Baby boy symptoms and conditions

Hi all, I just turned 20 in April and I had the Mirena inserted at the beginning of May 2009. At first I didn't stop bleeding for about 3 or 4 months. My OB/GYN told me that this was normal. So I went on with it and since then I have been feeling hungry all the time, I am constipated and when I do go to the bathroom it feels like I am pooping out razor blades, my shoulder just recently started hurting so bad that I can barely move it. I feel very irritable all the time, I have no sex drive, I am depressed, I am getting to be so moody that my fiance feels like I am mentally abusing him. Not to mention I just had my precious little girl and I get so frustrated with her when I know it's not her fault. I have NEVER been this way with babies. I couldn't imagine hurting her physically, and after reading everyone else's side effects I am seriously concerned about my Mirena...Should I get it removed or am I just stressed out because of other things in my life??? Please write back and tell me your opinion.

P.S... My main concern is my baby...She doesn't deserve this...

I'm 20 years old, a wife and a mother to a beautiful 1 1/2 old baby boy. I've been on the NR for 4 days now, before that I was on the Depo-Shot for 1 1/2 yrs. I choose to get on the Depo b/c i got pregnant with my son while I was on the pills. So far I've been experiencing REALLY bad breast tenderness, and Swollen nipples along with BAD veins going around my nipples...and I have MORE discharge coming out of my nipples( Even before I got on the NR i had some discharge and milk that never dried up from having my son ) Is this normal???? My chest hurts soooo damn bad that i have to hold my chest and keep my arms from brushing against them. I could understand getting side effects later, but not this soon....maybe I'm just crazy, but this really hurts, and the veins aren't very attractive. Not to mention, I have really bad nausea. If anyone could please reply to me, and let me know if this is normal or not, I would really appreciate it a lot.

I am getting my mirena removed today, It has been nothing but trouble. I have hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety for no reason, i always had anxiety but this is awful I can't stand it. I started seeing a shrink, now I come on here a couple of weeks ago and OMG its has to be the mirena. Also the facial hair is unbelievable. My husband and I fight constantly, I feel so bad I have been awful. Weight gain is awful, I had a baby boy 11 months ago, these kind of symptoms should be gone already!!

Im glad i found this site!! I had my mirena inserted June 19, 2008. Its my first time to use contraceptives, and i choose Mirena, at first i was in doubt, but i said, im gonna give it a try, so i did. Im 31 years old, had a baby boy last March 3, 2008. The insertion was ok i don't have any problem.
Then my period came....usually my period last 4 days or so...some of the side effects of mirena is spotting ..so i thought 1 week the most..my period last almost 7 weeks and smells like a rusty metal, it wasn't heavy bleeding but light bleeding, sometimes it gets dark brown, like its going away, then become light red again, on and off, it was

Just an update. Went to FDA.gov and submitted a complaint and then called Merck and told them as well. The rep I spoke with sent me to the prescribing information, how am I supposed to know about any of this? I am not the Doctor, I can't prescribe meds! She pointed out that this the mood changes is in the info...that I don't get b/c I am not the doctor, duh! Anyway I just wanted to vent and tell about our experience. Will give an update tomorrow after I talk to the ENT. I have also decided to take him off of any and all allergy meds for a good long time. I would rather wipe a runny nose all day and have my happy baby boy back then to have to battle a monster...

Hi guys,
I came to this forum after a client at our firm told me to check out whats happening with singular. I am not a lawyer, but I am a secretary for a med mal firm and I can tell you that we have already started taking these cases. I saw a few questions posted about whether you had to wait 9 months for the investigation to finish, but that doesn't stop you from filing suit. If it were my baby boy, I would switch meds, but if you can't--make sure you journal EVERYTHING. Take videos of outbursts, etc. We have one client who's son is self mutilating after using singular. If thats happening to you, try to document the episodes. Like I said, im not a lawyer, but I work for some so I can answer a lot of questions and I would be more than willing to help. I am so disgusted by what I have read. Please email me if you have any legal questions, etc. If i can't answer them, my boss will and if its a medical question, we have a staff nurse so I will give her a call. Again, I am so sorry for what everyone is going through. I pray to god I can help in some way.

Well I started a brown discharge Last Thursday and had called my doctor to schedule my appointment for the following day to receive my shot. The weird thing was I started on my 24th day, when I always seem to start on my 35th day. That evening my husband and I had sex, normally it helps me start the heavy flow, but this time there was nothing. I went to the doctor bright eyed and bushy-tailed that morning and explained the situation. Not even two weeks before I had come in to talk about my options I was 10lbs lighter. She found it kind of odd that I gained that much weight and she thought I might be pregnant, but the pee test came back negative. So, she decided to give me the shot anyway. Well, it has been 5 days now and no spotting and definitely no flow. Just heavy discharge which I was having before the shot and bloated too. I had breast tenderness before I received the Depo-Shot, but of course it has increased sense than. I have had more back pain after sitting for long periods. I feel nauseated, but get relief after eating a small meal. Thirsty all the time and always tired. I can't say I am depressed, because I have been on Paxil and Hydroxyz for the past three months. There is a possibility I could be pregnant, because I am married to a man who refuses to wear condoms. With any medication comes risks, and at this time in my life I believe I am truly blessed to have a beautiful healthy baby boy and don't need another. I do say if God wants me to have another one he will make it happen. Even though I am in this situation, with all these side effects, there is nothing I can do about it now. Whats done is done, there is no reversing it. With any chemical you put in your body you take the risk of some side effect good or bad. We just always hope for the good. So I guess basically I am saying that yes I have some side effects, but what drug doesn't give you some kind of side effect. It seems a lot of people are complaining about weight gain. I can tell you most of it is water weight, you can take care of it with an herbal diuretic and if you want to go on a diet where you eat every two to three hours healthy I would recommend ****** It truly works, trust me I know. Good Luck everyone and Blessings to All.

IF YOUR UTERUS IS STILL CONTRACTING POST-PARTUM WAIT TO HAVE THE MIRENA IUD PUT IN!!!
I had Mirena put in me the end of September, 6 weeks after my son (my second child) was born. I liked the idea of not having to think about taking a pill everyday and a very light or no period. At my one month check-up, to see if the IUD was still in the proper position, my doctor thought the string seemed too high so, he did an ultrasound to see it's position. He was having a hard time seeing exactly were it was so, sent me to the hospital for a better ultrasound picture. At the hospital they took ultrasound pictures as well as x-rays to determine the position... sure enough the Mirena had moved out of my uterus. Besides the cramping at the time of insertion and for about a week following, I have no pain or other side-effects. My doctor told me I had to have it surgical removed - a tiny camera would go into my belly button to take it out. I'm scheduled to go into the hospital in a few weeks to remove the IUD -- I can't believe I have to surgically have it removed! The worst part is that if I had all the information about this product I wouldn't be having surgery. One of the side effects in the Mirena pamphlet is something about uterus perforation - meaning the IUD moves out of the uterus. What you're not told is how this happens. My doctor now tells me this can happen if the uterus is still contracting after giving birth. That's why they wait six weeks post-partum -- hopefully long enough for the contractions to stop. I knew my uterus was still contracting -- I still feel it almost every time I breastfeed my baby boy. So, women, if you are considering the Mirena IUD after just giving birth, WAIT until you are sure your uterus is done contracting... the last thing you want to do is go back to the hospital to have this thing surgically removed!!! Well, I better start pumping now to store-up enough milk for my baby while I spend the entire day in the hospital without him ;o{

THIS IS NOT A SIDE EFFECT BUT A QUESTION
(I wish to keep this confidential, thank you)

I took Vasodilan - 20mg - 2 every 4 hours for 3 months in 1979. I was having premature labour and after the 3 months stay in hospital, my baby boy was born, full term and healthy.
I have been wondering ever since (for reasons of my own) if there were any side effects for him that would surface later in life, eg. any changes that would affect his body or mind, etc,
I know at that time, this drug, I am not sure if it was only experemintal as I was also taking another drug to mature his lungs, not sure the name of this drug.
I would really appreciate it if you could give me a bit of info on this as I have been wondering for years and found this site today.
Thank you
