I've been really bitchy lately. It's not all in my head. I have witnesses. (Dear Witnesses: I'm sorry).
I fluctuate from wanting tons of affection and sex and being all happy and bubbly and fun to being quiet, distant, cranky and in general, a shitty person to be around (I don’t even want to be around me).
In addition to my "regular" over-abundance of acne(all over my face, back and bum, and other body parts sometimes), I currently have some sort of acne-like rash all on my upper chest, and my forehead some, and my face is totally broken out and it hurts.
I haven’t noticed any change in weight or eating yet(clothes still fit the same), although I don’t think it’s been long enough yet. My eating habits have changed in the last month or so anyways with out the BC, I eat a lot more home cooked meals and meat than I used to. Surprisingly I’ve cut back on carbs some. I had lost 6-7 lbs since December, which was kinda nice. I’ll have to pay attention and see what happens now.
Little cramp twinges sometimes too, but that’s manageable. One thing I’m still deciding on, do I take the ring out and have a period, or do I just continue on with the next one and not have a period?
There have been people who have told me to just have my period, because it will be short anyway and its healthier. I would agree that it was healthier, if you know...I wasn't taking a synthetic hormone to offset the natural process my body should be having....
***Edit: i was looking up personal accounts and experiences with the nuva ring and i found this little tid-bit:
Also, the NuvaRing could cause behavioral side affects. My friend reported being extremely angry while on it. So much so that slightly annoying things, like foot tapping, made her completely, irrationally angry.
