Medical examinations symptoms and conditions

Ladies! Bayer is deceiving us!!!!!!! This side effect is not mentioned enywhere. Please, do not get Mirena. I suffered so much that I had to quit working for a month. I couldn't work, rest, live. I was only sleeping praying that pain would go away. It messed up my hormones to such an extent that I had terrible pain peeing. Went trough courses of 3 antibiotics, drank litres of cranberry juice, painkillers, herbal teas and so on. Nothing helped.
After my gynecologist told me it has nothing to do with Mirena, I visited 2 GP's, 2 urologists, another gynecologist. Some suggested even that I'm making it up. One gynecologist asked me even whether I was sexually abused as a child. I thought I'm crazy but pain was too strong to give up. I did a lot of medical examinations on my own-paying for it a lot and I'm just a poor student! I took also vaginal globules and a lot of other medicines. The pain lasted for 5 months. From the very beginnig after insertion and finished one month after removal, but only with help of estrogens. I was deceived, and my gynecologist didn't want to take it out!
I was so faint I couldn't eat. I lost a lot of weight from stress. I was white as sheet and scared to death as I though that I have some unknown bladder disease. Obviously, I couldn't have sex. During 4 months of having Mirena I had sex just 5 times, even though I'm engaged, living in a stable relationship. The symptoms still haven't gone away totally and I'm afraid what tomorrow brings. I'm afraid of nerve damage and I think a lot about that. It's been the darkest period in my life and I'm bitter about it because nobody will pay my money back for all the physical and mental suffering, financial loses (I had to quit job) and lost time when I was just lying in bed crying and praying for health. I'm not a crazy woman. I am not making this stuff up. Please, do not get Mirena.
I thought that I will have it for 5 years, I will have enjoyable sex, and as I was tolf no side effect because the hormone is realeased only locally. Thta's a lie. Also my hair and skin were so greasy that nothing helped.
No sex, pain, lost money- Mirena is not worth it. I was told it's insert-and forget-about-it method plus it was also supposed to cure my ovarian cysts. Guess what? It did not cure my cysts but made them even worse!
I am not from US neither from UK. In my country doctors don't know anything about it. One told me 'it's just a copper wire how can it affect your bladder.' 'Did you live with alcoholic when you were a child' (meaning are you crazy?)

Hi all...I am not currently on Yasmin, but I was on it over a year. Never experienced a SINGLE side effect. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my mood, acne, etc actually IMPROVED with my use of Yasmin. I plan on going back on Yasmin.

For all of the people here who are within the first three months of use of Yasmin or any birth control, my doctor told me that there is a three month adjustment period. Try to hang in there; maybe it will get better.

I'm not a drug rep or anything of the sort...just a satisfied customer. I was once on the patch, but while I used the patch I experienced very serious mood swings. I stuck with it for over two months, and I simply couldn't wait out the three month adjustment period.

If Yasmin isn't for you, try to switch. The patch didn't work for me, but Yasmin did. If Yasmin doesn't work for you, it is not a reason to swear off all birth control pills. The difference between every pill is that there are different dosages. Each pill has a different dosage, so another pill might work a lot better.
