After three months on the nuvaring, I just pulled mine out early yesterday. I had gone from being a sane, stable person to a Mad Woman. Every little thing would become ww3. After I started throwing a fit because my internet went down, I immediately pulled the thing out. It's not worth my emotional instability. I feel like crying at everything (and my life is good so I have no reason to cry about it!). I constantly pick dumb fights with my b/f. I was yelling at my dogs for no reason and was irked with people on the train and streets.
In addition to being in constant PMS-mode the last three months, I've also been constantly bloated. I have a thin frame to begin with so it isn't the end of the world to get a little tummy pouch but on top of it, I find myself eating nonstop, just as I do the day before I normally get my real period. However, I've been doing this for three months straight. Normally, I am NOT a person who snacks at all and the last three months, I've just been wanting more and more (unhealthy) foods. In one week alone, I went out to get ice cream every single evening because I don't typically keep it in my house but I was craving it so bad. So, also add that I have been craving completely unhealthy foods.
I'm not sure what's going to happen now that I've removed it. I'm only on the day after removing it but am expecting a withdrawal bleed to start by the end of the week. Just keep thinking positive (even though these Monster Hormones make it hard to do that) and realize your body is purging itself of this nasty, nasty stuff.
Some women are prone to those kind of side effects. It doesn't mean every woman will be. I would go back to my doctor instantly and try something else if I was having these horrible emotional and physical effects. Nuvaring just isn't for you.
