It's me again! So, either this is the weirdest coincidence ever, or just another lovely side effect of mirena. I had a baby in march08, in may08 I had mirena put in. Strangely, my 2month old started spitting up A LOT. And I'm not talking a little spitting up, I'm talking half or more of what she ate came back up.I am nursing and supplementing. She would spit up breast milk and formula. We tried everything, no dairy, nutramigen formula, nothing really helped. But thurs, the day after mirena was removed, she barely spit up at all and today she hasn't spit up any. I know some of the hormone is excreted in the milk, but can it make your little one sick? All things point to yes.

I had the Mirena inserted the first time in May08, within two months it fell out or rather cramped out. I had been having really bad cramps, I felt bleeding so I sat on the toilet, had a really bad cramp and afterwards the mirena came out. Before then during sex my husband had been complaining of feeling the strings sticking him. I explained all of this to my dr. who told me he would check and see if maybe my uterus was tilted or perhaps it was defective. I had it replaced and have had no better periods, feelings of anxiety, mood swings and low to no sex drive. I have had breakout periods since I had it (1st and 2nd times) inserted and have bled every time after sex. My husband thought the side effects weren't worth it. Unfortunately, I had no time make a decision on keeping it or getting rid of it. During our vacation it cramped out again. So I'll get checked when I return home and will be looking at other alternatives. Mirena just wasn"t for me.
