The Nuvaring...
MURDER!
I have never felt so many intermittent headaches, nausea, cramping and moodiness than I have in the last week and a half.
I had to pull that shit out.
It's like migraine city with the stomach flu, man. I don't recommend it.
So what are you gals out there using??
I felt so mental on these hormone methods. I tried the Depo shot before; and, after two years I began having panic attacks and started feeling less like myself. I know that I damaged friendships and relationships by being mental as well.
I wonder how many beautiful relationships, or jobs even (via sick days), ended on account of the craziness that it causes women; how much our reputation has been affected--like society generalizing, "girls are crazy!"
What if some of those bitchy girls are, by nature, really the nicest girls on the planet, and are actually altered by the freakin' hormones?
It made me sad...I feel sorry for those girls out there who are going nuts and can't help but cry and beat up their boyfriends; and, they have no idea why.
Then, they may end up losing the man of their dreams which could lead these girls to think that they aren't good enough or that there are no fish in the sea for them. (Mac has been a pillar of strength and understanding. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.)
10 years ago, the hormone content in contraceptive methods were like, 3 times higher! What if some of our parents divorced because of them!? I know women with breast cancer had slashed chances of survival because of the estrogen content in their BC pills. (It increases the rate of tumor growth.)
This is a battle, I tell you. It's a battle that has endured since women had to take these things.
I have no doubt about the unseen effect women's birth control has had on all of us; our men, our children, and especially the women.
...Sigh, but what else can be done?
I can tell you this...I took it out about an hour ago and I feel a lot better already.
Edit note-(I haven't even began to talk about the withdrawal symptoms when you get off these drugs. With any chemical taken on a daily basis, like caffiene, cigarettes, heroin-when you stop, you get withdrawal. Depo's withdrawal is like PMS x2, the stomach flu, and migraines, for an entire month.) I like contraception. I guess I'm just hoping for a greater understanding for the women who take these things.
