[Everything doTERRA] Re: Hormone issues

I'm out of current times with birth control and IUDs but when I saw this post I was compelled to tell you my story.  In the 1980s I had an IUD which rejected itself, I had to rush to a nearby hospital and have it removed.  In 1988, I had to have a hysterectomy.  The doctors told me I had fibroid uterus, that I had no pain tolerance, etc. until I was nearly bedridden and out of work, couldn't eat, go to the bathroom, or much of anything.  Finally, the drs agreed to do a hysterectomy saying they doubted this would solve my problems.  After the surgery, they told me that my uterus had been infected from the inside and enlarged from the inside out and was attached to my colon and intestines.  OH!  I'm glad I have no pain tolerance!  After two weeks, I was completely back to normal as if nothing had happened! The IUD had caused this to happen.  It nearly cost me my life.  Just be careful, is my recommendation.

I have a Mirena IUD, have had it for about a year and I have had numerous problems.  I've never done well on a hormone based birth control but my Dr assured me that this was so low on the hormone spectrum that it shouldn't cause me any problems.  Well it did!  I have gained about 25 lbs (if I LOOK at a french fry I get all bloated), I have horrific PMS, my breasts get sore and swollen every month, the cramps are out of this world and my period lasts for 7-14 days, sometimes with only a week in between.  I have considered having it removed but then I have to find another BC method so I thought I would try to reverse some of these symptoms with my oils.  I have been using solace everyday on my lower abdomen and ankles, whisper and slim and sassy on my feet...morning and night.  I just got the phytoestrogen this month and plan to start it tomorrow.  Any other suggestions?  Am I on the right track?  I haven't been doing oils for very long and I work a lot so I have tried to read and study when I can and this is what I have come up with.  The oils seem to help some...the solace has saved a few lives on a particularly bad PMS day but I just feel crappy all the time!
