I have had the Merina IUD for almost a year now ,, when I got it put it I thought I was gonna faint it was so painful,, I have had severe cramps non stop since I have had the IUD,, I have made several trips to the ER and they try to make it out like ive just got an infection ,well things never got any better so i kept on going until they told me something that was worth hearing well sure enough about 6mnths after having my IUD I got told that I had a 3cm by 3cm mass on my uteras that some women experience with an IUD and still its in my uteras right along with the IUD ,, and like all the other women out there having problems ,, I have experienced low sex drive , sever irritability, weight gain, and im just plain oumit miserable. I have been having an awful fishy smelling discharge for the past 3 months, and like most women my OBGYN tries to throw the truth of the matter off and try to make it out like im crazy,, heck no!! im not crazy and I know my body and I know this just aint normal,,so I made me an appointment at my local Health Dept to get this thing out of Sooo!!! to all the women out there that want an IUD I don't recommend it,, Its dangerous and all it does is destroy your body and your life :(.....I hope all goes well with all of you , best wishes and good luck!! Im ending my miserary ASAP!!!,,

Ok, I am glad I found this site! I have been having constant breast pain. on only my right side on top of my breast and on the side near my arm pit. It is only the right breast/right side. I think it is my Mirena too, but I have had the thing over a year. I am so afraid of having/getting Breast Cancer. I am a 26 yr old mommy of two little boys 5 and 1, plus a 12 yr old stepson who lives with me and my hubby. I called the Dr. today to make an appointment to have my breast checked.
I didn't read every single post, but **Is anyone else having breast pain like I explained? Mine started about two months ago...(right after my last pap/physical). I am so nervous. I have gained so much weight. I am bigger now than right after I delivered my 17 month old. Its all in my stomach. I have no sex drive and my BOOB hurts!!!!!
please let me know if any one else is experiencing this.
thanks!!!

I have had alot of the similar side effects with the mirena as have the rest of you. I had it put in sometime in June 08. My doctor said it was my only birth control option because i had a blood clot last summer after i had my baby. So i went with her on it, i had it put in, well right away, i started bleeding, constantly, and still am, cramping, im so tired, ive horrible mood swings, acne,bloating, and back pain. Ive associated the mood swings with my bi-polar disorder, i thought i was having a relapse and started taking my meds for it again, which i am so glad i found this site, because now i know it was the mirena. I went in the middle of sept to have my mirena checked out and i told my doctor i wanted it removed i couldn't handle the mood swings or the constant bleeding. She told me that the mood swings had nothing to do with the mirena, and that she could give me some pills to stop the bleeding, that where i had got the mirena put in my body was out of sorts and needed some medicine to get back in to a rhythm. I said okay. Well i took the hormones for a week, that ended Wednesday night, and here it is Saturday and im bleeding badly again, and cramping so bad, i can hardly sit here and type, so i am defiantly calling Monday to get it removed. When i went in last time she couldn't even find the mirena, i had to have an ultrasound, its been traveling upward in my uteras, and theirs no strings on it that they can see, so i have no idea how they are going to remove it, and i pray it don't take surgery. This is the biggest mess i have ever gotten myself into. I so wish i had done some research on this, besides mirena's pretty little website, before i had gotten it pt in.
