I was on Nuvaring for exactly 2 weeks and 1 day and for the first few days it was great. The only side effect I seemed to be getting was the breast swelling and tenderness. Then about a week in, I started getting cramps that were very short (5-20 seconds or so) but very painful, and then came mood swings. I was very depressed. I didn't want to go anywhere or be around anyone.I would get angry at my fiance and want him to shut up and go away if he tried to have a conversation with me, but then I would cry hysterically if he was on the computer or not paying attention to me for any longer than about 20 minutes. I didn't want to move from the couch. All I wanted to do was nap or eat. If I wasn't doing either of those I was yelling or crying. So, my fiance and I did some research and found that the nuvaring could cause all of that. I took it out, and my mood swings immediately became less severe, and now, after having it out a week are almost gone. The problem is, I just started my period this morning and I am just pouring blood like no one would ever believe, and I have cramps worse than I have ever felt before. I am wondering if I should go to the emergency room or wait this out and call my Gyno on Monday.

OMG!!!! I've been on this stupid ring for about 2 weeks and my experience has been very similar. I was fine the first couple of days...just felt a little pressure. Then about a week into it I was sitting on the couch watching TV with my boyfried and his family and he told me that I was shutting him out and seemed very down and irritable and then the next day I started getting these horrible debilitating cramps. I thought I was going to die. Since then I've been extremely down and my doctor isn't calling me back. I don't know what to do anymore. Please keep me updated on if your situation got any better. Maybe then I can have an idea of what might be in store for me the next couple of months
