am I turning into a harpy or is it my coil?

[Cappucino]

I woke up this morning and screamed at everyone; I do this from time to time and thought it was just because I was tired. But this time I was out of control and in such a bad mood, I was really nasty to the kids and dh for no reason at all and even made dd cry. I never used to have PMT or anything, but now I've got a ius, a mirena coil, and though I'm not having periods (also bf a 14-month-old) I've felt really menstrual all day with stomach pains and general tiredness. Anyone else had these mad episodes? Or am I just cranking up to menstruate again? (though I really think it would have started by now if I was)...

Dont think its the coil - I have had one for ages and not had a period or any PMS symptons(neither have any of my 8 friend in the Mirena coil club!!! some have had it in 4 years) - it was probably a bad day - we all get them and scream at the kids on the odd occassion.

Ps think the Mirena is one of the better contraceptive options around!

general tiredness?
have you thought of getting your thyroid function tested?

Capa - search the Mumsnet archive for Mirena but brace yourself. A lot of women have trouble with it. I'm settling down to a couple of hours harpy action a month now having had my Mirena for ten months, lots more earlier on.

I was told that pmt should be wiped out but i found it hasnt and really wake up the wrong side of bed sometimes and dh doesnt know what causes it. Having it out on thursday and i cant wait.

Have you read the other thread about mirena and the amount of people that suffer with it?
