In the last few weeks I've felt really ooze have event gotten stomach aches that have taken pain killers to be relieved. To be honest, I'm mildly depressed and unstable to to a lack of a job, but I keep myself active dancing and such. Yet even then, I've been volatile. Part of this is dues to depression but that constant feeling of 'ungroundedness' remained. It turns out I took a double dose of the nuvaring in the last few weeks. No wonder!!!! I'm a bit panicked. Will this ruin my system? I currently not in a partnership (havent been for the last year, nothing I know of in the near future...it's just an old habit I didnt want to break 'just in case') SHould I just lay off of the 'ring' for a couple months or even a semi-perminent break until something comes up? I certainly dont want to ruin my system and these last few weeks were just...dizzy.

Hi deepsky, welcome!
WOW! ... Two NuvaRings inserted! No wonder you felt 'off'!!! I don't think it should hurt you but that is really a question that you should ask your doctor. If you want to take a break you can and it is an expense you don't need right now. On the other hand, if someone came into your life soon you would need to use condoms and spermicide until you got another Rx and adjusted to the ring again. I think If it were me, I’d stop hormones for a while. Which you should do only you can decide.
Thanks for posting. I'm betting you will be feeling much better soon. Let us know what you decide, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
