Did you get bloated right away after the IUD was inserted or did it take a few weeks or months?
I started to bloat shortly after, a few weeks if I remember correctly. I was too concerned with the major cramping and bleeding I was dealing with to notice. Also, I forgot to mention that I have just this month started to break out, I have never ever had an acne problem. I feel like the bloating is always bad but gets much much worse before a period, even if I don't get one, it is just around that time. I look five months pregnant. The depression/mood swings are progressively worsening each month, this is my major concern. I was told I could not be on the pill because of my history of a blood clot, but there must be some significant hormones being released by the Mirena. I never had any issues with PMS or mood swings. Also, I am starting to consider lying to my OB/GYN next week and say I want another baby because I am already convinced she is going to dismiss my concerns.
