I actually kept my Mirena in for the allotted 5 years, the whole time thinking that there was something wrong with me, but not really putting too much blame on the hormones. I finally had mine removed two months ago and HOLY CRAP!!!! I am a normal, sane person again. It is beyond weird that I let myself feel like that for sooo long! I hope you start feeling normal again, soon!

OH, HAI.

That made NO sense. What I meant was: I’m going to hope my husband doesn’t see your comment. More coffee.

I am NOT going to hope my husband doesn’t see your comment. :0)

1) He’ll get mad at me for paying to have it removed.
2) He’ll schedule a vasectomy IMMEDIATELY.

But really, thanks for coming by! Ha! :0)

Stumbled across from Aiming Low. I’m instantly a fan!

Pulled my Mirena out myself. Ops. (Couldn’t wait for the doctor- sick of the acne, horrible PMS, etc) There was NO pain. Good news, right? Ended up pregnant within seconds (okay days, really). Oopsie will be joining our family in February! Be very careful!

Have you thought about a copper IUD? It has no hormones.

I had mine for nearly 5 years. My period flow did increase slightly and my cramping was a little worse… however, I went 5 years without any other side effect. I only had it removed so we could make a baby. I have already talked to the OB about how soon I can have a new one put in after I deliver.

I sure hope that is the solution! Sounds like you’ve been feeling pretty bad. Ugh.

The more I am reading about this – the more I am thining it may not be the best decision?! I created a blog to also document my journey as I know everyone’s body reacts differently! But, I see a lot of consistencies amongst the complaints and lemme just say…I am not looking forward to the next 4 years 51 weeks provided I last that long. If you would like to follow along with me…please do so.

Oh, no. That is too bad. These things are heaven sent.

Mine hasn’t given me nearly the problems that b/c pills did. Those turn me into the devil.

I hope that with the pain & expense you’re going through, this will solve it.

I also have Mirena and I have had it for about two months. I have not noticed anything specific in the way of side effects. In fact I have not had any spotting, or any periods for that matter. I am breastfeeding so maybe that is what is doing that. On the other hand I have not lost any of the pregnancy weight that I have gained and I have about 40 lbs to go so I don’t know if its the Mirena or the breastfeeding, but good for you for doing what is best for you!! I hope it takes away the crazy!! I would send wine but how about some Baileys??

Anyways Good Luck !
