I've noticed the same thing with only spotting a little most cycles. However, I haven't noticed any bad PMS symptoms. Then again, I've been on hormonal birth control for years and years and I have pretty bad PMS symptoms when I'm NOT on it. I'm happier on birth control. Before getting pregnant, I was on Yaz to help with some of those symptoms (bloating, moody, breakouts, etc.). Honestly, my symptoms feel better now on Mirena than they did before. Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2699079 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 20:31:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2699079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any more stories to add to this? I've been feeling pretty bad for a while and have had mirena for about a year. No true periods, just light spotting for a day or two. I'm starting to think it's related to my really bad mood weeks. Did having it removed help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2620336 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 18:46:38 +0000 SweetCaroline 2620336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmmm...this might be me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2620309 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 17:55:42 +0000 JennyD 2620309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well... I felt kinda crabby all the time. Like, proper raging PMS would have been preferable because at least it would have been over and done in a week and I'd know what was going on. </p> <p>Also, I had like zero interest in sex the whole time I had it (close to 3 years). I felt weird all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2620221 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:34:41 +0000 HLK208 2620221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, PMS was way worse while I wasn't on mirena. I had bad cramping, I would feel super down and angry. </p> <p>Now, I know it's coming when I get more irritated than usual. I don't have a full period but just spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2620216 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:23:54 +0000 maddyz 2620216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really didn't like the way I felt emotionally and hormonally on the Mirena. It took me a long to to realize it because the changes where subtle. But I found I was slightly depressed, and sad and prone to spilling over emotionally. Hormonal birth control is just not for me.... even a low dose like the Mirena. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2620203 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:04:19 +0000 Rocker2014 2620203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, everything you wrote above is exactly my experience! I've had it in for almost a year and a half and while I barely spot, the mood swings are ridiculous recently!</p> <p>eta. I'm not on anti-depressants, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pms-with-the-mirena#post-2620185 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 14:49:39 +0000 BeachMama 2620185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had the Mirena for about a year now. It took a while, but for the most part my periods have stopped, though I do get spotting once in a while. This past weekend I had a very light period/spotting for 2-3 days. I also had crazy mood swings (I really lost it on my kids and husband), felt pretty depressed, etc. I have also been on anti-depressants for the past year and a half.</p> <p>At the time I didn't really connect the spotting with my crazy mood, but now I think maybe they were related. It was really the lowest I've felt in a long time and kinda threw me for a loop.</p> <p>If you have a Mirena, or other IUD, do you still experience PMS and/or mood swings? I'm wondering if I had a crazy hormone fluctuation since this was the first (sort of) period I've had in a while. </p>
