I was on the ring for about 1 1/2 years and went off about 4 months ago. I had a normal period 2-3 days after going off it (as usual) and have NOT had a period since. In addition, I have gained 15 pounds since going off the ring 4 months ago! I feel like I have constant PMS and only ONE pair of my jeans fits me now... literally. This is absolutely ridiculous and my doctor just doesn't get it... I have NEVER had to watch what I eat and have always been thin. Now, I work out at least 5 times a week and monitor EVERY calorie that enters my mouth... still, no results. I went on to see my doc yesterday and felt like strangling her as she was telling me my issues were not related to the ring - she's an idiot. I know my body better than anyone and something is WRONG. She sent me to get all the bloodwork today (thyroid, etc) and we'll see how that turns out. The ring was great, but going off it is hell
