Old boys symptoms and conditions

i've had my mirena for almost 2 months now. had it inserted september 29. my ob told me the day it was put in place that it could be either a mildly uncomfortable feeling or it could hurt like hell. luckily it was a mildly uncomfortable feeling. (no worse then the internal exams when i was pregnant...actually less painful then that) i have had the irregular bleeding (he never told me it'd just be spotting. he said it COULD be irregular bleeding and spotting. that was either light and barely there or a flow like a normal period. unfortunately mines been like the normal period....) and the period like cramps. i haven't experienced the weight gain luckily. i've actually been loosing weight. no acne, hot flashes, i do have the moodiness but that could also be from the sleep loss from having twin 3 month old boys who insist on keeping mommy up all day and night. my sex drive....has increased. i mean dramatically increased. my husband isn't complaining.

so for the ladies who are thinking about getting mirena....not every experience is bad. people tend to write about the bad but forget the good.

my ob also said if you never had problems with side affects from previous b/c (which i never did) then the chances are (it's not 100% guaranteed) you'll be fine with the mirena. but you have to remember that the side affects with mirena are the same with a lot of other b/c. besides the constant bleeding from hacing it inserted.

I was just at the gyno yesterday for an annual check up. I haven't been on BC for years, but thought it was time to look into it again due to my utter hatred for condoms yet my strong desire to avoid pregnancy (I have a 10 year old girl, and twin 4 yr old boys). My doctor put the Nuvaring in around 3 pm. By 4:30 I had the biggest migraine, and the worst mood swings I've ever experienced. I hated everyone in my path. It was like being pregnant and being on that "emotional rollercoaster" all over again. I can't even begin to describe the constant rage I felt. The phrase "seeing red" does not even come close to describing it! Even my worst PMS doesn't hold a candle to the emotional hell I went through in the last half a day. I thought I should stick it out, and that my body just needed to adjust to it. However, after waking up this morning and freaking out on my children and telling my BF I hated him (for no reason) I took it out. It took about 3 hours to start feeling normal again. I couldn't stand myself for the 18 hours I used the NR. I have no idea how anyone has continued to use it for weeks, months, or especially years!!

just a follow up to my last posting. since taking our 2 and 6 year old boys of singulair. they have improved !. No problems at all with their breathing, all side effects are gone and they are back to their normal loveable selves.

My 7 and 4 yr old boys are both on Singulair. I have notice a differents with my 7 yr old with his actions. He is hitting, yelling, and doing outrage things that he has never done before. His skin is pale, he is always sick. I was reading this site to some family memebers and they were all that sounds like clifton. Logan who is now 4 was put on it since Sept of last year. Since then he has done nothing but whine when told to do something, hits out of no where. His actions are not the logan I had before this Singulair. It was pointed out by a friend today to me about this site. So i begin to look, and OMG does it scare me....TO think the whole time Ive been telling people, boys will be boys...and overlooking how much this SINGULAIR is not helping my sons. And to think they want to put my 2yr old daughter on it..I THINK NOT

thanks for sharing everything with me and others on the site
