I had mirena inserted July 17. The insertion was painless for me (Thankfully!) and I only had mild cramping the rest of that day.
About a week later the cramps started. BAD. I never had cramps with my periods before so what was BAD for me might be nothing for others. But I suffered
and then the spotting started. Two days of it. And then 10 days of heavy bleeding. I felt like I did the week after having my baby! Then 2 more days of spotting. I've had random cramps since.
About two weeks ago I had a pain in my right calf one day. The next day it was my left calf and it was warmer than the rest of my leg. Both legs get that pinchy achey sensation in the calf - especially if I sit or crouch a lot that day. No thank you blood clots.
Last night as I was trying to fall asleep I got dizzy. While laying down. With my eyes closed. I felt like I had drank all night long! And when I get up I have to do so slowly because I get dizzy pretty easy these days.
Well about a week in (roughly) the depression hit after 3 days of me feeling absolutely amazing- I thought Mirena was amazing for those few days. I havent been able to kick the darkness since.
My fiance works 10-16 hour shifts and he calls and texts me throughout his work day as a merchandiser so I pretty much always know where he is and what he is doing. The last two weeks I've been convinced that he's cheating on me. He wouldn't do that. So my minds freaking out telling me he's cheating and doesn't love me anymore which isn't the case because he clearly loves me and shows me that when he's home.
I have no desire to do housework (ha, who does!?). And I actually am to the point that I resent my fiance for working and having days off and I don't get days off from houseowrk, the dog, the baby. This is not normal for me! I love being a SAHM. I have always wanted to be the caretaker and was perfectly content doing so until the insertion of this foreign object!
I cry on and off all day long. For no reason other than my mind is telling me that I'm bored, unhappy, my fiance is cheating, and that i hate this life. This is simply not true. I even told my fiance that I want to run away and forget all about this
This is not me and I konw it's not.
I thought getting out of the house would help so I've been taking daily walks with the baby and that hasn't helped. I started to really clean house, thinking a clean home would help me. Nope. I weeded the garden, trimmed the bushes, cleaned up the yard. No improvement. I was outside for hours a day for a week and even the beautiful sunshine didnt help!
My fiance brought me the most beautiful boquet of flowers last week. He does this every few months. It's one of the things I love about him
we even went out yesterday on his only day off to the museum I've been wanting to go to for a year. Do you think I was happy after we left?
On top of the depression last night my fiance told me he wants me to get it taken out because of my mood and it pokes him. I know that can be taken care of with a simple snip of the cords. But he said he doesn't care so much about the pokes but he dreads coming home to me and seeing me not happy that broke my heart.
So I go on the 10th for my check up but I'm calling tomorrow and telling them to make it a removal appointment. If the doc argues with me I'll go to the health dept. I can't keep going with this.
I've talked to a few women who have it and they say to give it at least 6 months - it takes time for our bodies to adjust to hormones. Not gonna happen. I was on one bc pill a few years back. Within a week I was crying Every. Single. Day. I told the doc after three weeks that I was done. She tried to convince me to stay on it for three months. No. I stopped and three days later I wasn't crying. My body is highly sensitive to hormones and reacts quickly.
So Mirena and I don't get along well. Hell, me and hormones don't get along well. So it will be condoms for us from now on. Maybe we should buy shares in Trojan or something?
