Ok so backstory - I had the copper coil fitted and found it great but my periods became extremely heavy and so I got it removed.
I had a break for a month (during which I felt amazing) then got the Mirena fitted. I expected to have bleeding on and off for a good few weeks and was prepared to stick with it, the spotting is now tailing off. What I wasn’t prepared for is the fact I feel like I am going crazy..
I have no history of feeling low, depressed etc but I feel terrible. I feel fed up, I keep full of screaming at my kids and my husband and my god I am exhausted. I work two days a week and stupid little things that may have wound me up before are making me almost cry. It started a few days after I got it inserted. I took the pill years ago and stopped it in 2013 (had three children since then) - I tried the pill after my first child but I kept forgetting and when I did take it I was much more emotional.
Should I stick with this?? I don’t think it’s likely to change as clearly the hormones although a small dose are screwing me up. Any similar experiences? I got it at the sexual health/family planning clinic and they said they have no issues removing it but I know after three weeks they will try and discourage me. I can get it removed privately though and they won’t ask any questions as I would be paying.
Right now I feel like pulling it out myself. I can’t afford to be feeling like this with three kids to look after, we also just moved house. Any advice much appreciated.
