Nipple symptoms and conditions

I'm glad to see that I am not alone with disappointing side effects from this pill. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!
When I list these side effects, do NOT interpret these lightly. This is serious, ladies. Magnify these feelings by 100 times because that's how I felt. Absolutely disgusting medicine!!!
Here are my side effects:
1. weight gain
2. increased appetite (I don't have a satisfied feeling after eating a meal).
3. insomnia
4. dry skin
5. mood swings
6. fatigue
7. vivid dreams
8. depression
9. breast tenderness
10. breast sensitivity
11. nipple hardness

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 am 19 year old male and was diagnosed with Epididymitis a couple of weeks ago. Prescribed 100mg Doxycycline HYC TB--taken twice daily for 10 days. Aside from the nausea and headaches, I have recently realized a tingling in my right calf. It has probably been feeling this way for about a week now. It feels numb and while there is no actual pain, it is quite uncomfortable
In addition, I recently developed a lump right under my right nipple. It's probably about an inch in diameter and feels as if it's a cyst.
Plus, Im not convinced my Epididymitis has totally gone away. There is still some very minor discomfort in that area.
Any similar side effects?

Hey everyone. Well I have found this blog to be pretty helpful at least to make me feel like I'm not the only one w/ these odd side effects. I have been on NuvaRing for 3 months now. I chose to do the "3 months" continuous ring and with this being the 3rd month to remove the ring, I had the WORST cramps in my life. I felt like I was having labor pains. For the most part NuvaRing has been good. I like that I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday and freak out if I forget. My main symptoms are constant discharge with some what of an odd smell, earlier this week I experienced intense breast tenderness and some discharge from my nipple(which I did freak out about, thinking I was pregnant),I noticed some dizzy spells and head aches here and there but for the most part those are gone. My boobs seem to have gotten bigger, probably half a cup size (yea).
Over all I am pleased with NuvaRing, I think I will just have to monitor my side effects to see if they are constant problem.

I am so glad someone else has had the nipple problem. My nipples are extremely sore too and my husband remembers when I started on the NuvaRing that me boobs always hurt. They also grew a cup size. Maybe they are shrinking now??

I have had the mirena in for over 9 months, since then I have gained 26 pounds !!! I weigh more now then I did when I was 9 months pregnant !! My breasts have gone from a DD to a triple D, even when I was breast feeding for 5 months they never were this big ! I go months without a period and then when I get one its horrrible cramping and the bleeding seems like its never going to go away, sex drive has gone way down & its also painful no matter what position you try !, my midwife put me on prescription diet pills to help me get my weight in control, i couldnt believe it , nothing has changed my diet and excersize are the same, also I have had major mood swings and repeated yeast infections that my doc said are from the mirena. I have mine taken out on Oct. 3rd I cant wait this thing just isnt for me !!

To all the others with the same reactions to mirena, after it was taken out did you start to loose weight ?

Ok, I was taking the pill and everyday I was gettig sick from everything. I decided to stop taking the pill. It's been a little bit over a month of not being on the pill. My boobs are really sore - not in pain but sore. It's wierd like a week and half ago it was just the nipple being sore and then the whole boob was sore. I just want the soreness to go away. I'm not even foresure whats causeing them to be sore

I have been taking advair for under a month now. I was diagnosed with cardiocondritis, (I am also asthmatic) and was prescribed prednisone for the chest pain. I did the run of prednisone, ( nasty little pills) and my chest pain eased a little. I started taking prevacid and advair at the same time and now I have this lingering pain right behind my nipple. I stopped using the advair and it's gotten alittle better, but it's still there. Has anyone gone through this? I'm 26 and I don't want to be medicated forever so any help you could give would be great cause my doctor doesn't have a clue. Another thing is I'm not even sure I have asthma, I was never tested for it and have never even had an attack. I used to smoke so I attributed my wheezing to that. Please help

Is it normal for you nipple to hurt?
