I am 19 yrs old. I started NuvaRing about 12 days ago. I was hesitant to start with but my OB/GYN said it was the last thing to try to suppress my endometriosis. He assured me that the side effects were minimal and I'd feel like I did on the pill without having to pop a pill every day. After being on Depo Lupron for 6 months that sounded pretty good.
The first couple of days were fine, I just was a little tired but I thought that was from the surgery I had a week before. Then on the 5th or 6th day I started getting down for what seemed like no reason. Then I got this debilitating sharp pain in my lower left side. Not to mention heavy pressure. By the 7th day my depression was worse than it had been in about 6 months. My boyfriend told me that I seemed very much on edge and down. That upset me and I seem to be getting worse instead of better.. I started crying when a friend just said hi. I've only been on it for about two weeks now and I really don't think I can continue to be on NR.
