PMDD: Birth control pills and hormonal IUD together?

Al

Hello sisters,

I have really terrible depression and anxiety around the coming of the monthly magical times.

Sure mood swings are the destiny of estrogen, but I get thoughts of self harm, migraines, and difficulty breathing sometimes and it really doesn’t get so fun. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Interesting thing is, I got prescribed birth control pills for the first time and I was pretty surprised that I am able to take them even with my hormonal IUD. 🧐 Apparently, hormonal IUD does not stop ovulation as other types of birth control (pills, Depo Provera, arm implant) do. 🙄 *insert surprised pikachu face*

Any ways, has any other ladies done such a thing for PMDD? I’m curious as to what the long term side effects of this would be. 🥺

The hormonal shit women have to put up with...
