I had been on nuvaring for 6 weeks. I usually don't do well with any birth control pills so when I heard about nuvaring I was excited to try it. The first few days I felt some light body ache as if I were getting sick. I noticed I was feeling depressed, but I thought it was because of some problems in my personal life. Then I went on a trip to Brazil to visit my family. I always have a great time. This time I wasn't having fun at all. I was always super depressed. I was always tired and never felt like doing much. Some days I just felt like crying. Some nights I would wake up in the middle of the night, think about my problems and just start crying, something that is not like me. My emotions were totally out of wack. I was not in conrol of my emotions, which is not a good feeling. I also had this horrible pain/feeling in the middle of my chest. More like an emotional pain as if you were missing someone super bad, as if someone had died, a very weird feeling. These symptoms subsided a little with a vitamin b complex. I read that vitamin B6, about 100 mg is good for depression. I would take a multivitamin and with it a vitamin B complex. On the days I would forget I felt the difference, the symptoms were worse. Two times during my trip when I was having one of those days my grandmother then my father asked if everything was ok, that I looked pale. The second time when he asked me, I thought to myself, this is not normal. I feel horrible. I came on to the web and found this sight. The same day I took out my ring. I was on my second month starting my third week. It has been two days. That pain in my chest has gotten much better and also my mood is getting better. About the sex drive I am not sure, because I have been away from my husband since I started the ring, but I haven't thought about sex at all. I think it was the right choice to take it out. Another thing about a week and a half ago my breasts have been very tender. My breast are still very tender, maybe a little worse, probably because I took olut the ring a week earlier, but I am glad I did. Hopefully now I will enjoy the rest of my trip. All these products for birthcontrol with hormones is like poison to our body. Well at least I have noticed it has been for mine.
