NuvaRing and anyone else noticed

I am 29 years old and I have been using NR for almost a year already. although I got through mood swings all the time, now that I think back over the last year or so, I have been acting especially crazy. I am never calm, irritated by everything and everyone, break up with my boyfriend at least 1ce a week, cry a few times a week. Only after reading these posts did I start realizing that maybe its due to NR? I started taking Valerian pills to calm me down, but I became emotionless. I cant be happy for anyone, want to be alone, and not go out. I thought this was all due to stress at work, but now I'm beginning to think otherwise. I took out the ring for good about 3 weeks ago and as soon as few days later have noticed that my breasts are VERY tender, so tender that it hurts to wear a bra. My nipples are HUGE and hurt so bad, this got me scared -thinking that I may be pregnant, but I have been very careful after taking out the ring. Has anyone else noticed this after removing the ring for good?

Hi,

I am on my 16th day of using NR. I am also on the sixteenth day of my period. It is not the brown discharge described here, but defintely blood. I am holidays at the moment and so have difficulty in accessing a doctor. I am thinking I should remove it, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else noticed a similar symptom and if so, did it just go away?

I haven't had any other bad effects yet and to tell the truth it's been a very difficult few weeks for me, I've lost my job etc. So, I don't think it's having an emotional effect. Perhaps this stress lately could explain my proloinged period though? Any advice???

Thanks.
