"i was put on the nuvaring after not having a period for 8 months (which i have equated to marathon training). my period began as soon as my first 3 weeks were over. i thought everything was great, but it is now 9 months later and my emotions have been out of control. i cry and just in general freak out over nothing! i have definitely gone up an entire cup size, but my breasts are always sore/tender. i am a non-smoking 30 year old and my blood pressure has been elevating. finally, lately at the gym i have been having difficulty breathing. i am going in to my doctor to discuss all these concerns before i put another one in."
