To have the coil removed after a week

I had the mirena coil fitted 11 days ago as the first step (as suggested by dr) in trying to get my hormones under control and help with very heavy painful periods. I do not need it for contraception. I do no lt need contraception at all.

i have a history of low mood and mild depression and very much ‘teeter on the edge of being ok’ the week period my period is due I have horrendous pmt I am Angry irrational emotional to the extreme. My period comes and then I’m ok for two weeks and so the cycle continues.

I feel since the mirena was fitted I feel so much worse. I am really anxious angry and depressed. I’ve cried pretty much every day. Can it have an effect as quick as that?!

should I have it out??

has this happened to anyone else?

Can you speak to your GP about your symptoms? For me, the merina was a game changer - after a couple of months of spotting, I have no periods and no discernible change in mood or PMT symptoms.

I will make a gp appointment. I hear so many positive stories re mirena and really hoped it would be the same for me but I feel like my mood is so awful. I really don’t want anti depressants

Yeah, just don't let them tell you it's a coincidence if it's only happened since the coil went in.

You can have it taken out for any reason you like. It's your body.

It would be crazy to go on ADs because of the coil. You can get it taken out any time. When I had mine in (non-hormonal) they said I could have it taken out the next day if I wanted.
