"decided to try nv because the pill was inconvenient. thought, it is the lowest level of hormones available, it is of local action- so should be few side effects due to minimal systemic absorption. wrong. i felt moody the whole entire time. and in my mind i knew it wasn&#039;t my typical disposition, but it was so overpowering, i just couldn&#039;t help it. in addition, i felt itchy all over my legs. i was constantly scratching. there were no hives or ingrown hairs, and i didn&#039;t change anything else in terms of my activities/diet/medicines. i felt tired all day long, every day. and the worst thing was this terrible rash on my forehead that looked like tiny acne. that was the last drop before i pulled it out."
