    Question What do you think??

    For a couple of weeks I've been feeling OFF....not myself at all. I've had BT done and am waiting for the results but I fully expect them to come back negative.

    Physically I've had AF-like pains, lower back ache, blinding headaches, tiredness and now the latest is tender boobies. My mind has been all over the show....mood swings terribly

    I'm leaning heavily towards something hormonal. And I know from reading this you will think I'm pregnant instantly.

    BUT I have a Mirena in, and have done so now for 16 months. I did POAS a couple of weeks ago but nothing. I've never had any trouble like this before, and I'm not sure how the Mirena could be contributing as from what I understand it's a constant slow release of hormone....so I'm not sure what could have changed to cause these symptoms?

    Hun, that is really interesting. I went through the same thing a few months back - a few months after having my mirena removed. I never found out what is was - my bt came back normal - but it was very real! I'd love to know what the cause is.

    The Mirena is supposed to last for 5 years - and I only had mine in for one a bit years. And my hormone levels in the bt looked ok - yet I felt totally hormonal. It's quite bizarre.

    Bec, the good news for you if it's the same thing that I went through, is that it didn't last. The moods maybe, but the headaches etc did stop. I hope it goes away for you too.

    Well I rang the Dr for my results expecting them to be normal and he wants to see me :s

    since I'm still seeing my old GP who is almost an hour away I didn't make an appointment until next week but now I'm worried, lol.

    hopefully it's just iron tablets or something
