Re: No Period but having PMS symptoms?
I had my daughter when i was a few months shy of turning 18, so i decided that i didn't want to take the chance of getting pregnant again so young, so my husband and i did research and found that mirena was the best way for me to go, or so we thought.
I started to have pain during sex, and the string would actually cut my husband, even after the string was trimmed 2x (ouch!><),had no libido, vaginal dryness, weight gain and on top of it all, i also experienced anxiety and depression. i had to quit breastfeeding my daughter,not by choice, just dried up (doctor said it wasn't because of mirena, but i suspect it was)but 3 years later, i still have a little white/grayish leakage from my breasts...
...i had no period while i was on it (which like you, i WISHED i did) which was for almost 3 years, and almost six months post-removal, still no period. the day after the removal i had painful what i'll call 'a-not-a-period' after it was removed for about 3-4 days. (i call it that because i think it was just from the removal...And, besides the no period part, there was a big improvement in most of my symptoms almost instantly! if the pill worked fine for you, i would encourage you to do so again, to try to avoid any more symptoms or worsening of your symptoms...
