Severly heavy period - help! :(
Questions, thoughts, and opinions welcome! Sorry male race, this one's for the girls.... About two years ago, I had a miscarriage, which was my third, in fact. I have had 3 live births, 2 natural and one c-section. After my last miscarriage, I felt my depression kicking in, I stopped eating, and my sleep was also affected. After about 3 weeks of this, I got an IUD put in..... 2 years later, I am about 70 lbs heavier, and unhappy, more depressed than ever. I have changed my diet about as often as a rat mates. I have increased my water intake, watch what I put in my mouth, and walk daily. What am I doing wrong?? Could it be my Mirena? It seems as though I conitnue to gain weight rather than shed it... Now, my menstrual cycle lasts about 10-12 days, my pad has to be changed about every hour and a half, and I even have severe clotting... Is there anything anyone can suggest? These mood swings and fatigue, I'm just not having it anymore.

Anyone out there have tips for easing PMS without overdoing the pain meds and sleeping pills?
