I've been on the ring for almost three weeks now and the first week I was a total wreck, I felt completely depressed and sad. Finally that went away, my breast grew a little bit I was a small C now a fuller one. I've been reading reviews on another forum about this method of BC and several women pointed out their emotions got totally out wack, crying spells over nothing, depression, feeling tired and headaches.
I've experienced the depression, which has diminished, breast soreness, crying spells, being tired and having headaches the past few days, present time included (my inspiration for this thread). I couldn't tell where the headaches were coming from, maybe the birth control, stress over school, or maybe caffine withdrawal. My breast have been sore a good chunk of this month, maybe still growing from the influx of hormones.
I took it for two months about two years ago with no problems but now I'm seeing signs of symptoms common for women on it, myself included.
I don't mind the breast growing, but the headaches and over-emotional status is kind of annoying. I love the convience of it, and my partner and I have taken advantage of that, I just don't like the extras associated.
Usually I don't get headaches or cry over stupid things.
I realized I'm more prone to start bawling then I usually would, typically I'm pretty thick skinned. The doctor said it's a lower dose of hormones, but hopefully after a few cycles my body will sort itself out.
I was wondering if anyone has been on this for an extended time and had similar side effects or advice?
