I have had the Mirena in for about 8 mos.I love having no periods.But that is the only good thing I have found!I am 5.7" and weigh 186.I was 145 before I had my son.After I had him I was going to the gym every day and even had a personal trainer.It seems No matter what I eat good or bad I cannot lose the weight.I thought maybe it was just because I had a child, but Ive found other woman are having the same problem.Just cannot lose a pound.Until they get it removed.Before I got the Mirena I was already pretty emotional but now its ten times worse!And the acne, OMG!!! I have it so bad I am using face stuff everyday nothing is working.I have it on my face,arms,back and butt.Absolutely hideous.I feel like crap.I cant even walk in front of my husband without thinking he is thinking something bad about how I look.This has upped the depression,I am feeling like everything is screwed up in my life (but its not) its just my perception right now.I have found that the doctors look at me like I am lying to them, like its all in my head.I should print everyones blogs and show them to my doctor! It makes me mad that the medical industry will present something so perfect and screw how it effects peoples lives.I had to pay cash for the freaking thing too!That makes me even more pissed off.I want this thing out so bad.Now my husband and I are talking about vasectomy because its much easier then a tubal.Its sucks that we had to come to that.

Please get it out!!! I can't express it enough, I had similar symptoms. Mine included two ER visits one in which I felt like I was having a heart attack, and the next due to extreme nausea and an anxiety attack, I also had very bad depression, due to this the obgyn put me on lexapro, which made me feel dazed and in a fog, I am 27 and I have a 6 year old and an 8 month old, my husband and I suffered from these effects, I felt so sick all the time we had no sex life and I began to feel so depressed that I had thought of suicide, I can't urge you or anyone who is having these symptoms to take the mirena out immediately, it will only get worse! I had mine taken out a week ago and I had the infamous "mirena crash" they say it is similar to recvering from drugs, I was so sick I could barely move off of the couch, I had to have a relative come over to take care of my kids. Mt obgyn made me feel like I was crazy, she said there was no way the mirena was causing these effects however when I went to the ER the DR told me otherwise, it is pretty bad when an ER DR can know more about the mirena than an ob, crazy!! please do not wait, get it out, you will feel sick for a few days but after you get through it you will fell soooo much better, back to normal I say. I urge anyone who is thinking about the mirena as a bc to re-think. It has caused me nothing but misery and sickness, time away from my family. Danielle
