I got my Mirena removed two weeks ago after seven years of carrying it around in my uterus. I had horribly painful periods before (like vomiting and fainting from the pain horrible), so I was glad to be rid of that.

What I'm not glad about, however, is the thick black BEARD HAIR that I've developed (which returned after expensive laser treatments), losing about a quarter of my previously thick hair (now I have to wear extensions to appear somewhat normal), and walking around for seven years with acne, a pooch that had me constantly pregnancy testing, hoohoo odor that sometime persisted despite bathing AT LEAST daily, and oh, the wonderful gas, bloating, and bowel irregularities that caused me constant anxiety in the tiny, quiet house I live in with my boyfriend.

Then there is the chronic pain for the past two years that they can't find the cause of - could this little miracle have anything to do with it?

I've brought these things up to doctors, all who knew I was on Mirena, and was always blown off. But it's obviously related, along with the my eyesight now being that of an 80-year-old, my very own snowstorm of dandruff no matter what I wash with, and, quite possible, the depression that no medication makes a dent in. None of which I had before Mirena came waltzing into my life.

Here's hoping for a return to normal now that it's out, and perhaps a lucrative class action lawsuit in the future that nets us each at least enough to get electrolysis and a hair transplant.

I THINK WE WERE DUPED!

Is anyone thinking that the drug company knew all of this, and therefore has been marketing specifically to women who have just given birth... this way, the postpartum symptoms are the scapegoat:

bleeding
cramping
hair loss (very common 3 months after.. I believe I lost more than most)
insomnia (very common after delivery due to motherly hormones have
you on high-alert))
No sex drive (because we're either breastfeeding, hormonal, or just feel
fat)
Mood swings (because of our ever-changing post-partum hormones)
depression, crying (must be Post-Partum Depression!)
Joint pain, back pain (we're carrying our new baby around too much)
Bingeing and Food cravings (we're home alone and bored or
breastfeeding)
No sex drive (we are bitchy, unsociable, depressed, feel overweight and have no energy.. I'm surprised they still want to have sex with us?!!)

I had my Mirena inserted in July 2005 and removed 2 yrs afterward. Till this day the effects are still showing. I have facial hair that I never had before. And the hair loss is still onset. I have developed fibroid cystic breasts. I have also gained a significant amount of weight that I'm still battling. At first I thought I was leading an unhealthy life so I changed my eating habits, stopped smoking, stopped drinking (which both were extremely RARE!), and cut out the fast food and replace with a healthy lifestyle. My hormones are still so out of whack that I think hormone therapy will be the only thing that will control my mood swings and help with the breast tenderness. BTW!!! If you do experience this symptom limit your caffeine intake!!! It could cost you your breasts. Right now I'm trying to make the best of my life and spending lots of money in electrolysis. Do not think for a minute that this thing is safe because it is far from it. REMOVE IT OR OPT TO ANOTHER FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL!!!
