Hi! So I just got the IUD Mirena maybe a month ago, and I was not really told about any emotional side effects or anything. It was portrayed as the best option since the hormones are just supposed to effect the uterine lining?

Well I am 3 months postpartum and I am having a hard time telling if its that or the Mirena. At minimum I feel like it is making it worse. They also said it didn’t cause weight gain since it is localized to the uterus but I am questioning that as well. Anyone have experiences like this right after getting the mirena inserted? I am becoming more depressed and I wasn’t before this at 2 months postpartum. Just not sure what to blame and if i should just have it removed or wait?
