Mons symptoms and conditions

12 years ago i had my son and was perscriped Otho, until 4-5 months ago my dr. switched me to Femcon FE. i noticed heavier periods but waited to see if i would adjust. 24 hours ago i was rushed to the ER w/ small potato size clots and a possible discussion of a transfusion. i am not writing to say everyone stop taking this but this was my experience and it wasn't a very good one. i am switch back to ortho, now that i have been hospitalized, anemic, and almost died..

I'm sooooo glad I found this b/c I have gained 22lbs. since I had this thing put in. I have three children and never had a problem losing weight after my others.And now i tried everything diets,exercising not eat and still cant loose the weight. ( By the way I had it put in 2 months after i had my last child.)
When I went to have it put in I had Already lost all but 5 lbs. of my baby weight and now after I read all of this I see what my problem is Im going in 3 days to have this thing removed I can't take this anymore. I've already been to the dr. to check my thyroid and it was fine. I'll let you know what happens post mirena.

Where should I begin? Yes, as it has been said everyone reacts to hormones/medications differently but how is it that I am finding all my symptoms on this board and there's plenty of other women out there feeling the same thing? I am driving my friends/family insane telling them that I think I'm pregnant. It's been nearly 3 months. since I last had intercourse, I haven't missed a period and have had TWO pregnancy tests come out negative! I started Nuvaring the 2nd of July (1st day of my period) and pulled it out by the 13th because I was literally SICK of it! Three days later I started my period again, horrible cramps and all. I had hot flashes throughout the day and night sweats in my sleep. I have felt bloated constantly, today I just noticed a tiny amount of clear discharge from my nipple when I squeezed it, horrible headaches that don't go away, nausea. Anything you would link to pregnancy symptoms, I've felt all of it! And my friends are sick of hearing me think I am, hell! I'm sick of thinking it. But as I've read on here, it seems even weeks after the Nuvaring has been removed women are still feeling out of whack. My only other option is to take blood test to confirm that I'm going insane and that this birth control really threw my hormones off balance. Oh yeah, and did I mention I've been suicidal lately? And have random bouts of crying or depression? This is just the beginning...so if anyone out there has thought they're pregnant because of this thing, you're probably not, but please let me know if you've felt the same, thanks!

I have severe numbness and tingling in fingers to the point of problems sleeping due to the discomfort. Also have pain and popping in both thumbs only. I heard from a friend that her brother had same symptoms with Pravachol, which is what I take. She said his doctor diagnosed osteoarthritis and thought it might be connected to Pravachol use. Anyone else know any connection or have similar symptom?
