Q: nuvaring causes mood swings

I heard somewhere that since the nuvaring is so low a dosage of hormones that some peoples bodies react in a way that tries to counter the imbalance, and therefore causes more moodswings and even depression. Ive been on it for a while now, and I have been experiencing similar affects but I never connected the two until recently. Is it just a coincidence, or could there be something there?

It is not because it is such a low dose, it is because hormones themselves can react badly in some women!(no matter what the dose)

i cannot use any hormones at all, so I have an ud, it ios a hormone free type of birth control. Many docs are relucatant to give them out to women, but planned parenthood has been a huge leader in getting the word of iud's out.
