I am getting mine removed FRIDAY!! And Friday can't come soon en...

hello,i too had shocking side effects with mirena,i got mine taken out one week ago and i can promise you you will be back to how you was, i feel brilliant now i only had it in for 2 weeks and i suffered terribly with depression,insomnia,anxiety,heart palpitations,pins and needles in my arms,no appetite,i thought i was going crazy,i now have a copper iud and apart from heavier bleed its great,get that thing REMOVED and look forward to feeling good again,i wish you all the luck. mandy

I had all the above symptoms to, as well as anxiety and depression to where i wanted to kill myself. I was ready to give my daughter to my sister cause i am a single mother and i didnt know why i was so depressed they had me an all kinds of med's for anxiety and depression then my friend googled mirena and anxiety and tons of stuff came up if it wasnt for her i would had probably went through with suicide. That is how bad i had it and my obgyn told me i was crazy and literally told me off cause i never allowed him to insert that IUD in me i was counseled for a paraguard one so when i told him how i felt he said i was nuts and literally kicked me out of his office. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND YOURSELF YOU KNOW HOW YOU FEEL AND IF YOU FEEL DIFFERENT THAN YOU ARE!!! Your body never lies to you. I thought i was going crazy i didnt know what was wrong with me, also thinning hair and acne as well. As soon as i took it out i had this sense of like i just felt free, it took a month or two to balance my hormones back to normal and i had the paraguart IUD inserted in me and i feel absolutely fine. Like a normal person again and love being with my daughter and never EVER feel the way i did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called my OB/GYN and inquired about the paragard. I talked to the nurse and she had to talk to my Dr. SOOOO in the mean time I called back my GP and instead of talking to Mr. Dr. I talked to Mrs. Dr. (his wife) and asked her to look in her book and tell me all the possible side effects of the Paragard. She looked in my chart and asked my why Mr. Dr. perscribed me (she said the name I can't remember, GO FIGURE) basically a water pill. I told her that he basically said the way I was feeling was PMS. And then I said Well I have been suffering from PMS then for 3 mos straight!! So she asked me again all the things I was feeling and she said yeah they are all contrubuated to the progesterone. And that the Paragard is non-hormonal and would probly be a better form for me. I then told her that 9 yrs ago I was on the Depo shot. And that basically drove me nuts too. And it wasn't till Mr. Dr. mentioned that the Depo. is pergestrone (which I knew but again go figure didn't put 2 and 2 together MY MIND IS GONE!!) Mrs. Dr. told my friend that Mr. Dr is a a$$ when it comes to women issues he isn't the one to go to and to tell me (it didn't come from her :OD) to ask to see her from now on. Men just don't understand these type of things. So my OB/GYN finaly called back and the nurse said that yes the Dr. said we could go ahead and change and that my ins. co. would pay so its a go only problem is they have to order it and it will take about a week to get in. BUT she will call as soon as it comes in to make an appt. So we cancled Fridays appt. and I will have this life wrecker taken out and the paragard put in next week. I was a bit upset cauze this can't happen soon enough and my husband said what is a few more days??? I just about punched him dead in his face!! I said that is what a few more days are!!! SOOO I'm praying that it will come in FRI and we can make an appt for Mon or Tues!! I wrote my hubby a letter cauze I can't seem to convey my feelings to him well actually I don't dare TALK to him cauze I can't remember words and I get real frustrated and then pi$$ed for my memory loss (I mean its BAD I forgot to go and pick up my 9 yr old from school yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH THAT BAD!! I had to have my husband leave work early cauze my van hadn't been touched sence last week and it had snow and ice caked to it!) and I get irate and makes matters worse so I wrote him a letter and TRIED to tell him what mentaly I'm going through. Well I guess writing my feelings didn't do too well either he really hasn't spoke to me and won't even come in my vacinity hes keeping his distance. So I must have offended him some how. And when he does talk I get my face snapped off! Or its just my perception. Depression is setting in bad and yeah the Anxiety is there too! And now my 1 yr old and 3 yr old are sick! SOOO At least I KNOW that I'm touchy and what is wrong and I keep telling myself OK RELAX! It's not as bad as it seems! You will make it through the moment. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!! But he did kiss me this morning when he left for work. I talked to his cousin on the phone lastnight and he was right there and I was telling her and I think he got the gist. So maybe me being able to talk to her with out having to guard my words for fear of offending like I do with him maybe he understood what I was trying to say. If that makes sence. I don't know but anyhow its comming out and I can't wait!!!

I had the Mirena put in about 5 weeks ago, and had it removed 8 days ago, I am sooooo glad you are getting it out! It is amazing how much trouble this iud can cause with your emotions and body, I ended up in the emergency room twice, the first time was for anxiety attack, heart paplitations, numbing in my hands and arms, nausea, depression the second time was for nausea, I was so sick I had to have a relative come over to watch my kids(I have an 8 month old and a 6 year old) My husband has been great about my emotions, one day I am good and the other I still feel the effects from the mirena, today has not been a very good day, I still have feelings of sadness thet overcome me during the day, they say it takes a month or two to get back to normal, I do not have heart palpitations anymore, the main thing I have now are some mental "fog" where I feel like I am outside of my body, nausea - to the point that I can't even eat a crumb, or think about eating a crumb, and some depression, they call this the "Mirena crash" they say you have the crash on and off for about 10 days and the you begin to feel better, I have had mine out like I said for 8 days and I do feel better, nothing can be worse than having the mirena stil in me, so you can expect to feel somewhat sick and tired but know that things do get better once the mirena is out. I am going through it too, I hope you feel better when it is out. I will keep everyone posted on how long it actually takes for me to feel like I am 100% back to normal. Danielle

I had went back to my OB/GYN 2 times after getting this. Once for cramping! OMG I had pitocin for my 2nd child and the cramping was almost as bad as that!! 2nd time for Eczma. Well then to my GP also so thats 3 times. I'm aware of my moods and I'm depressed. Its getting bad. To the point to where I'm almost ready to go back to the Dr. to have some antidepressants. BUT I keep saying that it will get better when this comes out so I'm trying to hold on. I don't want to go on them and then wean off them and then who knows ya know?? I don't even like Tylenol or pain relievers like that. Well I should have thought this thing in me is secreting forign crap into my body. I have 4 boys (1 (just turned one on the 1st), 4 in March, 9 in Jan, and 15 in 2 weeks) and then of course we hav the biggest kid of all who is 37!! I'm a stay at home mom and useto love it! Now I'm not doing well. I can't deal with crap like normal. Chaos is normal here (I forgot to mention I also babysit for 4 girls too) and I have NEVER had a problem with kids screaming or running around. Lately I'm a basket of nurves!! I can't deal with my normalitys here anylonger. Its bad! I feel better being able to talk to people who actually understand and know what I'm talking about! I mean even Mrs. Dr. took a ton of weight off my shoulders when she actually seemed like she knew how I am feeling. And didn't bursh me off saying take this pill and you'll be better in the morning! I think I'm changing from Mr. Dr. to Mrs. Dr. He is good but she seems like she is more relatable. I just hope there aren't long lasting effects of this. I mean I can live with some of them but NO sexual interest, and the Depression, Nervousness, I CAN'T live with!!!! I know if this don't come out and I get basically back to normal my marriage will be over. My husband don't come near me. Which in a way I don't blame him I'm a royal bitch most of the time and when I'm not my moods change so quick he probly don't want to chance it! All I know is its comming out and I hope its not too late for my marriage!!

I lasted 3 weeks with the Mirena and thought that I was going to die. I collapsed howling (I never cry) and was sent into uncontrollable spasms that lasted from 30 seconds to a couple of hours. I had no interest in sex. I got angry at everyone. I felt claustrophobic and suffocated anywhere indoors or around people. Everything became an effort. I slept all day and couldn't bare the thought of work. Yesterday my mom rushed me to the hospital to have it removed, I felt instantly better as if some small creature had been biting me and finally let go. Today I am tired from all of the crying, but feel lighter and stronger, albeit a bit dizzy with a slight headache. I cannot believe that something like this is available and legal - but all of our bodies are so different and react so differently...
All I can suggest is that if youre having any of these symptoms, get it out asap coz your body will still have to regulate after that as well.
And if it's working for you - then you are one of the lucky ones!

I had decided about 3 months ago that i wanted to remove my mirena because of the symptoms. I have done alot of research, my husband demanded that i be well informed before assuming that all my side effects were indeed from mirena. I concluded they were.

And along the way i discovered the way birth "control" really works. Mirena in no way stops ovulation. Therefore your body can continually be getting pregnant while on this product. Doesnt make sense you say? the mirena changes the lining in you uterus so the egg that has already been fertilized, now a living thing with all the dna it needs, your baby, is unable to implant to get nutriens from you uterus, thus starving all the while it can attempt to "implant" between 10-14 days, then it is flush out of your system, lifeless.

wonder why lots of mirena users report "i feel pregnant but the ept says no" its too early to detect, yet your body know. Extreme exhaustion, nausa, dizzyness, even tender breast....i am gonna say something bold....but obvious, THE DRUG COMPANIES ARE IN IT JUST FOR THE MONEY. they wont tell the truth.

the american medical association twisted the definetion of "life" as to be after implantation, however before that it was common knowledge that life begins at conception, that bundle of dna is your baby and is its own, not just a part of you.

There are links to birth "control" methods and cancers and such....doesnt that tell us something, its not good.

Go get a tubal, or use condoms until you can make that decision soundly, i am done with hormons and strange things just chilling inside me.
