This could be an effect of the hormones- how long have you been on the Yasmin?
And, hon, the hormones could definitely be affecting and/or adding to it, but you've been going through a lot of ups and downs this past month, so it could just be your body getting a bit tired out. I know when I get hit with a lot of draining events right in a row it really leaves me feeling a bit more reactive to emotional things. Just an idea, but let's tackle the hormonal question, too

Yah, I guess the stress has been making me "break" easily. Good thought. I've only been on the Yasmin for about 4 months.

After four months, your body should be well aclimated to the hormones in the Yasmin, so after this point, it's probably not as likely a culprit as other factors in your life right now. That doesn't mean it's not having an affect, since hey- hormones in general can do it, but I don't think I'd stick the blame to that.
Hallie, just a thought to toss out here: do you know of anyone you could talk to just to talk and blow off some of what may be going on in your life right now? I'm not suggesting serious therapy, by any means, but a good counselor can be helpful to ANYONE just to have an unbiased source to talk to about what you might be feeling or dealing with at the time.

I've been thinking about it...but I feel pretty emotionally stable right now. I just noticed being really prone to burst into tears for weird reasons.
I'm really happy, especially after today. I had my follow-up today for the biopsy. My OBGYN is awesome...he asssured me that I'd be doing really well from this point on. He gave me a informational session on how to insert the NuvaRing and answered all of my questions. I'm really excited to start it next month because all I've heard is great things about it. At the end of our appointment, I gave him a thank you card saying how greatful I am for all of his support. He's been one of the reasons this process has been so smooth. I thought he deserved a thank you.
I can usually talk with my boyfriend about worries and stuff, he's really supportive. We've had our rough spots recently, but we've come to terms with them. Just part of life in a relationship where two people's needs have to converge in harmony. That's dificult. We both know that.
Finals are taking a toll on me, along with trying to shed the extra weight I gained from being on the pill. So, I guess there's a lot on my plate.
But you guys have been so great, helping me iron out the rough spots.
