google the class action lawsuit for mirena. i joined in. so should you. it has ruined a part of the happiest time of my life. don't let them get away with it.

Hi, I am a 36yr old mother of 2 boys aged 14 & 12yrs. I had the mirena fitted in 1 1/2 years ago.. had all the bleeding at the beginning, but unfortunately it carried on for months. had very heavy bleeding in months 7 & 8, so heavy it left me feeling nauseous and faint. then it went back to 3 weeks of bleeding out of 4. and thats now how long i bleed for all the time. have heaps of discharge (eww), zits, feeling constantly like crying over nothing. Had hard cyst, which went on its own. got referred to a gyno (cause of heavy bleeding) which i saw 3 weeks ago. he has no idea why i had the heavy bleeding, has no idea why i am bleeding 3 weeks out of four (not heavy) but he is now booking me in for a vaginal hysterectomy.!! I still have the mirena in, only because i am told that if they take it out, my periods will be a lot worse than before i had the mirena inserted!! argghhhh. anyone else being put forward for a hysterectomy??

*Never had the Mirena*
Thinking about getting it.

Here is what I HAVE had with the Paraguard

Anyone else switch from the copper to the Mirena? Better or Worse? Recommend?

I got the copper IUD in Feb 08. I hate it!! My periods are out of control I have to use the super plus tampons and pads b/c after about an hour and a half I will start bleeding on myself if I am not able to go to the bathroom and change it. I have never had to use anything over a regular tampon until now. I have had nothing, but sever problems with cyst on my ovaries and the cramping that brings me to my knees. I have been trying to give my body enough time to adjust to the paraguard but I am calling it quits next month. I can not take it anymore. In July I have broke out in these weird bumps all over my chest and back. I have NEVER had any problems with acne maybe a zit here and there. My periods last around 7 to 8 days. It lasted 4 before the IUD. I feel like I am always on edge which I believe that is b/c I am always in pain. It starts around a week before my period I will have SEVER pain in my ovaries it feels like someone is trying to pull them out. Not only am I bleeding more during my period I am sooo sore down there it feels swollen and sometimes even just walking brings pain. Most of the pain will last a week after my period stops. I have a few days a month where I feel ok. I have had it 7 months and it is not getting any better. I found this b/c I was looking to see if anyone has gone from the copper to the mirena and if it was better. I have sever mood swings, but I believe that’s how I deal with the pain a lot of the times. Not 100% sure though. If you like almost bleeding to death then I would recommend the copper IUD. I know the bleeding is heavier b/c there are times it seriously runs out of me like I was using the bathroom (not joking). I stay weak and always have headaches. Asking for this was the worst thing I could of done.

Thanks

Not recomending Jolessa. I have had horrible pms anyways but now I miss a pill by a short time and start spotting. No acne problems at all but bloating and not as happy as before definetly.

I am on my third moth of the Lupron shot! I was basically three choices as to how to take care of my severe Endo and severe Anemia caused by the Edno those three choices were 1. Do nothing and eventually bleed to death.
2. Take Lupron and 3. Have a Hysterectomy! Okay I am 27 years old and bleeding to death from a period is not an option I was even willing to ponder (what idiots for giving me such an option), having a hysterectomy was something I thought about but then after doing much research I decided No and I did research Lupron and although I read horrible things I felt that was really my only option to some hope of relief and I also thought, I am a big girl I can deal! Well I am dealing, I have not experienced a hot flash but I do have night sweats, headaches and feel sick to my stomach on a daily basis! The side effect that I really am suffering from is total hair loss. I mean I have hair on my head but I use to have the thickest hair and get so many compliments on it and now when I brush it, wash it, run my fingers through it or just put it up I literally will have a hand or brush full of hair. My hair was so thick I could not get it into a barette and I would have to use those think hair ties sometimes two hair ties and now I can use a kid hair tie and tye it once! Me and my baby niece who is 16 months old share hair tyes! I have done more research on Lupron since starting it and although I have not experienced many of the side effects listed that you could suffer a red flag went off when I read, it does not cure Endometriosis and there is really no cure, just pain management and so I am at the point where I believe I am going to stop and find alternatives myself and if that means going to GYNO after GYNO then so be it. The side effects I have suffered from are minimal however if the pain is going to return after I stop Lupron then why go through the pain of side effects? This is soley my opinion and I am posting to get it the madness of my chest that I allowed my Doctor the guy I pay take control of my health! I am now taking that control back.

I'm a 36 year old female who survived a DVT and pulmonary embolism.
I've been on warfarin for one year. I was diagnosed with a protein c
deficiency. (most likely congenital). I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my
PT\INR in between 2 and 3. My Doctor is a real jerk. I'm looking into see-
ing a different one. Anyway, my symptoms are: lightheadedness, hair
loss, weight gain(I'm hungry 24\7),fatigue,numbness in my hands and feet,
hot flashes,redness on my nose and cheeks, and some kind of rash on
my right ankle, tachycardia,headaches, and blurred vision. I never thought
life could suck this bad. I've been taking anywhere between 7.5mg to
15m.g\day. Oh yeah I forgot to mention the worse side effect of all:
My period for 7 to 10 days. The 3rd and 4th day being unbearable to take.
Of course my Doctor says your not bleeding to death because you're not
passing clots. What an ___!!! My sympathy's to all of you.

For the first time since my doctor perscribed Lupron for me, it has been terrible. The heavy bleeding, the anemia, the hair loss, the aches and pains, the headaches. I never had this problem in times past when I've used this before and it did not affect me to this magnitude. I have a history of endometriosis and fibroids, with 7 "lap scopes" and a myomectomy. I cannot explain why I've had such a terrible time with the injection this time.

Wow am I glad I found this site! My son has had blow out diapers with brick red stools since he started this drug. It looked like he was bleeding to death! Three or four stools a day. We will inform our pediatrician immediately.

The small rash everyone is talking about IS NOT A RASH. IT IS CAUSED BY A DEFICIENCY IN YOUR BLOOD PLATELETTE COUNT!! The platelettes are what gives your blood its clotting ability. hence people almost bleeding to death internally. The rash and bruising is actually called Perpea and is caused by ruptured capilaries because the blood is unable to clot. I had to take prednisone to supress my spleens immuno response to sulfameth in order to increase my platelette count. Sulfameth is a horrible medicine and anyone that is experiencing what appears to be a rash or spontaneous UNPAINFUL bruising needs to consult a physician immediately and have their platelette count checked.. IT IS NOT BRUISING, IT'S PERPEA AND LOW PLAETELETTE COUNT IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION.

I was prescribed sulfameth by a dermatologist to help dry out my oily skin as a teenager(15years ago). After a week of taking this medication orally, I noticed I had bruises that i could not remember any injury causing. At the time I had braces on my teeth, and one morning after noticing the bruises on my skin, i woke up and noticed blood blisters on the inside of my mouth and tongue! Sulfameth was the only medication i was taking at the time. I went to my dermatologist to get his opinion, after which he sent me immediately to the hospital. Turns out, I was on the verge of internally bleeding to death. I had to stay in the hospital for a week, where i was treated with a steroid to boost my red blood cell count because it was deathly low. Had i not noticed the bruises, and blood blisters in my mouth from the braces, I might not have known.

My sister bleed to death and we are trying to find out what happened.....have you heard of people bleeding to death on this new medicine???
