It really sucks. I also have Mirena and my periods are attempting to stop so I can feel the bloat affecting my bladder. It hurts. Literally sitting on the toilet is the best relief. It's like being pregnant! They haven't ran tests because my dr wants me to write a pee journal and liquid intake journal for 2 weeks which hasn't worked out. I'm just afraid because I read there's not much treatment or help. But I also don't know if it's really the problem. It does suck when people don't understand but I also have fibromyalgia so I'm used to people not being understanding.

I actually have that.. It's horrible. If yours is like mine, it will flare up then go away. I haven't had a flare up in years, knock on wood. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Have they ran a lot of tests to make sure that's what is causing it?

It is very frustrating and not everyone understands. I'm here if you have any questions.

Yes, I do have IC

I would get a second opinion! Can't hurt to make sure!

Damn. This is making me feel worse haha I'm going to look into getting a 2nd opinion from another dr because the one I've been seeing is the one who randomly performed my cesarean. He honestly makes me feel uncomfortable. Might be because he's very good looking haha no but seriously I get a strange vibe from him so I feel like he might be biased on this issue.

No. Sorry I'm no help. But I'll bump for you.
