Counting down the days symptoms and conditions

weight gain (not being able to build muscle)
HORRIBLE MOOD SWINGS!
headaches
hungry all the time
depressed
tired all the time

I got mirena put in at the beginning of July, and I have to say it was a horrible decision. I hate this little devil inside of me. This thing has put the biggest strain on my relationship. My mood swings and depression are out of control. Most of the time I cry for absolutely no reason. My boyfriend and I went on vacation to Mexico and not one day went by that we didn't fight. I've never felt this way, it's like I'm not even the same person anymore. And the weight gain has been yet another problem i have with this, I have zero ability to build muscle now even thought I was extremely athletic before my pregnancy. I say to anyone who is thinking of getting Mirena, DON'T! its not worth the money or the pain.I'm getting mine out next month, counting down the days!

Well I am like all of you I am a proud parent of almost 4 year old twins. I have had every problem in the book to even have children. Endometriosis, BAD PERIODS or NO PERIODS, NO OVULATING NOTHING. LEVELS OF ESTROGEN & PROGESTERONE IN MY BODY WAS UNREAL! THEY STATED MY BODY WAS PRODUCING TESTOSTERONE ABOUT THE LEVELS OF A MATURE BOY IN PUBERTY.... GROSS

WHAT HURTS MORE THEN ANYTHING IS WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR ALMOST 14 YEARS & OUR LOVE IS STILL STRONG BUT I HAVE NO DRIVE TO BE CLOSE TO HIM, I KNOW THIS BOTHERS HIM DEEPLY! MY KIDS ALSO ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS AS WELL. WE TRIED FOR SO LONG TO HAVE CHILDREN & THEN WAS POINTED INTO A GREAT DIRECTION FOR A AWESOME DOCTOR & HE MADE IT HAPPEN - AND WITH TWINS.

I HAD MY MIRENA PLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THE BIRTH OF MY TWINS, LOVED IT FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 3 MONTHS THEN I HAVE HAD SYMPTOMS I DO NOT LIKE. HAIR LOSS WEIGHT GAIN ALMOST 50 POUNDS IN A 2 YEAR SPAM MY PC DOCTOR STAYS ON ME ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE WEIGHT I HARDLY EVER EAT & CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I AM NOT LOSING WEIGHT. BEEN ON THE ALL WATER DIET ONLY AND NADA THEN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHITE DIET NOTHING THERE EITHER. I HAVE THE SEVERE CRAMPS AFTER ME & MY HUSBAND HAVE INTIMATE ENCOUNTERS IF THERE IS ANY. HE IS LEFT OUT & I AM ALWAYS TIRED & NOT IN THE MOOD I HAVE NO DRIVE! I HAVE WENT THRU THE DEPRESSION MOODS & NOW I FEEL LIKE I AM CONSTANTLY ON A EDGE WAITING TO FALL FOR TEARS OR BREAKING SOMETHING. I FEEL LIKE I BREAK AT A BLINK OF AN EYE YELLING AT MY KIDS OR MY HUSBAND, I USED TO BE THE MOST PATIENT SELF KICK BACK PERSON YOU COULD EVER MEET & NOW I FEEL LIKE I AM A MONSTER IN MY OWN BODY!

MY APPOINTMENT IS NOT TILL JULY BUT AM COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TILL THEN…..

I WANT TO BE MYSELF AGAIN!

I got the Mirena inserted in Aug of 2008. what a horrible experience,it hurt so bad i almost passed out from the pain . at first I thought it was a great thing to have and who wouldn't when they tell you, you might not have a period. I'm 33yrs old and was on Depro-Provera before and loved it.

Since I've had this put in I have lost my sex-drive, gained 25lb, have horrible cramps, spot here and there never knowing when I might start bleeding. Then to add to it in the past month I have been having dizzy spells.

I have set it up to have this thing removed on May 12th. The biggest kicker of it all is that after talking with my uncle who is a gyno out of state, he told me the Mirena never should have been put in since I have never had children and have had a LEEP before. Needless to say I'm counting down the days until i get this stupid thing out.

I definitely have sympathy for everyone here! I have had Mirena since June of 2008 and made my appointment to have it removed today! I will not be able to have it removed until Feb. but I am counting down the days!
This thing, this foreign body inside me is tricking my body into thinking it is pregnant, hence that is how the light or no monthly cycles!
I have become severely depressed over the last month. Someone can look at me and I can start crying. This thing messes with our natural hormones! I feel like I have a lot of anger built up in side me and I keep thinking what is wrong with me?!?
Not to mention I have put on about 15 pounds and I look like I am 6 month's pregnant -- which, I am not! I have never in my life had problems with a tummy! NOT even after having 4 kids, until now!
I told my husband I was getting it taken out and the sooner the better. He said, it can't be good for your body -- we are messing with Mother Nature here!
I researched and researched before I decided to have it inserted. I never found anything negative when I put "Mirena" in the search engine. I started finding negative things when I put in things such as: weight gain and mirena or depression and mirena. How was I to research weight gain or depression if that is not even listed as one of their side effects!?!
The only thing positive that has occurred is I now have boobs!:)
I cannot wait to get this thing taken out.

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??

I was prescribed Doxycycline to treat PID - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - 100mg once daily.

After 5 days, my symptoms were not impoving. I had been bleeding and cramping for 11 days, so I phoned my Doctor back with my complaints and he prescribed an additional antibiotoc - Amoxyllin.

The Doxycycline side effects I've noticed are weird.

First side effect was a tingling in my lower lip, like a fizzy feeling. This wasn't unpleasant, just very strange.
I have also been feeling groggy and lethargic, and am feeling depressed. I'm really teary, my mood is low and have little energy.

My throat feels like it's a bit blocked also.

I have another week to go until I'm finished them, I know I must complete the course, and I'm counting down the days.

Doxycycline is not my friend. :(

I had been on Dianette for years for acne. When I went to the family planning clinic instead of my GP, the doctor there wanted me to come off it, saying it wasn't meant for long term use. She put me on Marvelon which was OK but I heard about Yasmin being good for acne so I decided to try that. Well, halfway through my 2nd pack, I started feeling so ill. I thought I was going to vomit but I couldn't. I decided to go and get an Implanon implant which I got done the other night even if it makes my acne worse. I have to finish my pack of Yasmin but today I still feel so nauseous and my head is sore. I had to go and lie down for a few hours. I am counting down the days (6) until I finish this pack and get off horrible Yasmin. No other pill has made me feel so ill. I felt so ill I thought I must be pregnant, but am am not. That is a relief but the nausea is awful!!! I will suffer acne over nausea any time. Any suggestions to get me through these last 6 days?!
