I've been on the nuvaring since January 2007. The first few months were great! I felt awesome and better than ever. This was because it kept my periods on a normal schedule. I was having them 2 and sometimes 3 times a month for 7 or 8 days at a time. NR completely took care of that problem. My periods are great now and almost pain free. They are very light, and that week, I feel better than ever. However, that is about the only thing that is really great about this stuff. Here in the last few months I have become increasingly emotional. I cry over everything and anything...even if it's nothing. I lose my temper quite frequently (over stuff that used to never bother me). I am extremely tired and can't seem to catch up on sleep. Also, in the past few weeks, I've began experiencing odd pains in my right chest area and head. They are weird feeling and very hard to describe. I am still at a loss to what I am going to do. I suppose I am going to ask other's opinions. NR can be a great thing, but it also messes with your emotions way too much. The worst part is, the man that I love and am getting married to on September 15th, 2007 is having to deal with a totally different person than he started dating. It makes me sad, yet I know that I need to be on some form of birth control due to such long and frequent periods without it.
