Tiny things symptoms and conditions

Hi everyone. So I got the Mirena two weeks ago. I did my research on the internet before getting this put in. I did see all the bad posts and I went in and talked to my doctor about it. She told me the hormone level that reaches your blood stream is so small that it cant have effects on you. She said she just wondered if the people posting on here just had other things going on or what not. She has also had the Mirena for six years and loves it.

On the other hand when I got it in I was on like day five of my period. It did pinch a little but wasn't overly painful. I did get cramps on the way home and I did take two ibuprofen before I went in. I would get sharp pains every once in a while too. Enough to where you stopped and said " ouch. " But I wasn't bleeding until like later on that day. I bled for a week and a half. I was bleeding to where I would soak two liners per day. It seemed like a lot of blood. Plus I felt like I was on my period the whole time.

My other side effect that I just cant handle at the moment are: my hair falling out. Im talking a ton of hair. I cant believe how much hair! ****** This is a picture right after I took a shower last night. That is from only one shower. Its falling out all the time. Its been doing it for about a week. But its every where!!

Since I got this in I have been tired. I notice a huge change with that. I just have been so sleepy. I was sleeping four hours at the most with my baby and I was doing so good not looking and being tired. Then he started sleeping 6 hours through the night.... and that made me have so much more sleep. I feel so much worse. I hate it!

Another effect: About 4 days after getting this in I just was mad. I told my husband I was just so mad that I couldn't stand it. Nothing happened to me.... but I was so pissed. I can tell I have changed. My moods have changed. Im being way more honest than I normally am. Little tiny things make me mad super fast and Im being mean. My husband even approached me last weekend and said that I have said a lot of mean things over the last two weeks. I can notice that Im different but didnt realize I was being mean. He can notice a huge change.

Just One More Effect: Sex drive is gone. I was talking to my husband the weekend before about my drive being very high... then BAM I got this thing in and its gone! The sex drive being gone, being mean, and careless is enough to ruin a marriage to me.

I just called to ask if I can get this thing out. I just cant do this anymore. I have to wait four more weeks before I can get it out. Plus I have to pay 150 bucks on top of the 385 to get it put in! I have read that some people tolerate this very well... and others just don't. I rarely have found someone that has been in the middle. Its one way or the other. Dont you notice that?!

Feel free to email me if you want to talk more. I honestly don't mind.

i'm 17. I have extremely bad asthma. and i've had it all my life. i remember being 3 taking nebulizers. i don't know it had gotten better, worse or stayed the same over the years. but i started taking asthma preventers medications because it was really out control. i have horrible allergies all together (which really is all asthma is) but little, tiny things will set asthma attack off instantly, like a short breath from under my bed or even steam from the dishwasher o_O. so i needed to go on preventers. i went from prevention inhalers, pills then finally advair.(and no doubt it works the Best) i was still kinda a kid at the time so it was 100/50, im to young to remember any side effects. but 100/50 wasn't cutting it, so i went to 250/50 , im still on it today. its hard to notice rashes, sinus, mental etc, problems because i have soooo many other allergies. plus im taking medications from them to.
i'd say im pretty healthy though, despite asthma i still play sports and i don't have to use my inhaler THAT much when i take advair it does work good, and i don't really notice all the symptoms/ side effects mentioned in the other comments, its a very good possibility some people are just allergic to advair, i was allergic to some meds i was on, plus, advair is a drug. Every drug Will have some kind of side effects unless its all natural. i question albuterol, i'll find myself reaching for puff when i don't even need it. O_O ! even with the new cfc free inhalers they have out.

My two sons have been taking Singulair off and on for allergy symptoms. Recently, I noticed this was causing both of them some side effects. With my youngest son, I noticed some serious mood swings and just discussed this a couple of weeks ago with a close friend. I told her what I thought was causing his mood changes, stomach aches, and etc. I experienced some over the weekend because my son was given this medication by mother that had some at her house just in case one of them needed the medication for asthma or allergies. I hadn't discussed this with my parents because I was logging this in a notebook, and I was confirming some things before I told anybody else what I thought about Singulair. Guess what? It happened again because it was administered to my youngest son by my mother not knowing my concerns. I didn't tell her because they went over late that evening then coming back in the morning. I wished I would have told her. Although, she feels very badly because I did tell her about my concerns after she had told me she had given this Singulair to him. This was after I had told her he was a a major mood swing!!!! Outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My oldest son has experience major headaches, biting my husband and my head off over tiny things. (Thought it was the teenage thing.) I will not be giving my children SINGULAIR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm so glad I googled side effects of Yasmin and found this site. All of the sudden my mood swings for the past almost YEAR make sense. I started out fine. The pill was great, and I haven't had to worry about acne at all. Of course I gained a few pounds, but not too much. However, I'm a pre medical student trying to study for the MCAT this summer. I've been SO tired and drained and majorly depressed that I just can't seem to concentrate. I feel like I'm always crying over the stupidest stuff (AKA: no reason at ALL), and my grades are starting to suffer. Hopefully now that I've read this, I can stop taking this pill and see an improvement. It's just not worth the depression. I'm 22 right now, and until recently had never had a suicidal thought. I was starting to panic, because I couldn't identify the cause of my depression. I'm a good student, have lots of friends, and have the most amazing boyfriend and family. Life is good, I shouldn't feel this bad. Now that I have a clue as to what this may be, I can fix it.

Hi everyone!
Well. It's now been 6 1/2 weeks since I took my last Yasmin pill. My husband told me yesterday that I seem more like myself these days! I asked him to describe how I USED to act. He told me that I would go off on a tangent for no reason,get my feelings hurt over tiny things,have days where I'd hardly talk at all. He said he's glad his wife is back!
Guess what?? I mentioned the side effects of Yasmin we have all discussed here to my doctorS (ob/gyn/internal specialist/family md & ENT!)....they all said they've never heard of any of it! They offered me Paxil,Zoloft,referral to psychotherapists, endless tests and bloodwork. I mean, Holter monitor,EKG,Echocardiogram,3 blood tests, and tomorrow they want to do a CT scan on my head. I'm thinking I don't really want to expose my head to radiation over this.
I've not had anymore "attacks",no heart palpitations,my so-called IBS with diarrhea has miraculously disappeared! But they doctors don't believe it could be the Yasmin because it's "such a mild dose of hormones". Can you all believe this??
I'm so freaked out over what's happened to me these past few months that I don't know that I'll ever take BC pills again. I'm contemplating asking to have my tubes tied. Really!
I'm so glad I accidentally found this site. Now if I could just find something to explain the burning pain sensation down the side of my neck and in my inner left ear and the tingles in my left arm I'll be SOOO happy. Could these be side effects too after 6 1/2 weeks off Yasmin?
Take care all of you. I'll check back periodically to see how everyone is doing! :o)
