I am so relieved to know that I'm not turning into some crazed basket case!
I've been on nuvaring for over 2 years. In the beginning, I couldn't believe the product...it was phenomenal! Put it in, and forget about it! Also, skipping periods was never so easy! I never spotted...just inserted a new ring and went on my merry way!
Well, that all changed about a year ago. I was planning my wedding, so I chalked my moodiness and depression on this huge event (of course! makes sense, right?). Time went on, and the feelings have not dissipated. I have always been a very emotional "in tact" female...a tuff Texas girl! I've had management jobs where my even keel disposition has been key to my success. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to breakdown at work...that would be BAD...really bad.
Also, my weight has been a thorn in my side. Although, I am not a big girl (135#), I'm bigger than I'd like (used to be 125). And, what's up with the belly pooch!? NEVER in my life have I had a belly that pokes out like this! I work out 4-5 x a week and eat healthy (yes healthy, you skeptics). My breasts have blown up like the Macy's day parade which my husband is all for, but I'm, quite frankly, getting a little scared of them:)
I am taking my nuva out on Sunday, and I CANNOT wait!! I want to go back to my fun, happy-go-lucky self.
BTW!! - To you men reading these entries with a girlfriend or wife that has recently turned into a crazy loon...stay strong for your lady. My husband has been an amazing man. I know he's wanted to get in his car and run away a couple times, but he has stuck by me. And I'm about to rock his world with my new and improved sex drive (when it decides to come back).
Best of Luck and I'll see you lovely ladies on the other side!!

UPDATE: Hello to all you lovely ladies, I thought i would update you all on my sister. She now has had the Mirena out for exactly one week. She told me to tell everyone that even in the one week she can feel and see such a HUGE DIFFERENCE. The first thing was that within 24 hours her headache TOTALLY disappeared, yes thats right after having a constant headache for one year it just DISAPPEARED. Secondly she felt that she had more energy, she still felt tired but not that completely trashed feeling of not being able to get up and the aching feeling in her feet has gone also. Her bloated stomach was a bit less bloated also. She is keeping a journal as the days go on. God bless everyone suffering from this nightmare. I will keep updating you all. Oh and one more thing she stopped bleeding today after one week of removing that "Evil" WOOHOOOO !!!
