I'm 22 years old and since I turned 20 I started noticing that I was actually having PMS symptoms and more issues during my period. I now have pretty major cramps during my first 3 days of my period, and about a week before my period starts my breasts hurt so bad and enlarge a whole cup size or more. I also am super sensitive the week before, of, and sometimes the week after and will cry over little things. Is this normal?
I am not on BC, and have an appt set up for an evaluation for an IUD. I used to not want the Mirena b/c hormones kind of scare me, but I read its so low that it might not matter. Then all of this has been getting worse, and I started to think that maybe hormones would be a good thing because it would help even me out. Does anyone have any advice, do you think it would even me out or make me worse since its progestin and not estrogen? THANKS

The Mirena IUD is not likely to help with your PMS symptoms unless it suppresses ovulation.
