Loosely symptoms and conditions

Update on ring removal...I took my ring out July 13 after reading everyones side effects on here and realizing the horrible way I'd been feeling was because of the ring. The first week after it was out was not so pleasant my period started the next day with horrible cramping, it only lasted 2 days though and was totally worth it. The mood swings and irratability lasted for about a week after it was out and was pretty severe. After getting past that though Ive felt fantastic, my energy is back, Im sleeping through the night, no more discharge, not a single headache in 3 weeks. The biggest change though has been my mood, I feel like my old self again, no more crying and psycho irrational thoughts. I will NEVER use the NR again, looking back on the whole expeirence I felt like I was poisoned by it mentally and physically. I urge everyone to tell any women you know about this site if they are on NR, it really pisses me off this BC is being marketed as "safe", from my own experience and others Ive read about it's anything but. If you look at all the law suits being filed against NR, and past meds like vioxx, phen phen, and the countless others that are marketed as "safe" and approved by the FDA, it is apparent that "safe" is used loosely in an attempt to generate profits and dollars, even if it means putting peoples lives and in NR's case also mental health in jeapordy. You should decide for yourself of course if your going to quit using NR but from my own experience taking it out was the best thing Ive ever done for my own health and safety.

I am also glad I found this site! I really have felt that I was going crazy, but when I read through many of the posts, I have realized that Yasmin is slowly destroying my body, mind and life. Yes, maybe all of my problems aren't 100% from this pill, but when I think back, I used to be so much happier. Now, I'm depressed, antisocial and anxious much of the time, plus have a host of physical problems (see posts below) which have appeared in the last couple years. I have had problems with BCPs in the past with depression, but the only physical effect I'd ever had with those was weight gain. Normally, I'm a very healthy individual. It has all come on slowly and has gotten worse with time. For a long time, I had no side-effects, so didn't attribute any of it to this pill. It was only after finding this site, after a particularly bad day of dealing with unexplained nausea, that I see what it has been doing to me... I hope we all heal eventually! I do have lots of hope and am looking forward to the day when this is all behind me. Maybe this is premature, but I've only been off it two days (quit mid-pack) and already feel much more awake, and my pants, which have been tight for months, are fitting loosely! This pill is scary...
