Ill post symptoms and conditions

Well I have had the Mirena out for almost 2 weeks now and I'm doing great the moodiness has gone and so have the headaches I can't wait to see how much better everything else goes Ill post again a few more weeks or so I wish the best to all of you ladies out there oh yea and me and my (ex) fiance are trying to work things out again now that I don't have that evil device in me anymore I won't be such a witch to be around thank again to all the ladies on here that posted their symptoms its a great way to let people know what they are getting in to!!

Well I went to the doctors today and they gave me a regular pap after that they told me I could get up and get dressed I thought well you have not taken that Mirena out yet my doctor came back in to talk to me I told her my side effects she said it had nothing to do with the Mirena and that the people on this site didn't know what they were talking about! Ha I said well Im having all those symptoms and want to have it removed she almost yelled at me and said "WELL IF YOU WANT IT OUT GET UP ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW AND I'LL TAKE IT OUT" I was almost scared to but I got up on the table and she came back in the room ALONE and got prepared I asked her if it was going to hurt she said no so she told me to take a deep breath and she yanked it out it felt like she pulled my fallopian tube with her it hurt so bad She said there it's out see I felt dizzy for about 10 seconds then started cramping some more but at least it's gone after that she handed me some birth control told me to start it today and walked out the room crazy right? Ill post again in a few months to fill in in how im doing anyone out there considering the Mirena please take a while to think about what you are doing I thought I knew but had no idea!!

Wow..i wished i could have found this web site a long time ago...however i probably still would have had it done. I had my inserted 4 days ago. It was a little painful when it was getting put in and i have been having cramps ever since. My doc gave me pain med. to last me up to 3 months (cant remember to take them or any other pill thats why i got on Mirena to begin with!) because she said women have painful periods but after a few months it goes away. The only thing i noticed was light brown jelly like discharge. yeah, gross. Its weird that i have something inside of me but thats it. I'm worried now that ill have the same complications as everyone else on this site! But trust me..ill let you know! My husband and i did have sex last night and it was a little painful, but i haven't done that position in a long time but i dont know. ill find out if it hurts again tonight. (just to see since i have no interest in sex since i had my baby 4 months ago...poor hubby) And i noticed i LOST 2 pounds in one day...but ill post again in about a week to update. boy i am worried now!

After looking at the listed side effects for Pred. i can say that my wife has expierenced all of them. She has Chrons and was on Pred. for about 9 months. Just so you all dont feel like your crazy, ill post what this "miracle drug" had done for our family. INSOMENIA, she would sleep for about 3 hours a day, man was my house clean! MOOD SWINGS, she would flip out for no reason. She even wanted a devorce! For no particular reason, she " just wanted me out of the house ". WEIGHT GAIN, she went from a size 3 to a size 13.*note* she lost weight in the first month, went down to a size 2. MOON FACE, she kept saying she looked like a jack-o-lantern. BURNING SENSATION, she would just break out in a sweat, and complain of "feeling" hot. ACNE, neck, back, and chest. FATIGUE, she just couldnt move, always felt "drained". EATING LIKE A LINE BACKER, she would polish off a full sized bag of cheese curls, and look for more. DEPRESSION, would just break down and cry, for no reason. I would ask, whats worng, and get " i dont know ...." BACK PAIN, she would wake up with major back pain. We contributed this to the added weight, pressing on her back while asleep. SNORING, agian, do to he added weight.

My question is this, my wife has been off the Pred for almost 50 days now, and she has lost little weight. It kills me that she looks in the mirror and cries now because she still has the added weight. She has lost a little in the face, and in the ankle area, but had yet to loose a majority of the weight gain. Her Dr. told her that it will take another 2 - 3 months to loose her weight and get back to "normal". If some one can varify this; the long gradual weight loss, it would make my wife feel so much better, knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks in advance,
