Mood Swings: Mirena...or My Meds?

[dkwgdk.livejournal.com]

Hey y'all--

TL; DR: 2 years into Mirena, my mood issues have suddenly intensified. I suspect my depression meds are crapping out, but wondering if anyone has had mood issues show up this far in to using the device. The rest is behind a cut for brief discussion of mood symptoms and calories-per-day that might be triggering.

Nuvaring to yaz

[elephantus45.livejournal.com]

Am I going to regret this?  This is my 4th nuvaring, I haven't had any spotting or any issues like that (I've been doing the 4 weeks in and right to a new one) except I had a yeast infection and took the ring out at 3 weeks (starting Feb 24).  I had a period, stuck a new ring in on Feb 28.  Now its March 7.  The only issue I have with the nuvaring is that its been giving me debilitating migraines, that absolutely nothing (I have in my power, otc, vicodin, midrin) can help alleviate.  They are really bad, they last days, and I basically have to wait them out, only for another to happen in a day or two.

My question is, if I take my ring out tonight, and take a yaz pill in the morning, am I going to have a problem?  I am at the point where these migraines are really taking a toll on my body, and when I'm physically stressed all kinds of bad things happen.  I really just don't think I can deal with another one (and I'm feeling one start).

So, my plan is take the ring out tonight, take a pill in the morning and keep taking pills in the morning.  Is this a really horrible thing to do?


EDIT to add:  I don't really care much about spotting, I have a small meluna that takes care of that.

why am i so nervous

I hate to contribute to the loads of "am I pregnant posts" this community sees on a regular basis, but this is the first legitimate [as in I actually *may* be preg] pregnancy scare I've had in quite some time.
