Hormons symptoms and conditions

I had my Mirena inserted on Aug 12, 2009. The insertion was very painful. I had taken 800 mg of ibuprofen before the procedure but it didn't touch the pain. I am 40 years old and have had two children naturally with no medication, I feel like I have a high pain tolerance. I had severe cramping and bleeding for about 24 hours. Luckily my husband came with me, I would not have been able to drive home. I have spotted or bleed ever since. I don't know when I'm having a period or just spotting. I have been passing chunks of what appears to be tissue????? I have an offensive odor. I have not noticed weight gain but I am bloated and my clothes are tighter. I am am very moody and get frustrated easily, no patience. I have a lack of energy and don't have much of a desire to do any of the things I love. I have frequent headaches......Now for my major complaints.....I have tingling leg sensation down my legs with a warming sensation, I get extremely nausea. I have had extreme crapping in my abdomen which goes around to my lower back. They tend to be more on my right side. Very comparable to labor pains but with no peaking just stays intense. My breast feel like I'm breast feeding again and hurt all the time. We no longer have sex because it hurts to bad, besides I bleed all the time and stink! Wow if that dosent take the desire away! At times I feel as if I have a UTI, I believe this all contributed to the Mirena. I too called my OB/GYN and he said theses are not side effects of the Mirena.whatever! It is coming out Oct 9, 2009 at 2:30 p.m. I wish I would have researched it more. Thanks for sharing your experiencing because I felt like I was just falling apart.

im 14,and my acne is just depressing.my parents even point it out and it just quite awful.i did a lot of creams and they just made me break out more and after a couple weeks i would stop taking them. i have even been called a pizza face before and i don't want be judged just because i have crap on my face. i would talk to mom about just popping a pill to get this off my face. but she knew that if i was on birth control that i might be thinking about actually having sex. but trust me i don't. so i went o the doctor and my parents finally gave in and let me take yaz. i am just about 5 days away from the white pills and i pick at my pimple and pop them just something i cant control. my dad has noticed a change.but im not sure i have. and i have read post and about having no sex drive but i don't if it is just my hormones or what but i have a sex drive and i am only 14. i am always tired during the day but wide awake at night so my sleep schedule is just messed up. i have a urge for chocolate and nothing else. i only 103 and my weight hasn't changed. my nipples are sooo sore. i might not be to far a long to know if this is a good pill for acne or not. but i am going to keep using it bc i have faith in it. i haven't had one headache but i do see stars when i get up. not sure what it is. thanks for reading;] wish me luck!

First of all, I want to say that I'm sorry for all of you having physical discomfort in your lives right now. I feel for anyone who is experiencing such problems.
With that said, I have been on YASMIN (not YAZ - those are two different things people!!!!) for 8 years and have NEVER experienced any problems despite experiencing problems on other pills. Pardon me being frank... If you are one of the women who BARELY started this pill in the last 3-6 months, you may have not given it enough time. You must remember that by taking any medication you are changing the chemical balance of your body and it will take time and adjustments. Bottom line, you need to carefully monitor your problems and discuss them with your ob/gyn and possibly general physician. You may just need to try other pills. This is TRIAL and ERROR, there is NO way for a doctor to be able to know how each person's body will react to any particular drug. Be open and pay attention. If you search about any birth control pills, you can find there are side effects for all of them. Second of all, some of you may have these existing problems, but never noted them until you started taking the pill, or as I said before, you have not allowed time for your body to adjust. For example, when you have a headache or indigestion, you take medication and it takes time for your body to adjust to the meds. Please ladies - don't bad mouth or assume, without first allowing for the already published side effects to come - and most likely, pass. And if they don't - talk to your doctor!!! Seriously!!! The makers even say to talk to you doctors if any of the published side effects happen. I do apologize for being harsh, but I must insist on being practical and reading the material provided. I do hope that each of you stay in good health and have no lasting problems.

Ladies, it is all true, Mirena is a nightmare, I had it for 3 months and I feel like it destroyed my life, I feel sad, angry, lethargic, no energy to excercise or have sex, I've gain weight, about 10 pounds and of course... I want to sleep all day, I scream to my kids all the time and I have no interest on interacting with my family. I feel disconnected to reality and I do not want to live like that. So I had it removed yesterday and I still feel really bad but I guess it takes time for those hormones to get out from my body..Never listen to doctors without researching. If I had seen this page, I wouldn't have done it. Thanks to other experiences I saw here, I made my decision to remove it, so thanks to all of you for your messages.

i have been on the ring for a week now, i havent had any side effects, yet. I had to get on the ring because the high estrogen level of the pill was making my hormons go crazy and creating nuts in my breats. After reading all the side effects i dont know if i want to keep using the ring. I have not had intercorse with the ring on because im scared its going to hurt me or my partner.... any help on how to avoid pain during intercose while using the ring??? will my partner feel the ring ??

I have only been on it for like 6 days and yet i already feel fat/bloated constipated, emotional, angrey at every little stuipid thing that goes wrong...i ate nothing out of the ordinary today yet i feel like i had huge meals all day long...i felt better when i was off the pill with irregualr periods and just exersisng regularly...it helped better than the pill, my biggest fear is weight gain and i feel like im screwing myself over by taking this i think im going to stop but i keep getting told its just bad the first few weeks and cycles...i dont know if i want to waste 3 months of my life getting used to fake hormons...im done with it! i hate pills

I'm 38 yrs old I also have endo I have had it for quite some time however I also had the endoscopy done about a year half ago and I was also recommed to take the lupron injection as well I experiences Hot flash, was not able to sleep at all, than became depress but, on the other hand I lost weight as I was taking the injection, after the last dose which has been actually over a year ago to this day I have begin to gain weight I'm not able to loss my weight either I'm so sad about this so I mention this to my nurse so they run some blood work test on me and all my blood work came out normal, but I think it unbalance your hormons and to I still have hot flash and also I still have menstural cramps but most of all I have put on tremdous amount of weight CAN ANYONE RELATE TO THIS OR EXPERIENCE THIS AFTER USING LUPRON BECAUSE I sure could use so help right now HELP

In July of 2003 I recieved my 2nd round of injections after BEGGING not to have then again. I had them 8 years ago for endometerosis, but after 6 laps, it just grows right back in a matter of weeks. No meds seem to easy my suffering, except when a sympothtic docter gives a script for a pain killer from time to time. The depression hit like a brick wall, i was thrown into the pits of hell emotionaly over night. They started adding more lupron for the increased pain and I lost it. I sat on my kitchen floor with a scaple and made a decision i'm sure I would never had made with out that shot running my life, it was me or the endometreosis that night. So I cut right down into my own belly looking for it. Now, i'm an educated for the most part stable woman, and this shot made me ragging crazy. I thought, women need to know that these hormons are not meant to be taken lightly. Has any one else lost there marbles while on this? I since have had migrains that land me in the ER, and have gotten my scrupples back, but for three months. I was not me. And to tell you the trueth, only the good Lord got me through. I was recentley aproved for a hysterectomy, but was told that the effects of that would equal that of the lupron. Think about it hard befor you bend over and take that shot.............
