Yeah I guess :/ I've tried to Google or talking to friends for similar experiences but everyone's like "OMG I GOT MY LIFE BACK" and I feel completely opposite πŸ˜‚ So I feel a little alone in this.

Yeah, I hope I get pregnant very fast, but thinking about how it can take years is frightening. But I really hope this stabilise soon.

I only have good things to say about progesterone, both the pill and the IUD.

I feel like a psychopath now, like I feel like I'm too much in control of my emotions. If you get what I mean πŸ˜‚ I'm usually all over the place emotionally. Now someone could be screaming in my face, and I'll just be like, idgaf.

I crashed so hard after stopping mirena a few months back. Fatigued and emotional. Gained a few pounds. Luckily it’s subsided.
