Thank you God! I thought i was loosing my mind.... I have been on the NR for about 6 months now. at first it was great! i didnt have really any problem at all. (I have had issues with Depression in the past and i had been doing better but i found on the pill i had some mood swings so i changed to the NR to try and fix that. BAD CHOICE.) About 2 days before i was supposed to take it out the first time I had horrible cramps and headaches and i thought it was normal. But since then my moods have been INSANE. I am on my "off" week and so far i havent started my period. I am NOT gunna put it back in this month. it just doesnt seem to be worth it. I am terrible to people that i really love and i dont know why. I have gained about 20lbs and im working out more than i ever have. I cry all the time. I get sick all the time. I just called my dr. and set up an appointment. now that i know im not alone, something definitely is gunna change. Has anyone else completely skipped a period due to the NR? As of today i have skipped and while i dont see how i could be pregnant (only had sex once this month due to my complete lack of wanting too which im realizing now could be contributed to the NR) I am still a little worried. Thank you so much ladies!

I am going through the same withdrawals! I took the ring out in August, (my last period came a few days later). I gained about 4 lbs in the week that i was supposed to put it back in! I've since gone crazy with diet and excercise and I'm happy to say that extra weight is gone.

I was supposed to have gotten my period almost two weeks ago. I am cramping like crazy, but nothing has come down yet, not even breakthrough bleeding or spotting. I doubt if I am pregnant, and I've taken two tests already.
