Reply to "Menses and pouch"

I HATED the Mirena. Gave me completely bizarre panic attacks. Supposed to be "local" hormones, but my gyn nurse says she had other women with similar issues, likely from the hormones. They say it gets better, but I couldn't wait it out. Have a friend who LOVED it, though. You never know.

Copper IUD made me bleed for 2 weeks straight. Could never get it to chill/regulate. Ended up iron deficiency anemic.

But low dose BCP helps so much. My ovulation pain is *killer* it's so bad, especially on the left. I can't even bear down to poop, hurts so bad, for about 3-4 days. Hurts even down my IT band there, can barely walk when it would happen. Pouch gets crazy, vacillating even to constipation, just feel like I want to sit on the toilet constantly.  And that's ovulation for me without BCP!  My gyn nurse who is super said it's probably because I'm older (44), these are likely my last ditch wonky eggs trying hard, plus lots of scar tissue. I only one other time in my life was on BCP, when I got married, for about 2ish years. Never thought I'd be on stuff again, as my cycles were easy-peasey, til recent times.
