I had mine fitted back in July of 2006. My side effects where severe cramping after sex, and sometime for no reason at all. I was disappointed that instead of my period getting lighter, it mostly stayed the same and was longer(7 - 14 days). After of putting up with this for a few years I got it removed April 14 2009. It was unpleasant and the cramping was pretty painful afterwards. The day after I started my second period (I just had it the week before removal). I had heavy bleeding for four days. I thought I was done, but then five days later I got another period that has yet to stop. Is this normal? My doctor said that it would be crazy until my body adjust. But this is too crazy! Has anyone else had this happened after their removal....I feel so drained.

I am so glad I found this website. I had the Mirena inserted on April 14, 2008. Since then I've been having anxiety attacks and I'm always tired no matter how much sleep I get. My mom had an accident 2 days after Mother's Day (May 13th) and passed away on July 17, 2008 so I thought my issues were related to everything going on with her. On July 24th (the day after her funeral) I was transported from my doctor's office to the emergency room via an ambulance because I was having chest pains for about 7 hours. After 2 EKGs, and blood work, they could not find anything wrong (thank goodness) and I made the doctors aware that I had the Mirena. I haven't had chest pains since then but I googled Mirena side effects because I still have bouts of anxiety and I am extremely tired. After reading the posts I think my symptoms may be related to the Mirena. I will have a talk with my OB/GYN and see what she thinks.

I posted previously on April 14, 2004. I should have mentioned that I experienced most of the side effects listed in other postings, but only mentioned the side effects I did not see in the forum. Two more I haven't seen mentioned: the Prednisone "hump" at the top of my back...it is a pad of fat that builds up the longer you are on Prednisone. The other side effect did not show up right away: Osteopenia, which is the stage between normal bone mass and Osteoporosis. I am now taking Fosomax to help prevent further bone loss.

ON APRIL 14, 2003 MY WIFE WENT TO A DOCTORAND HE GAVE HER SOME LEVAQUIN FOR AN EAR INFECTION. SHE TOOK THE MEDICINE FOR SEVEN DAYS AND STOPPED. SHE BEGAN TO SLEEP ALOT BUT STILL GOT UP EVERYDAY AND WENT TO WORK (SHE'S AN RN). SHE ALSO ON THE SEVENTH DAY HAD JAONAS OR THE COLOR ORANGE OF THE EYES. SHE WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ON THE 24TH AND TO A LIVER SPECIALIST ON THE NEXT DAY 25TH AND NEEDED A TRANSPLANT LIVER ON THE NIGHT OF THE 25TH AND DIED ON THE 27TH AT 5AM. LEAVING HER HUSBAN AND TWO CHILDREN 7 AND 8 YEARS OLD WE WISHED THE DOCTOR WOULD HAVE EXAMINED HER BEFORE GIVEN HER 500MG OF LEVAQUIN.
PS.....NEED LEGAL ADVICE.

I got mirena implanted April 14. insertion was terrible- if having a baby hurts that much i think i will pass- and had cramping til the next day, but other than that it seems good so far. i was on depo provera for 8 years, was off birth control since my last shot in august until now, and don't feel significantly different on mirena. i am kind of tired and moody recently but am about due for my period so it could be because of that. i'm really surprised to see these kinds of terrible symptoms being described, but want to point out these symptoms can happen with most birth controls. i felt low sex drive and some depression on the shot, as well as experiencing weight gain, but i've lost about 15 lbs since stopping the shot and haven't gained any back so far.
