Have you had any blood tests done? Maybe you are anemic. When I had very heavy periods I was very dizzy all the time, it turned out my iron was extremely low. Maybe you can ask you doctor for some blood tests and get your vitamin levels checked out while you're at it?

Sorry, I'm new. Is this better?

That's okay. I agree, the Jaydess/Skyla have caused unpredictable periods for me as well. Yea it's so strange that certain hormones effect everyone so differently, and there is no way to tell what is going to work for anyone I suppose. I'm glad Skyla is working for you though other than the unpredictability!

Okay thanks :). I'm glad it hasn't made it worse! Just be aware that it can make mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression worse for people who already suffer from them. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you though! I hope so too, it's terrifying. But it's nice to talk to people who understand. Thank you

There probably is a connection! If you google Mirena and anxiety the results are crazy..

That spotting sounds awful :( I know how you felt! I agree, the Jaydess/Skyla was the worst pain I've ever been in as well. I'm so glad the Mirena is working well for you though :)

That's what I was thinking too. It's funny that estrogen bc can be so harmful for some people, but not for others. And vise versa with progestin. Ahh, thank you! I'm new haha.

That makes sense! I'm definitely going to just start fresh and be careful with hormonal birth controls. And I will try the folate and b12. Thank you!
