Aunts symptoms and conditions

yea im eighteen and got mirena inserted last year December when i was seventeen. i've never had a baby so i was worried that it would hurt a lot. but my mom and aunts pressed on for me to get it done. so i agreed because they claimed it was the best birth control ever. the actual insertion wasn't at all a difficult experience. but as soon as i got into the car and sat down excruciating painful cramps would hit me in waves. that has to be the worst pain i've felt yet to this day. at work i'd b on the ground crouched over trying to wait the pain out. i could have cried if i'd allowed myself. soon i became hooked on taking advil everyday to escape the pain. it worked as long as i remembered the little pill every morning. the cramp last from December to march. they are gone now i guess. and ever since a month after insertion i've been having odorous discharge. its very embarrassing so i use tampons to 'plug' the discharge from going out. i realize it probably isn't the smartest thing to do but i have no choice.

I've been on Avaine for 2 months now... And I'm feeling so crappy right now. I've always had an irregular period, where I would miss a month or two then it would come back with a vengeance and last for almost a month in a half. I never had cramping until I started taking this pill. Last month it was so unbearable I was in the fetal position at my aunts house. She tried desperately to comfort me but nothing helped. I ended up going to the emergency room. I was given morphine and some other pain meds. The doctors thought it was my appendix at first so I was given an ultrasound and a cat scan. My ovaries were fine and everything was fine. Six hours in the emergency room and I was told it was really bad menstrual pain. How lame is that? Anywho I went to Australia with my bf and well yea you know... Now I think I'm pregnant... so thanx Avaine. Not sure what to do anymore, afraid if I stop I will most definitely become pregnant. I'm going to take a test.. not ready to be a mom. Cross your fingers for mr guys!

I have had endo for about 9 years now. 6 surgeries later, I decide to try the Lupron Shot. I took the 3 month dose twice. I did not experience any side effects until the 2nd month, which included hot flashes, mood swings, sleepiness, no interest in sex, weight gain, horrible headaches, loss of memory, pains in all my bones, breast tenderness, blured vision and so on. I am now off the shot after being on it for 6 months, and I am worse now then I was then. My pain is back from the Endo, my stomach feels like there is a huge ball in it, I have extremes of sever diarrhea to constipation. I feel like Im going to throw up every other hour..sometimes I do. My bones hurt worse than ever. I still have no memory and I cannot concentrate very well. My Dr. will not allow me to have a hyst because he feels I am to young. I am 27 married with a child..how much older do I have to be to get some relief? So, yes I liked Lupron, it did help. but I would rather get this crap taken out than go through all of this again.

I had my Mirena put in January 2004 after my daughter was born. My doctor said it was the best thing for me since I had a stroke 6 days after I had her and they didn't know why.. he said he wanted to research about my situation before he would tell me if I should have more children. I love my ob-gyn, he is great but he didn't tell me about all the side effects. I gain a whole lot of weight, (was in size 5 when I got pregnant, now 20) I thought I was just fat because it was a family thing.. my aunts gained after baby's too. but not like me... my breasts won't stop growing.. I can't stand it, was a full B, now I am passing a DD and I just don't want to go up another size, mood swings, oh my goodness, acne(yep), didn't have a high sex drive before, but now it completely gone, there is more but I just figured it was my imagination.. I am gonna get it taken out soon, of course my 5 years is almost up now.

I MYSELF HAVE NEVER TAKEN PITRESSIN HOWEVER MY GRANDMOTHER WAS ON IT FOR YEARS TO TREAT HER DIABETES INSIPIDUS. NOW 45 YEARS LATER HERE I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WEATHER THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE HEARING LOSS OF MY MOTHER AND MY TWO AUNTS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. IF YOU OR ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER PLEASE E-MAIL ME BACK.
