I was on the Nuvaring for about 2 1/2 months. In that time, I put...

OMG!! I am reading this and I have everything you have. But if i read right your water retention came after you took the NR out? My started the day after I put the 3rd ring in.

I am 36yrs old I was a smoker for over 21yrs recently quit 34 days ago. I hadn't been on any birth control/hormone nothing for over 15yrs. My doctor says i have cysts on my overies that the NR is a safe method to supress the overies to help with the cysts. It is safe with being a smoker (which i was at the time) So ok I trust the doctor. Well the first month was fine. I've had other issuse so the sex drive didn't alert me but into the 2nd month OMG the moodyness the emothions the byting peoples head off for no reson but I didn't put 2 and 2 together yet. Then I come to my 3rd month the day after I placed the NR in my feet swell they look like elephant feet. they are huge. So now I get on line to really research th NR (which I should have done to start with) wow the side effects I found I had sooo many of them. Swollan feet is a major side effect contact you doctor type of side effect. So I call the doctor they tell me he's out til monday go to the walk in clinic. they tell me it could be blood clots... results nope it's not it now is probably water retention...OMG!! Well needless to say I have taken the NR out and do not plan to replace it with anything I had a very normal menstral cycle before the NR every 27-29 days. I pray my body and mind gets back to normal soon. I would NOT reccomment ANYONE use this devil creating product!
