I had a terrible experience with Mirena, I lasted seven months and I could not bear it any longer as the side effects were too great. I bled continuously for seven months give or take a few days here and there. I also had changes in my vaginal discharge whenever I wasn't bleeding. I became very self conscious and it greatly affected my sex life.Sex was painful at times too as I had unusual pains in my abdomen. My emotions were all over the place and I did start to worry that I had depression as I did not feel like myself at all. I am so relieved now that the Mirena is removed. I could not wait any longer for things to improve as my doctor assured me that they would. There was some trouble with having the Mirena removed as the string had gone up into my uterus. One doctor claimed that she could not do it and referred me to another who had no real trouble in getting out. I had a horrible experience with the Mirena as I did with Depovera. I cannot believe that some people have no trouble with these contraceptions, they are very lucky!
