what the hell has this world come to? First let me say I am by no means anti earth or anti environment I do my parts to recycle and cut down on my waste, but who the decided that a little bit of pollution is more important than our health. It is extremely minute. Why not stop selling cheese it makes people FART and the methane gas is extremely bad for the evionment. But they still sell hair spray, insect spray, and spray paint and other chemicals. What the hell is going on???
Selling spray paint to 15 year old punks to tag the trains and buildings must have more profit than a $25 inhaler.

I am 29 yrs. of age. My experience with Mirena has been mostly bad. With any medication I usually try to see how it works for me and my body before reading into any web site. I don't want to pre-determine my side effects before they even happen! So, I didn't look up anything on this until I started having side effects of my own. And here's my story...
-- By bella25 | Reply | Private Message meI got this thing put in right after the birth of my son in Feb. (MY 2ND BABY)My dr. told me it would be the best time to do it since everything was still fairly loosened up down there. I have to say that it really didn't hurt me to have it put in. I barely felt it. I went home with some minor bleeding and started cramping a bit. The next day I cramped a lot. Nothing that a menstrual cramp medication couldn't handle though. Next, I started gaining some weight. I checked on-line immediately to find out if weight gain was an issue. I found that many if not most of the women had some weight gain. Little did I know that weight gain was minor compared to my other symptoms.... I have had HAIR LOSS!!! I think I'm going bald. Ok I am over exaggerating, but seriously I lose handfuls of hair with each shower. I have gotten to the point where I just towel dry my hair and spray it with hair spray (kind of the messy look) I don't want to comb it and lose more hair. I have been very itchy in the vaginal area, and have had discharge also ( kind of wet and watery looking). Is my water breaking again??? lol I have read some of the stories about the mirena and decided that some are far fetched, but I really have to say that having these side effects for myself I realize what my "normal" is. My body is not agreeing with this at all. Even if it would level out after a few more months I don't even think it's worth the wonder! I have tried to stick it out just thinking I must be crazy and that these side effects are not from the birth control, but now I am realizing that I am crazy to leave this Evil thing in! I will be getting it taken out ASAP!
