I had my Mirena inserted in July 2007, exactly 1 month after my s...

After reading everyone stories I am glad to say that I am not crazy. I had the Mirena Since Nov 06 and since then I have yeast infections monthly. Before the Mirena I have never had a yeast infection. The reason I chose the Mirena was to decrease my periods and a year later I am still waiting. Out of 31 days in a month I prob bleed for 15 days and once my period was gone yeast affection appears. This has been going on since July 07. When I call my Dr. his nurse makes me feel as if I am crazy. I dont have problem with acne but now I get hard pimples that hurt like hell. Also I have acne all over my back. I thought that these side effects would go away but they have not. I am calling my Dr first thing in the morning. Thank U!!!!

Oh man I feel the exact same way! I have the most wonderful life but find myself so depressed, tired and just down for no reason! I have never felt like this! I have had the Mirena for a year and 3 months and I have been going to the doctor none stop for my heart,anxiety, bowel problems, fatigue and I was on my way for depression but I decided God did not make me this way! So I liiked up on my IUD...well something my OB sad had barely any side effects makes me feel like a nut! So Jan, 15 it's comin out! ...Have you had any problems since getting it out? I just want to be me again!

I had mirena inserted a couple months after my 2nd child was born. It has been about 9 months and I have decided to have it removed. The main reason: depression and mood swings. I am 27 yrs. old, and never in my life have I had even a moment of depression until I had the mirena inserted. The first bout of depression probably came a few months after insertion (though I had had a lot of irritability from the time of insertion). I didn't know what was wrong with me since I had never experienced depression. I just felt "blah," wanted to sit on the couch all day - did not want to play with my children, clean the house, anything. It did not make sense until I spoke with my aunt who told me she had her mirena removed because it was making her very depressed and irritable! She got the copper one and no side effects except a slightly heavier period flow. I did not want to go through the pain of having it removed & having a copper iud inserted, so I have put it off for a long time, but I have had it with this thing and the pain will be worth it. I hate being so snippy with my wonderful kids and husband. They do not deserve for their wife and mommy to feel like this.
