Mirena

I suffer with depression and anxiety and so was really worried about putting more hormones into my body as I thought this could make me feel worse. The IUS is a low dose of localised hormones which is why I decided to try it out. I was worried about having it fitted as I’d heard some horror stories but for me it was absolutely painless. Slight period type cramps afterwards for a day or so but that’s all. It has made my periods way lighter, there’s barely any need to wear tampons anymore and I hardly ever get period cramps (I used to get these really badly). It’s difficult to tell whether it’s had an impact on my mood due to my mental health difficulties but I don’t think it has had an affect. I know everyone is different and has different experiences but for me this was the perfect choice and I would definitely recommend!
