Hello everyone! I got the Mirena IUD about 1.5 months ago. It seemed like the best option because the horomones in BC pills caused me to have anxiety, depression, gain weight and break out.  Every week since the insert of my IUD my symptoms from it seem to get slightly better, but this week has been discouraging. I'm bloated, my breasts hurt, I have cramps and just don't feel like myself. I've been told it takes time to adjust to the hormones. How long did it take for you to adjust to the IUD? Did the bloating and excess water weight go away for you? I'm trying not to throw in the towel too soon if I shouldn't.
