Not sure what to do? Thoughts and experiences please!

-Aug 2018 had the depo jab and had 2 subsequent ones at the 8 week intervals and period started 2 weeks later.

-My period has continued non-stop bar 3 to 5 days about 3 times since.

-Weight has piled on and boobs expanded

-Feelings/moods up and down. Want to be alone most of the time, find playing with my kids a massive effort, don't want husband to come near me and sometimes struggle to just get on with life

-Advised to go on Mirena. Insertion was beyond horrific (didn't manage natural births x2...but that's another story)

  • Bleeding continuously since the first jab Aug 2018

    -GP and gynae say let it settle, you can't put on weight and it's unlikely to cause probs that and shouldn't affect you!

    -Do I have it removed? I can't control my weight, feel gross, what's next?

    Thank you for reading...
