@kenna_bethany: pros: lighter flow, marginally improved mood, c0ntrac3ptive 🩸 cons: painful insertion, random pains, mood not improved as much as i wanted #pmdd #periods #mirena #iud #menstrualhealth
babe be carefull with that - this is synthetic progesterone and can cause neurological symptoms such as balance issues and tremors and also decrease your pain tolerance. for pmdd what doctors dont usually do is check your minerals levels and sometimes it can be due to a defficiency ... sending love ❤️

Natalie :
this is very helpful because I was thinking about the coil but I tried the pill and I had a hormone sensitivity mad emy pmdd worse and now I go no option to get pmdd treated because of the sensitivity to change in hormones in my brain that's makes pmdd worse it really sticks there not much options out there

I had the Merina coil for 5 years, periods stopped, very rarely spotted, the adult cystic acne went & my mood dramatically improved. Still got the headache, cramps & back pain though, like a phantom period kind of.
Having it put in was like having a kitchen knife shoved up there, it was a BIATCH! A few days to settle & I was good as new

I’ve always been offered anaesthesia…and had someone whose job is just to hold my hand and talk to me to distract me throughout the day. Why would they not offer this across the board??!?!😭

I take SSRIs during my luteal phase only and it’s been like night and day for my PMDD. I quite literally felt like I was losing my mind before

have you tried taking antihistamine the week before your period for the mood swings, I found it actually helps 💜

Before I got my coil my mum said best contraceptive ever, cause after that you won’t want anything else going up there 🙃 she was not wrong!

absolutely check out SSRIs for PMDD. It helps A LOT!!

Alakazash :
A few particular SSRI's have been found to be very helpful with PMDD, and they can be taken just during luteal rather than full time and potential still have benefits due to the way they interact with PMDD mood-related symptoms as opposed to how they interact with generalized depression (and the imbalance of neurotransmitters involved in depression) - have a friend who's had a lot of luck with one of those options recently and her PMDD was BAD.

I’m getting it put in during my laparoscopy for endo on the 16th, I’m really nervous that it’s not gonna work for me even tho it ‘fixed’ everything for my mum. I’m just glad I’ll be under anaesthetic for it rather than awake tbh 😭

Mags | Cake Witch ✨ :
I’ve found antihistamines really helped my PMDD mood symptoms - OTC H1 plus famotidine on prescription from my GP. For me the coil was not it, I wouldn’t personally recommend it

Xtine :
My body tried to give birth to the copper coil, the implant made me clinically depressed, the regular pill I can’t take cause of my migraines, the one I could take lengthened my periods and extended my depression. Skyn condoms and possible endo are keeping me baby free and therapy is attempting to hold together my sanity. I’ve accepted I will cry everyday in the lead up to my periods 🤷🏾♀️

I have the merina for focal adenmyoma, I had numbing gel applied when I had mine fitted (uk) the lady said she would never fit one without it and I didn't feel it. always ask for pain relief if having it fitted it's your right.

I’m on sertraline for the emotional symptoms- it’s an absolute game changer!! But the physical symptoms are still awful. I could not take extra period days however light the flow - but did the coil help with the cramps, bloating, headaches, fatigue, dizziness? Thank you for raising awareness ❤️
