Small girl symptoms and conditions

Im reading these stories and crying... So many lights keep going off the more I read... Im 30 and had my first child last June. They put the "thing" in 6 weeks post-pardum and it made me dizzy and sick to my stomach instantly, hut like hell, and I spent a couple days in bed on pain pills. But I figured a week or so was worth five years of freedom... HA!!! I had barely stopped bleeding and getting energy back for a couple weeks since before from having the baby, but this started that back up with a vengeance. I have been walking around like a b*tchy zombie for almost a year now. I actually went to the doctors in November to ask them if a pain I was having in my pelvis and my grumpy, irritable mood could be from the Mirena. I was told I probably had post pardum depression and possible a cyst, instructed to wait until after 6 or 7 months post pardum to see if my mood improved and get a follow up ultrasound if the pain in my pelvis got worse. Well that particular pain did go away, so I figured they were right, I let the "thing" do it's job and tried to forget about it as I was instructed to do. But the moodiness NEVER went away! I forgot who I was altogether, could not go to work any more, and attributed it to being a new mother, things change! Another 6 weeks later I actually split up from my fiance as I had driven him crazy... I spent Dec-Feb alone with a tiny baby, depressed out of my mind, and TOTALLY out of it everyday. Zero energy, but I figured I was just depressed. My fiance and I have since gotten back together after I practically had to tear him out of the arms of another woman, and convince him I could change. Still in all that time I never thought about the IUC. I still feel sooo freaking tired all the time, which has progressively gotten worse, and would have kept on except that about two months ago my back started hurting. I thought I pulled a muscle, so I stayed layed up resting. I thought I needed a new mattress so I went out and got another one, no change... Then I started thinking I might have some sort of infection, because Ive never had any muscle pain that lasted 6 weeks for no reason. I remembered the Mirena having PID warnings about people with multiple sex partners. Even though I have only had one, he had another, so I'm thinking I must have an infection and set up an appt to see the OB and get tested... In the meantime I came to this site after my mother sent me link of side effects... I read a few more each evening and have become more and more convinced that this is the problem, not only with my debilitating back pain (which has progressed into abdominal pain shooting down my legs as well), which has now progressed from irritable to severe, and not being able to function day-to-day. But also the moodiness, angriness, depression, foggy headedness, dizziness, headaches, lack of sexual desire, bloated feeling, insomnia - big time, I can be tired all day and it takes me two hours to fall asleep at night, then I sleep 10 hours and spend the next day tired all day - its not any way to live and I'm fed UP!!! - And then the hair thing... this topped it off for me, just too weird that all these people have the same problems, convinced me that I was fixable! It would have never occurred to me before I read this, but one day about 5 months ago I woke up with a weird new layer of very short hairs at the front of my scalp, not noticing severe hair loss, but my hair is VERY thick, so I cant really tell, but I did notice the short ones popping up. I actually thought my fiance cut my hair to use for voo-doo or something, I also thought my mother in law gave me something to dry up my breast milk, because shortly after having the "thing" installed my milk inexplicably dried up while we happened to be staying a week with them, now I think it was the Mirena. I have an appointment Thursday to take the "thing" out, and I am nervous about the pain, disappointed because the "thing" was so expensive, and I'm unsure what else to do about BC. But REALLY looking forward to finding myself again, I miss me, I know my fiance does, and I think my child would like to meet me too ;)
... Even if it isn't doing all these things, the paranoia and psychological trauma Im feeling just thinking about it is enough to convince me that this IS NOT for me! Wish me luck - I will follow up in a few weeks

I must say I haven't had the slightest problem with this medication. I am a small girl (105 lbs.) and most medications usually hit me pretty hard, so I am surprised to read so much negativity concerning this pill. I will say that I was thrilled at how fast it knocked out my sinus infection and I would definitely use it again should one reoccur.

I had the mirena inserted about 2 months ago, almost immediately I noticed that my hair started falling out, every time I run my fingers, comb, brush through my hair hair i would get a hand full of hair. I thought it was due to giving birth, because you do loose a little with each baby, but it is getting worse by the day. I then noticed that I kept having knee pain, I though I may have slept wrong or pulled something, but it keeps happening over and over. I also started having waves of dizziness which happens on average of twice to three times a day. I also have been gaining weight and i have always been a very small girl and lost weight very easily. Thank God that I found this website, because I am calling my doctor tomorrow and having this thing removed before it does anymore damage to my body!

I am very surprised how many people are having such bad side effects with Mirena. My friend had it after her 2nd child and loved it...no periods, no effects whatsoever. So after my 3rd child I had it put in also. My son was about 9 months old by then. There was just a little discomfort (cramping) when putting it in. After that, nothing. My doctor had wanted to put it in while I was bleeding, but since I was still breastfeeding I did not have a period yet, so she tried to put it in anyways and it didn't work. She said my body must not be a candidate for it since it just got pushed out. I wasn't too happy with that doctor already, so I went to Planned parenthood later and they were able to put it in with absolutely no problem whatsoever. Went back for the checkup and everything was fine. I've had it for a little over 3 years now and have had no periods, just some spotting for one to two days a month and that's it. I have always been a small girl, and wanted to actually GAIN weight but can't seem to. I thought maybe the Mirena caused weight loss, especially since my breasts are smaller than ever! I'm so sorry to hear of other people's problems with it but my experience has been just fine. Just remember, everyone has a different body and as we age, people go through different things no matter what. I am planning on having it removed within the next year so we can have another child, so will update on that progress later...

ok, so i've been on loestrin 24 for a week or so, and i know it hasnt been long but i feel like a ticking time bomb! I feel shaky and jittery and moooooody! My teacher told me th other day to go find something to do...alone...so i could chill out b/c my temper was showing it's ugly face. I've been on ortho before and my blood pressure shot up, the moodiness and stuff was better but I haven't had any kind of problem like these. I don't know if i should wait it out some more or what. I'm not quite sure if my classmates or my family can take much more...OH...and the weight gain, I've noticed some bloating and i'm not a small girl and i already have DDD boobs....have a lot of you had breast size increase? let me know if you have any advise.....kurtney_monster@yahoo.com

OMG! I'm so happy to have found this site. I HATE the NuvaRing. I liked it at first because it seemed easy. after being on it for a few months I have gained 10 pounds, I'm a rather small girl, I have random migraines and worst of all I'm very very depressed, irritable, anxious, tired. I have had emotional issues in the past but never have i cried this much or been so sensitive. My boyfriend thinks I'm loosing it and now I know why. DAMN THE NUVARING

Hello Everyone,

I attempted to post some of my symptons, last week, but apparently, they're lost on this site somewhere. I've been on Yasmin, for about 3yrs, just about, and started seeing symptons after about 6 months, and they really stepped up after 1yr, thought I knew was related to my pill, but I thought that they would level out, whenever my hormones adjusted. I guess not! I was just floored when I found this site. I had made a decision to stop taking Yasmin, as I was convinced that it was the root of all my evil, literally! I will just give you a quick cap on a few of my symptons. They are, as follows:
* Excessive Weight Gain ( I was always a small girl even after my pregnancy) (20lbs in 1.5yrs)
*Lost Labido (It's like playing hide and seek with your own body)
*Pain, nausea & occasional vomiting following CLIMAX ( a real Sexual killer)
*Increased Acne
* Killer MOOD SWINGS!!!! (Nobody would even touch me before they were sure I had my coffee!)(BAD Mornings)
*Increased hunger ( I was never satisfied)
*Loss of Energy
*Loss of sexual and normal touch sensation
* Cervical Displasia- level IV ( w/in 1 year of a healthy pap)
I was told that this was the fort knox of all bc. Why would my doctor prescribe me bc, which has not been tested more extensively, on the side effects. I am so shocked. I trusted what my doctor said. I am hoping, well not hoping, that somebody out there has had the pain and nausea after climax. My doctor told me that I might be allergic to my partners sperm, even though he had no issue climaxing. It was only when I did the deed. It was even more severe about a week prior to my cycle. I thought that I was loosing my mind, or phsycologically creating my own disease. My doctor had never heard of such pains in relation to intercourse. I told one of my best friends about this site, since her doctor just prescribed her Yasmin. She has enough issues of her own. She definitely does not need more.
I am nearing 3wks free from Yasmin, and I have noticed an enormous change in my appetite, labido ( not to mention, no more pains), moods, and my energy levels. I feel so great. Now, I just have to find another way, not to get pregnant. I just hope and pray that I don't suffer hair loss, headaches, or heart palpitations. That would just put icing on the cake. I pray for a speedy recovery, for everyone affected by this poison.
Intrigued!!
