Raging hormones symptoms and conditions

I started using the nuvaring about three weeks ago...I've experienced:
Serious emotional changes (mood swings, unexplainable crying), Nausea, Stomach Cramps, Headaches, and just today started experiencing some pretty painful leg cramps....My boyfriend mentioned that we hadn't had sex in over a week so my sex drive has decreased immensly!!! He and I both don't know how to deal with my raging hormones...I'm taking it out...thanks for your input ladies.

I am 17 and i was prescribed loestrin 24 as my first birth control pill. I've been on it for less than a week and i can't stand it and neither can my boyfriend! I have had a period from hell with has been 5 days in counting, I bleed so much i get dizzy when i stand up and my legs feel like 1000 lbs i can barely move them. Also i had diminished sex drive and raging hormones (bad acne, emotional hell) so i have decided to stop taking it. I called my gynec. and she recommended the opposite, and told me to get a blood test to check my iron levels and to see if i was pregnant! I'm almost positive i am not but not shes got me worried and i go for the blood test today. Loestrin ruined the second half of my summer but after reading all these other ladies tales i am very glad i decided to quit now. Thank you for opening my eyes, i realized it probably won't just go away in a week. I stopped it yesterday and i feel better already.
