I can’t take the emotional volatility- I’m fine, then super anxious, then fine again, then apathy, then TOTAL rage because my son turned a page of his bedtime story book a few seconds too soon. Yesterday I flew into a rage because of what I IMAGINED my husband COULD say. The day before the cat copped it because she was sleeping on my jumper and snagged it with her claw. I’ve always been moody but never rage.

I expected side effects, and I’m happy to deal with the cramps, bleeding, headaches, insomnia. But these extreme mood swings involving my kids? Surely this can’t be a normal and acceptable side effect during a prolonged settling period? I don’t think I’d survive months of this

I had the Mirena fitted on Wednesday morning and as I type this it’s Sunday morning.

almost immediately I noticed mood changes - peaks of anxiety followed by calm. I know these feelings well as I have a history of postpartum anxiety and it feels very similar - teeth clenching, shaky, obsessive thoughts. I don’t feel depressed, just highly anxious. I also have physical PMS-like symptoms - back ache, loose bowels etc

has anyone experienced similar? did it improve? or is this an early indication that’s it’s incompatible.
