Nuvaring and Moodswings; Gyno Visit/VP is awesome
Hey all.
I started using Nuvaring on Sunday. I wanted to be on birth control, and I'm not the type of person who can remember to take a pill every day (I've been on the same asthma medication since I was 12, I'm nearly 20, and I still forget to take the pill at least twice a week). Yesterday and today, I've noticing some hella-awful mood swings. Am I just in a mood-swingy state of mind, or could it have something to do with the awesome pregnancy-prevention hormones being diffused into my system? Even when I'm PMSing, I'm not this emotional. Last night, someone made a crack about homosexuals at work which resulted in me yelling, outing myself as bi, and then sobbing. Today, a joke from my boyfriend resulted in a 20 minute sob session. This is unusual for me, I'm normally more reasonable and less emotional. If it could be the Nuvaring, I think I can deal with it, I'd just like to know if it eventually...evens out? I'm not sure what word I'm looking for here, I'm hoping you guys will understand what I mean.
On an unrelated note, thank you VP for helping me to become more educated about my body and my sexuality! My first gyno visit was super-easy, I knew what to expect, I was not exactly thrilled to be dealing with it, but I was self-aware and confident and all was well. If anyone needs a good gyn in Staten Island, NY I can happily recommend one!
