I have had my Mirena out for around 2months and thought I should let others now the outcome. I experienced depression and an almost complete loss of libido. I have two young children who aren't great sleepers and we are renovating, so it took me 12months and reading discussions like these to consider that Mirena may have been a contributing factor. My local doctor dismissed the potential link between the two. The family planning clinic where I returned to have it removed did not dismiss my suggestion and immediately removed it. I felt better within a week! I didn't feel like a big fat blimp even though my weight hadn't changed and my libido returned. I have stopped taking all medications and feel fantastic. I have always had problems with the hormones in the pill and Mirena was no different regardless of the low dosage. Good luck in working out what works for you.
