"i started on the nuva ring because i was diagnosed with pmdd, (premenstrual dsyphoric disorder - mood disorder). i&#039;ve had other birth control in the past and could never remember to take it on time. i started nuvaring in january while on a mood stabilizer. the first month i thought i was pregnant. i mean with all the mood swings, weight gain, it was overwhelming. the second month was uneventful but i was noticing a feeling of dullness. march and april were scary. i became very depressed. i continued with the nuvaring. i found that days i skipped my mood stabilizer i felt better but once i took them again i started to feel horrible once more. i asked my doctor to take me off the mood stabilizers. i felt better. i&#039;m still on nuvaring and feeling fine."
