Thank you Ashleystar. I'm finding out that depo's a bad choice for PCOS, so that's why I'm starting to research. At this particular moment, and for the next few years, I won't be TTC, and I knew going into depo that TTC would be difficult/impossible for up to 2 years post final injection.
Twizzles- thanks for being willing to share more info. IUD's worry me, in part to stories like Ashleystars, but also since I do cycle, just not regularly at all. I'll have AF, seven plus full days, with a lot of cramping/clotting. Then I'll go into what feels like ovulation, around day 14-20, but day 28 will hit, and I'll have full blown PMS and no AF. I'll continue, bloated, gassy and beyond irritable until somewhere between day 45 and 60, where I'll finnally start AF. By this point, I'm so moody that everyone around me is in 'Duck and Cover' and praying for AF, right along with me. That's what worries me about an IUD, even mirena, since it won't regulate anything but conception, and won't have a lot of help with moodyness, or either force AF (like the pill would) or suppress the entire cycle altogether (like the depo). IDK, I'm really going to have to start doing some seroius research, as I don't want the oral BCP again (they can all cause menstrual migraines), and I shouldn't stay on depo, even though it's been good to me for the migrains and the PMS. |
