After a near-breakdown, I did some more research, verified my suspicions, and then chukked the Nuva-ring hormonal treatment I have been on to stop ovulation in order to shrink the masses on my ovaries I have been dealing with since September.

I had not done artificial hormones (via The Pill or in this case, the Ring) since the late 1990s. Back then , I ALSO had every negative side effect that comes with messing with body chemistry.  I tried to be open-minded and try it, as I wished to get rid of the pain. But then I got migranes, which faded into daily headaches. Then the boobs, ass, and the rest blew up like balloons. Now my hair is falling out or breaking off and looks like straw (I usually have OILY hair!)

I had noticed that I pretty much cried EVERY day over stupid little things. Sometimes merely a commercial on TV would set me off! Now, in addition to teary=ness, I am snippy, no patience, just not myself. So...enough. I have had it. I now know I have fibroids so the ring cant stop the bleeding issues anyway.

I have no idea what I will do for birth control. Until I get some sort of PERMANENT solution via surgical procedure,  I guess I will have to follow the advice of NeNe Leakes: *Close your legs to married men!* Except, in this case, the Married Man is the one I am married TO! ;)
