Mirena and pcos I just got the mirena IUD inserted almost a week ago now and the only thing that i am noticing that is uncomfortable is it has made me very constipated and have a constant bloated feeling. The second they fit it and i left the office i had to go straight to the restroom and couldnt do anything. I have started to take metimucil but to no avail so far. Any one know if this goes away? I would almost rather deal with the other symptoms then deal with harsh side effects from something like this. My specialist really didnt give me an explanation to how this is supposed to help in the first place but I am not a medical proffessional and my family doctor and the second specialist all told me that this would be my 'fix all' without really explaining anything. I will continue to post questions about this most likely if i keep having issues such as these. Everyone is so different that you cant always go on what everyone else is saying, hormome ratio's are different and lifestyle/diet are also factors so you cant really tell unless you give it a chance. I have had issues from the moment i first got my period to now and they have progressively gotten worse over the years, starting out with unusual period pattern into once every couple months, then a period that is really heavy and lasts a little longer to every three months to the point where i wont get it from 3-4-6mnths then bleed till i start taking the pill again. i would normally go off the pill when my period regulated cuz i have no memory and the side effects there are horrible too. it takes longer and longer for my period to go away even with the pill and the last stint lasted about 6mnths of straight bleeding before the pill started working to get rid of it. Thats when my doctor started testing me for pcos and so now here i am, trying something i dont really think will help and am very uncomfortable. sorry for the rant, i dont have anyone really to talk to about all this, my boyfriend can only take so much....lol.... |
