Personal Question for the ladies
Hey girls, I had my son in December 06 and my menstral cycle has been really messed up. I know that it takes time, but last February I got the Mirena IUC and that is supposed to lighten it if anything. Through the spring and summer I would have 3 weeks of it, then like 2 weeks off. Then in about September it seemed like it had regulated. I was having 1 for 1 week every month until November. That’s when it started to be on for 1 week stop for a few days, start up again for another week, then have 1 1/2 weeks off and it starts all over again. I am anemic and have a calcium deficiency so I take a multi-vitamin, and extra iron daily. Since November I have been feeling exhausted, crampy, and just not happy. I guess that my questions are:
Do you think that my menstral cycle can be what is making me so sleepy?
Do you think that I may be needing even more iron since I am bleeding so much?
Do you think that I should call my doctor now, or it can wait until March when I will go for my yearly exam?
Thanks for being here guys. My mom and I are not that close, and my sisters are really private if you know what I mean. I just wanted some insight. Thanks again
Love~Danielle

Ohhhh I hate to say this to you. I had the mirena and have nothing but bad things to say about it. It did NOTHING to lighten things up as a matter of fact it made TOM worse and more often….my moods were all over the place….I had that cramping….Horrible migraines that I never had before….I had gained 7 pounds in one month and IT HAD TO BE THAT because at the time I got it I was at goal and doing everything the same as before. I stuck it out 2 years and finally I had enough. I had it removed and my tubes tied in one swoop.
If you do not feel comfortable with it and it’s side effects, get it out.
I had switched Dr’s and my new Dr. said they are starting to hear all kind of complaints about it.
Thanks a lot!! I had one before too. Actually it misteriously disappeared and that is how I ended up preggo with my son! I am scared though because they had told me that since I had c-sections that I would have to have surgery to tie my tubes. I can’t have any more kids! I have 3 already but I can’t deal with this anymore. I had went on the depo shot and it was just as bad. I was thinking about just going back to the pill and taking it as faithfully as my vitamins. I don’t know what to do. UHHHH I hate the mirena!
I would say consult your dr. But all these hormone fluctuations can certainly make you weak and tired. Good luck! hope you feel better soon!
thanks guys!! And great job with your weightloss kamaperry!!! GEE WIZZ!!
