Thanks Ladies for your responses. I am definitely going to get it taken out, but it seems like whenever I ask anyone about it, they are not as serious as I am - when I sat my DH down and chatted about how I have been feeling, he said that I act like that all the time and I am depressed and angry because I have put on so much weight, and should go on a diet instead... And that the mood swings are normal for me... Not this much. I mean, I have been getting random thougths of suicide, that I don't want my kids, that I should run away, that I am sh"t at how I am as a mother... ERg...
And when I talk to the clinic, and even when I put it in and raised concerns about my history of mood inbalance, they told me it would regulate it and that it was such a safe thing to be doing, and I really felt stupid for asking so many questions. Even when I rang yesterday she was like "Well, Nurse XXX sat you down for your education session - did you not listen? Did you not understand you will not be getting a period anymore? Do you need to come in again for that education session so you clearly understand??"

ERRR!!!

BTW - Mumma B - I love what you said about being unbalanced. That sounds just like me too!!

Trish - I followed that thread, and even brought that up with the nurse on the day - she told me that it probably wasn't true and that only 1 in every 1000 has complications...

Mummy of Many - that sounds like me - so bloated, so blah, and feeling sick. Even though I cannot eat gluten as a coeliac, it doesn't even relate to the symptoms of coeliac. I just feel like CR.P, I really look like it too. I used to have clear, nice skin, now it is dull and pimply. My hair is erg, gross, even though I wash it all the time. I am staying up so late, but sleeping heaps during the day. To be honest? I feel like I have just had a baby 3 days ago - you know that hollow, erg, feeling? Tired, greasy looking, still in pj's, baby belly? But my last bub is now 2 1/2 years old...
And my DH says he cannot notice a difference except I am more grumpy!! And he says I'm grumpy because I am getting FATTER... ARRRRRRRR!!!!!
