Well, I have been off B/C for about 8 months now. I was on B/C for about 7 years before that. I always had crazy mood swings and felt depressed certain times of the month. Ever since I went off B/C, I have not had one single anxiety attack and have felt wonderful. My friend told me about NuvaRing and how she really liked it. I decided to give it a shot. I just put it in on Saturday. Today, Monday, I felt horrible. I went to bed with a headache and could not sleep. I woke up this morning and I was extremely bloated. I could not understand why I was bloated because I didn't eat much yesterday. I had/have the worst headache I have had in a very long time and my breast are extremely sore. I thought I might be coming down with something, so I took 1/2 day off work and came home. It just popped in my head that there may be some side effects w/ the ring. I found this website and now I know what is wrong with me. I just took the ring out.... I may not have given it a fair chance, but I cannot live my life like this every day. It's not worth it!
