Hi Ladies! I had my Mirena inserted in October 08, when my daughter was 6 weeks old. I have been having horrible side effects that I have been blaming on everything from my depression meds, to my job, to just being a new mother.
I have never in my life weighed more then 150 pounds and even when I weighed 150 I was living with my sister that was pregnant at the time and eating fast food everyday with her!! For the better part of my life I have been between 120-130!!!! I weighed 150 when I got pregnant and 180 at delivery! I got down to 164 the day after my daughter was born!!! I am now back around 175! I have been working out EVERYDAY for a hour plus and only eating 1200 calories a day!!! I HAVE NOT LOST A POUND!!! I can not fit into any of my clothes because of this big paunch belly that I have!! I really do look like I am in my 6-7 month of pregnancy!!! I feel so horrible about myself and the way I look!!
My boobs have also grown! I went from a 36D during pregnancy to now wearing a 38DD!!! I love having big boobs but now none of my shirts fit because my boobs are too big!!
I have started getting acne on my face, back, thighs, and buttocks! I have never had acne in my life.
My hair is very oily the next day after I wash it!
I am very moody!! My husband can say something so small and I fly off the handle and start yelling!! I have no patients with my 8 month old daughter and I feel soooo bad!!! I should not feel like this and I should be enjoying her and all of her little quirks not getting mad at her for everything!
I don't really have periods! About once a month a get a short stint of 2-3 days of spotting and that is it!!
I believe that this thing is bad for your body! I am having some of the same problems that I had on the Depo! I have come to the realization that your body needs to have a period once a month so that it knows everything is ok and it doesn't need to start providing nutrition for another living being!
I am getting this thing taken out on Friday and will keep up dates on here!

must mention:
if you are prone to anxiety since it could be genetic -you can get a therapist and talk out problems of the past, etc.
just know that some anxiety there can be no cure -but with that said, you can figure out with the specialist that your body is simply (during the anxiety/panic attack mode) mixing up it's understanding of whether you are really having an issue or whether you are simply getting ahead of yourself -which either-way can cause you to stress before it is really necessary.
thus better understanding yourself with a therapist will help best.
a specialist to help get you a the right dose of any drug will also best help.
all these facts will get you on the road to dealing with your anxiety in a way that you will be in control of your attacks and not vice versa. this is how you get on top of this concern and learn to lead a better fulfilled life.
don't buy those books or sign up for those pills. research with the right therapist -ask around a friend if they can recommend someone, etc.
be open minded and find a solution that works for you best. no need to join a cult just do your own reserach and you can fix/adjust, etc. to your body's quirks.
good luck all!
