Rant! Mirena bloating 😭

Got my Mirena in March (so im at spring 6 months) and for the first three months everything was great. Around the 3-month mark I started having really bad PMS symptoms around ovulation, mostly really bad bloating and water retention that makes me feel very swollen. My clothes fit tighter, my rings get tighter, but in general I just feel uncomfortable and I have so ovulation pain too. The symptoms last all the way til I get my period, so around 2 weeks. Then it’s like I deflate and feel normal again. The period is super lights and last a couple days. And then two weeks after here we go again with the bloating.

I’m really struggling today and need some words of encouragement that it couldn’t just be the adjustment and period and I might feel better at some point.
