A Question for the girls

[Nula]

Hello everyone I hope your all well.
[:I] Im a little embarrassed about asking this, and wasnt quite sure were to post it.
Do you find that when you have a bad month with panic attacks your periods are heavier?
Ive had my worst month this month for panic attacks and now my period is very very heavy. Which of course me being me is making me panic a fair bit.
Silly arent I

Hi Nula, I have a suggestion for all of you who suffer from heavy periods, PMT or extra anxiety related to that time of the month. Have you thought of having Depo injections? They are a contraceptive injection, which you normally have in the top of your leg, bum or back every 3 months. I have mine in my back, the nurse does it at my GP's surgery. After the 1st injection you may have a normal period for the first couple of months, but your periods stop altogether eventually. I don't bleed at all, I don't have any symptoms i.e. aching breasts, PMT, growling at the world, no symptoms whatsoever. If I had a love life it would be great lol!!! I'm also on prozac & diazepam & it doesn't interfere with my meds. Its worth a thought & the injections don't hurt.

There's only one down-side which is if you are thinking of becoming pregnant, it takes longer to get out of your system than an oral contraceptive would, so its suggested that you stop the injections 6 months before trying for a baby.

Apart from that, they're mega.

Les, xx
