Kyleena has seriously improved my pain symptoms. I don’t have to miss work anymore. I haven’t taken a prescription pain killer in a few weeks (just some tylenol in the 7 days before my last period). My sciatica has quieted down almost 100%. My leg isnt going numb anymore. My iron levels and kidney values are back in the normal range.
BUT I’m having a bunch of other hormonal symptoms. I am chronically and seriously constipated, get bouts of severe fatigue almost daily, have had a noticeable loss of libido (not completely though), hot flashes at night, have gained weight and I’m severely bloated most of the time in my lower belly and thighs. I also notice mood changes - depressive-feeling, more explosive/impulsive, and cry easily. My skin and hair are dryer. My self confidence has been tanking. I still almost daily feel like shit, but in a less crippling way.
Had bloodwork done the other day and my estrogen is way too low, they even repeated the test. It is less than half of what it was in march (no IUD) and november (jaydess IUD). (this is all repeated at same time during cycle)
I am so frustrated. While I can function better I still dont feel good physically or mentally. Now I’m getting worried about bone loss. Can I add on an estrogen treatment? Will this just make my endo symptoms return? Will it make the contraceptive aspect of the IUD ineffective?
