I’m having a really hard time right now. I have been miserable the last year or so and all signs point to my hormones. I’ve had the Mirena IUD since Dec 2014. In the last 6 months I’ve been having increasing sensitivity (nipple and clitoral) to the point where I have to cover my nipples in the shower. I have basically no sex drive at all.

My vaginal dryness is off the charts. I’m not even going to get into the mood swings and acne. So, I talked with my doctor and we decided to take out the iud and try something new. I went in for my removal last week and the gyno did a pap. My results came back abnormal and I can’t get a follow up appt until mid October. I know paps come back abnormal all of the time but I just feel like I can’t catch a break. Plus, today’s my boyfriends birthday and I couldn’t make it through having sex because it was too painful. Ugh. This is all so frustrating. Thanks for listening.
