Wait another day symptoms and conditions

I had the Mirena inserted 11 days ago. Since then, I experienced a 4 pound weight gain, increased joint pain, depression, and sore breasts. After reading this message board, I decided I didn't want to wait another day to get it removed. I already have a diagnosed mood disorder and I lost 50 lbs a year ago, which I have successfully been able to keep off through diet and exercise. I didn't want to risk gaining weight and becoming more depressed. I made an appointment to get it removed this afternoon and the appointment was with a male doctor I had never seen before (he was the only one in the practice with a last minute opening). Luckily, my female doctor checked in with me for a minute before my appointment to find out why I wanted it removed. I told her and she said she completely understood. The male doctor later came in and said he couldn't understand why I was having the side effects because the hormones were only in my uterine area and not in my bloodstream. What a jerk! He went ahead and removed it anyway. I am so relieved I found this board and I had the darn thing removed.

I've been on Femcon for about 5 months now, my first birth control ever. The first month was total hell for me. During the second week of active pills I began bleeding. It was light at first, and I thought it was just spotting. It got really heavy though the next few days, like a normal period. I called the doctor that day to ask if I would still have my normal period at the end of the active pills. She said, yes. After I hung up, I cried... the pills made me REALLY emotional. And I didn't want to have essentially TWO periods in one month. It was terrible.

Since then the pills have been fine. No irregular bleeding or even spotting anymore. Although this month has been a similar circumstance to that so far. I think it may be because I'm pregnant. Hopefully not though. I'm currently bleeding again when my period isn't due for a week. We'll see. If it's the birth control acting up again, I'm getting a new one.
