Sterilisation symptoms and conditions

Hi Guys

I had the Mirena fitted 9th May 2008

I had it fitted because I have two kids, one with CF so had decided that was me finished, and they said I was too young for sterilization (29 I don't think so), So we agreed on the Mirena

It has been the worst decision ever, I have suffered from the thing was put in.

I had discomfort pain with insertion but not too bad, but felt really faint and dizzy like the whole day, just had to go to bed!

So then I bled non stop for 6 weeks, the bleeding stopped a few days before my 6 week checkup which showed everything was fine and it was in the correct position.

My symptoms include:
Extremely oily skin, especially on my face
Spots!!! aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Hot flushes and generally hot all of the time
Tired all of the time no matter how much sleep I get
Lack of concentration, really bad even when I try to concentrate mind just clouds
Dizziness and faintness feeling
Much hungrier and crave chocolate all the time
I suffer from heartburn always but it has gotten worse
I have pain in my lower back every morning
I have had this thing in for 14 weeks and I have had 7 bouts of thrush, it just won't go away
And my sinuses are so well blocked I feel like someone has poured concrete into my head, my ears are blocked my nose everything it's terrible

Anyhow, sorry for the long rant!, I'm having this thing removed on Friday (22nd August 2008) I really hope things improve quickly

It took me quite a while to realize maybe it was the coil, although hubby said all along it was the mirena!!

I will let you all know how it goes

Out of all birth control's this has to be the worst i have tried (apart from regular Coil), since having it fitted on 23/08/06 i have gained many many pounds and after eating i bloat to the extent that i look 8-9 months pregnant, have constant hot flushes, tired to the point were i have to drag myself out of bed, mood swings and loss of libido. After it was inserted i had a light brownish/reddish discharge for 2/3 months, which left in the only way to describe it, a bleach stain on my underwear (has anyone else had this? Sorry for being so graphic!), i am constantly buying new underwear, not that i mind that too much!! My G.P. told me yesterday that he thinks it has nothing to do with the Mirena (i suffer from IBS), he changed my medication and advised that if i felt it necessary to come back for blood tests. My birth control before was Yasmin, i changed this as i gained weight, bloated, had constant mood swings and loss of libido........Why??? I have now come to the conclusion that i have made my contribution to Mankind and maybe it is time for sterilisation!!!
