Vaginal ring  

I have Endometriosis and got my first surgery to remove a myoma this year. I had to start using birth control because of the risk of having other myomas and my anemia. I´m using it since 9 months and the first 3 months i was feeling good, even if it doesnt affect at all my bleeding. I was feeling better with my mood/PMS, got bigger boobs but the rest was the same. But, after 4-5 months i started gaining weight, having headahes quite often, still dealing with my anemia, and now i have dryeness in my vagina. Really low libido, my sexual relations are painful, i don´t recognize my body. I´m not able to connect with my body. I have my appointment with my Gyne soon, i´ve decided to stop using it.

Although I didn't get any physical symptoms, I did find notable mental side effects. History: I did have anxiety before starting the medication. Beginning (first month): I was an absolute raging b*tch. I could not control my anger. I was angry and crying all the time. I couldn't focus on anything. It was horrible. I felt like a monster. After the first month symptoms definitely leveled out. Like I said, no physical symptoms, but I noticed that the brain fog/inability to focus continued and although I did not experience clinical depression, I did feel like I just lost my overall happiness.
