Mirena IUD Review- Month 4
This is going to be a long story. But for some prefacy summary: hormones can cause lots of things.
I can’t quite remember if anything in June happened since nothing seemed to inspire me to write a month 3 (June) update. However, in most of July and especially the last 2 weeks, I’ve been feeling extremely extremely depressed. I’ve had various mild mini-depressions around final exams/projects before, but who doesn’t get depressed during those times? Well, unfortunately my emotions were so depressed I was literally down- feeling extremely hopeless and lonely and isolated and not looking forward to the future and basically every kind of heavy “not happy with my intolerable uselessness”. I’m not going to go into what kind of personal problems i have, but whatever it was, my emotions the last 2 weeks really made it much more worse than I normally have it. It got to the point where last week I could not sleep, I could not eat (actually, I think that was more like- i dont have time to eat), I had nausea most of the time, and a raging migraine and feeling dizzy for most of the days.
Today, now that I’m writing this up, I finally have time to break it down. Because I have other complications along with the IUD, I can’t decipher which one is causing these problems in July. What I can say is- looking at my Clue (an iPhone app for tracking periods) record for these months and comparing other journal entries & the past 2 IUD updates, there might be a correlation:
-I did not PMS before
-I did not reeeally have a systematic period- my like a natural cycled period
In May-June, my [spotting]“period” came literally at the end of the month. Simultaneously, I noticed more and more depressing (like mental depression-style depressing) thoughts 2ish weeks before it. So this is what I’m hoping: because I’ve never had PMS before, maybe this depression stuff is just taking place of PMS since the lining of my uterus is majorly suppressed now. Obviously, a natural healthy uterus is supposed to bleed every month but if an irritant (like an IUD) is in there, adjustments are needed. Hopefully thats the case. Anyways- I’m out for now. Hopefully i’ll get out of this depressive state and I’ll update this post if I have my [spotting]”period” soon (OOOR if i completely miss it 8D ).
