Merina coil symptoms and conditions

Hi, had my mirena coil fitted in Nov '08 and have just had it removed Feb '09. Mine had dislodged apparently and was caused me severe abdominal cramps but three days after removal, still getting bad cramps, taking time off work, when will it end?? Not recommended ! I have to say my side effects were spotty face, bloated tummy and stabbing pains in my bottom area and upper back, tearful, bloated tummy, severe lower back pain for about 2 months which stopped me going to the gym, can't comment about the weight really as I gave up smoking at the same time, so it could be a combination of both. Rest assured the removal of the coil didn't hurt, but just wish this pain would end!

I had my mirena inserted July 2006. Not noticing any real problems until recently, I have inquired just to be sure. Upon insertion I only had about 10 minutes of pain, and was fine for a while, like almost a year. First, I started getting migraines and had never had one before until 2007. Then fatigue set in. Chronic fatigue, foul smelling discharge, abdominal pain, back pain. Recently there were serious mood swings and they feel uncontrollable, and this is not fair to my husband or daughter. My daughter is three years old and i don't have the energy to play with her or the patience to deal with her. I feel like a failure of a mom because of the mood swings, fatigue, and depression. I have been married for almost 6 years and I have suddenly lost my sexual urges, they just fell off, and the way we were going I thought that that would never happen. But the thing that concerns me the most is the lack of period. I know they say that they will lessen but I haven't had a period since October 2008. Your period is a means of releasing waste, so I have pent up waste not going anywhere. Nausea set in between September and October 2008. I am constantly depressed and stressed for no reason my life is good. My husband has done some research because he said that all of a sudden I wasn't my normal self. I was put on medication for depression and none of the dosages worked, that is sad. We have agreed to have this "thing" removed. I would much rather try some condoms or even get pregnant again than to be a whole new person that I nor anyone else enjoys.

Having read all the other peoples comments, am feeling a little less like I am going mad! I am 33 and have no children and had the Mirena coil fitted 18 months ago to combat VERY heavy periods and a dangerously low iron level (i suffer from PCOS). All seemed to be going well for the first 6 months or so- still bleeding but less heavily and a little bit of weight gain, but nothing too scary. Then 9 months in I got what seemed to be a very bad case of herpes the doctor didn't do a blood test, but did give me medication and pain killers.....I have been with my partner for 4 years, we are both faithful and I have never even had a cold sore before!
In the past 9 months my period have been getting more frequent again (one every couple of weeks for about 5 days) but not as heavy as before AND I am getting a very swollen every month with dry itchy areas and sometimes a blister! Does anyone know if it can cause a dormant herpes infection to become active? I am also putting on weight more and the mood swings are getting more pronounced....lots of uncontrollable for no reason and my sex drive is either very high or not there.
I think I will get it removed, but I am scared of the effect this will have on my periods........can anyone help!
