WTH! What is wrong with me?
Ok, so I know I've posted a lot on here about my endometriosis and NuvaRing. Well DH and I decided yesterday (when I would've had to put my new ring in) to get off of NuvaRing and manage the endometriosis through a healthy diet and exercise, and just use condoms and/or FAM.
Anyways,I took my ring out last Wednesday for my "free" week and the next day my skin was clear, I looked thinner, and I felt better. So Thursday, I started getting headaches (and I don't normally get headaches), and I have had one everyday since. Yesterday morning I woke up with horrible chest pain that was under my left breast and sharp and stabbing pain. Then last night my DH looked at me and said "What's wrong with you?" because I was snapping at everything he said (which is totally unlike me). I told him I didn't know and just started bawling. And today I still feel all anxious and am having heartburn.
Is it possible to have withdrawls from NuvaRing or birth control in general? I have never had withdrawl symptoms from any other birth control, that I can remember, but I have no other explanation for what's happening. Please help!

And psst...balling is something else than crying.:)
"When he told me that he was interested in balling me, I started bawling.";)
Thanks, I fixed that typo.
And yes, I have a history of GERD and IBS, but they usually only flare up when I'm stressed out. So it might be that I am having GERD right now, but I don't have anything that's stressing me out, even though I feel like I'm going to explode.
Do you think the anxiety and stress could be related to coming off of the NuvaRing?
