I though Mirena would be great. Considering I had two abortions, it seemed like the best choice.
Then it came.
The horrible discharge, HORRIBLE!
NO periods, just vaginal discharge.
It defiantly made me very self conscious, and my sex life has dwindled. I haven't had it removed yet, but because of this list,
I am calling tomorrow.
I felt crazy! Got tested twice, and no results,
NO positive on anything. So why is it happening, and does it go away after you take it out?

I am only seventeen and i have been experiencing horrible anxiety. I have only gained a couple of pounds but every time im with my boyfriend i don't want him to touch me because i feel so self conscious about my body, then all of a sudden i'll start crying. Why? i don't know. And i will randomly be so angry that i just have to scream and punch a pillow. This is horrible i feel depressed and im normally never like this. Bad Pill.

About two months ago, i noticed an indentation forming on my right glute. I am very active in running and figured that it was possible to have pulled or injured the muscle somehow. I began to massage the area thinking I could repair this "knotted muscle", but to no avail. Instead it became worse and more indented. About a week ago, I went to a regular family practice doctor to check it out after two other doctors we're stumped. She immediately recognized it and called it 'lipodysmorphia', a complication caused by the Kenalog shot. The steroid breaks down the muscle and the body then absorbs it. Everything suddenly clicked! About 5 months ago, I had a steroid injected in that very area to treat a bout of Sinusitis. When asked if the muscle would ever come back, she said that my best bet would be to see a cosmetic surgeon and request filler of some sort. What?! I work out almost everyday to get the perfect glutes and now I have to get filler!! I'm very self- concious now because of the look of it. It looks like a handful of muscle has been removed from my butt. I no longer can wear tights or fitted jeans because to me it looks so obvious. I will do my best to build it back up with weights, but i'm not too hopeful at this point. I just wish that I was aware that this could've possibly happened. I would have never sacrificed my womanly and curver posterior. Jamie, 28, Henderson, NV

Ladies!
When my mum pointed out this website, and blogs bout Yasmin,
and after reading just a few,
i bursted out crying.
after just 3 months on Yasmin
i was completely, utterly depressed.
being a 15 year old then, it was the worst thing
in the world.
i am a highly trained athlete,
and this pill made me gain over 7 kgs.
training 8 times a week, and 3 dryland,
and STILL packing on the kgs was
unimaginable.
i became completely self conscious,
and stopped eating for days on end.
training suffered, but my muscles and body
suffered more.
all my muscles got completely fatigued and
i lost most of my fast-twitch muscle fibers.
apart from this i obtained a COMPLETE
Fluid retention in every part of my body.
thighs and face the worst.
i couldnt move my joints very freely,
and nothing would let this go.
the absolute worst part was the depression
and anxiety that came from this all.
i remember having 2 weeks off school,
and all i did, was stay home, in bed and cry.
i broke up with my boyfriend, and didn't want
a n y o n e to care about me, i even made a list,
of everyones names and crossed them
off as they hated me.
i cut myself, and hurt myself, especially on my legs
where my mind just hated seeing them,
and feeling this way.
could NOT stand being in my swim-wear during training,
i would run out, and cry if i saw someone look at me.
paranoia.
to feel this out of control with your own body,
is the worst feeling in the world.
i would cry.
everyday. every night.
and i couldnt stop.
i would be moody, and angry, and hopeless,
and start verbal fights everywhere i went.
and i didn't even know why.
after reading this all,
suddenly, everything made sense.
my doctor, told me, in specific words
"they call this the 'luxury pill' its the most expensive,
and has least side effects than any of the others."
i showed her this website.
after i went off it, i had the three day blues,
mum said, just like after pregnancy.
i cried, and cried and cried.
would be sitting in class, and bursted out in tears.
things were horrible.
its now about 6 months later, of not being on anything,
my periods just began back after not having them
for 4 months, and my body, is no where
near how it was before i went on pill,
but its getting there :)
one day I'm going to be an amazing swimmer.
and on the Australian team.
i guess, if i had not had this experience
i would never be this determined now.
I Would NEVER Recommend This Pill
To Any Girl Or Woman.
EVER.
Its Amazing What One
TINY Little Pill Can Actually Do To You.
stay strong girls,
x x x
contact:***
for any other questions. :)

Within the first year of being on methadone,I have gained back the 100 pounds I had just lost .I am still gaining and ready to lose my mind.I continued to diet the whole year I was gaining,but it did not matter if I ate or not,it seems.I feel terrible,like a blimp that is too exhausted to walk even one block without getting depressed,self-concious,and winded.Everyone keeps asking me how I got so fat.I am miserable!

I, too, was told, only good things about mirena. I got it after the birth of my son, and had previously had a copper IUD, with it, I still gt my period, but no worse than before. Since getting the Mirena, I'd gained over 30 pounds (with no change in activity levels or diet), and have experienced frustration, depression, and am very self-conscious of this-from being asked if I was pregnant again, etc., as this make a very big difference on my 5'2 frame. I also never regained my libido. My gyn, Just told me last week that loss of libido can be a side-effect of mirena. My periods have been lighter, but still have the emotional side effect. I'm going to check with my ins to see if it will cover having it switched back to the copper one. I'd gladly take a period, than go on like this (as you can imagine how its affecting my marriage.)
