Two girls symptoms and conditions

I started using NuvaRing last year in June. I have two girls age 5 and 3. I am 34 years old and dont want any children. The NuvaRing is actually my first time using birth control. My period was normal and no weight gain. But I notice that I am very moody, tired and very forgetful. I would black out for 5 seconds. My sex drive is normal. I should remove the ring this friday but starting last week I started to have brown spotting and feeling cramps. I am still cramping and spotting but not bleeding. Does anyone know what is wrong? I called the doctors office and they said I maybe going under a lot of stress and probably due to my age. I started my new job and I am under alot of stress. I work full-time and I take care of my kids after work. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Hi everyone this is update from me getting the Mirena removed three weeks ago well it was painless getting it out.And I spotted for 4days and now no more bleeding and WOW! do I feel like myself again I'm not tired and hungry like I use to be, I mean I still haven't lost weight but not eating as much and I've went down a pant size but I will have to exerciser to lose the weight. But still looking for another birth control cause I'm not planning on have anymore kids for now, I already have two girls. I've thought about Paragard but not sure does anyone suggest anything?

Those of you that has experienced weight gain....do you think its because the Zoloft as increased your appetite? I can handel being tired and going to the bathroom all day... but I would be in worse shape if I gained weight....what else is more depressing!! My husband started Zoloft a few weeks ago for anxiet, and his main complaint is exhaustion. My OBGYN gave it to me for severe PMS.

Best of luck to everyone here....

two girls mom...I have the same thing, except mine only happens when I wake up first thing in the morning. do you have it other times during the day too and did you have it before going on the effexor? I'm not on any medication, just a small .25mg of clonazepam every night...my doctor said it could be that my hormones are extra sensitive to my body's "wake up chemicals"...also has anyone noticed that after going off yasmin your sleep cycle is different? I wake up every morning now between 7 and 8 am...I'm a college student and used to sleep till 11 or 12 on the weekends.

Dear flower babies.
i have only onepiece of advice GET OFF THIS POISON NOW before it kills you. i wsa going through everything you have said and more and it got worse and worse. I was on ysamin for 3 years only experiencing like you did after a while not straight away. I have been off yasmin now since nov 05 and its been a low haul and many times i just wanted to lay down and die and yet i came back to this site each and very day and got encouragement from those around here who had been there. Get off now and start regaining your life again. I would get on a good mulitvitamin immediately and some magnesium to help rebuild all htat has been deplete. Its not going to be easy but start now and in time you will be able to cope with your children again i know i have 3 and it was so hard in the beginning and now its getting better even though i still have those bad days but more good than bad.

Chrissy are u ok have not read any post from you for so long.

Hi Two Girls Mom what are brain zaps? Towards the end of being on it, I would be talking and mid sentence I would completely forget what I was talking about. Just wondering if that's the same thing?

To all of the other ladies out there, if you gained weight, how long did it take to lose it? I gained about 30 lbs in 3 months. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Just wondering if I'm going to now be fat forever or if it will go away. I'm doing Yoga 3 hrs. a week and running or walking 2-3 times.

Thanks,
Hill

Dear two girls mom,

just a thought has effexor got any side effects, just that my girlfriend was on it and got a little ill and i certainly do not want you to go through any unnecessary pain

Lisa

Silke, Chrissy and all
Thought i would give a little update. Month 5 things going ok, although this month on day 15 of cycle i have had bad palps and severe bloating but for the first time since going off yasmin i have got an appetite back and have not lost it while i have had my period. Still get symptoms but again not as bad a before and fears are getting less. Blood pressure was 140/90 last night when i had checked as i had chest infection and considering it was taken after no sleep for a day, i had been on the rush all day and felt tlike hell i guess it read ok just wondering how long it will take to hit the 80 point again, any feedback from high blood pressure would be good, eg how long it took and what your readings are, Im hoping its on the way down as last time i had it taken in a relaxed state it was 150/100 so fingers crossed that maybe its finally coming down, hope SILKE AND CHRISSY AND SHERRY are going well and TWO GIRLS MOM how are you???? Hows the blood pressure. Blurred vision is still there SILKE how long till yours evaded.

thanks for the read girls
take care

Hi Two Girls Mom,
Thanks for your response. My cold is actually a lot better and the constant numbing/pain has pretty much stopped. I still have it on and off, but not straight through for weeks like I used to. I took the one dose of Benadryl and didn't take any more. I found that if I breathed into a paper bag, it caused no anxiety whatsoever. (Once I got the numbing I felt so paranoid I would get the anxiety I used the bag). I didn't get it but still I guess at this point I want to be prepared just in case...
I'm still having the weird pulsing in my ear on and off, not quite as constant as I did on the Yasmin, I'm just assuming that it is still Yasmin related.
To be honest with you although I have a cold, this has been the best I have felt in a long time. I have so much energy, and can actually sleep about 8 hrs. a night, granite I'm still up at 6 am, but I've always been like that.
As for the anxiety, I really haven't experienced a full attack in about 2 weeks. I haven't felt anxious, (not that I did on the pill it just seemed to kinda creep up on me for no reason) Keeping my fingers crossed. Like I said I still have a bit of the numbing here and there, but it is nothing like the constant numbing I used to experience. I'm actually anticipating feeling worse this next week, b/c it should be the start of my period. And like you said and others I have read stating it's worse around menstration and ovulation, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm glad you are starting to feeling better. It's a shame that you have to take another drug to cure the symptoms of an old drug, hopefully you will be able to stop that soon as well. I still think's it's absolutely crazy that a stupid birth control pill can cause so many problems. I really don't think I want to take another one. I'm 27 but my b.f. and I don't want kids any time in the near future, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I guess condoms for now. I really don't want to mess with my hormones any more.
I did go to the Dr. on Mon. and they took blood pressure, they said it was fine, so I guess that's OK.
Thanks for your help. Like I said before, I really appreciate this site I think it's great that women can talk to other women experiencing the same thing. I really hope they get that crap off the market...

Dear Two Girls mom

I remember the blurry vision being realy bad first 3 months its settled a bit now but as SILKE said to be its worse around stress and being this your first period then thats also a factor.
Let me know the bp results, h9ow are you feeling otherwise.
The anxiety is always bad around period time i found so maybe thats a time to take perhaps something herbal eg chamomile tea or something to relax you so you are relying on a natural helper. DOnt get me wrong i totallyunderstand why you are on the paxil and zanax as im sure anyone here would i just dont want to see you go through another type of withdrawal thats all. I understand having kids and going through this is HELL i have 3 ages 10,7 and 2 so im there with you but battling it out each month now is gonna save you later i assure you....
You will get there and just like the others were there for me im here for you..........

Dear SILKE AND CHRISSY,

have you had any blood tests done since being off yasmin eg cholestrol etc , after a extended time especially you Silke as its been a year ( congrats on that).
Silke also you said you blood perssure is st8ill up a little do you measure that yoursef or by doctor and do you need to take any meds for that.
TWO GIRLS MOM, how are you, you can guess know that the pals and anxiety are period related and it will ease as your cycle goes on. My first two months were really realy hard but its getting better coming into my 4th month could never have made it without the girls here, also how did you go with the bp monitor ???

Big Hugs
Lisa

Dear two girls mom,

very very normal almost every post i ever read said the anxiety and palps were bad around ovulation and period. I am 4mths off yasmin and am due for my period any day and have them also and i posted the other day to see if others still got them the same way.
stay strong
lisa

Dear two girls mom,

ur welcome.
have you thought about relaxation tapes also chamomile tea helps a lot. u are detoxing and it will get better. Which country do you live in??? I am in australia and mirena is free ...a joke really when you think of the side effects although yasmin is really expensive here.

big hugs

two girls mom and everyone
i felt embarassed to be on paxil but realize i need it to get me back to normal.the first two days i took it i made myself sick just thinking about taking the pill, today i could not wait to take it because i want to get well, we have kids we need to be there for, mine are 5 and 2 we proably will not have to be on it for life, our hormones need to be regulated. i found an all natural anxiety supplement its called Seredyn you can look it up online at Seredyn.com its by bioneurix corp i ordered it, i also drink a Natural calm drink by peter gillhams and yerba mate organic greentea we need calcium and magnesium to stay calm and vitamin b is also very important it helps the nearvous system my mom and sister are health food nuts hand in there

two girls mom

have u seen the side effects from MIRENA i had it 6months ago without even knowing what yasmin had done to me and had to have it removed after 3weeks, it wsa horrendous to say the least and guess what it made me feel worse than yasmin and beofre i put two and two together and realised that yasmin was doing what it did to me i went back on the yasmin and hence i found this site (THANK GOD) and knew i was not going crazy i was normal. Mirena is made from the same drug company as yasmin

Lisa

Dear Two girls mom,

STAY STRONG.... I have been off the yasmin since nov 9 2005 and let me tell you the first 2 months were just like you have described, i thought i was going to die, is has started to get better although i had horrible headache and anxiety and depressed on day 4 off my period this month it was not like the other months that it consumed my entire life.
it is hard i know and you feel like its never going to get better and i am still struggling with high bp thanks to the pill but its gotta get better, i just look at all the people like silke,chrissy,and shelly who continually post and that gets me through, they are longer than us and they are surviving and are getting better so can we....
YOU WILL GET THERE, deep breaths,a natural relaxant ad magnesium help with the palpitations...
good luck
lisa
