he was leaving me for good when his best man took him to his house for the night. One of the other guys ended up staying with me all night because he was afraid I wasn't emotionally stable to be alone. For the next week after this big blow up I cried over everything and got pissed to the point of screaming and throwing things. I was getting so mad at the person I love and care for the most. This all happened within the first month of being put on the ring. Today after having the ring out for over 24 hours I felt like I needed to research the side effects and found this website. I felt like a psychotic ***** the whole last two weeks. It was crazy. When I saw all of this I knew what the problem was and showed it to my fiance. If anything, just tell your wife my story. It honestly changes your whole perspecitve on things. Somehow him going to a strip club meant he didn't love me anymore and didn't want to marry me. I don't reccomend it to anyone!
NuvaRing literally has turned me into an unstable psycho. I'm paranoid about every move my boyfriend makes, I cry every 5 seconds for every emotion, and my life is basically a living hell and I didn't realize why. I'm taking it out right now!
