Hello everyone i'm kharma..I've had my mirena IUD for alittle ove...

Hello everyone i'm kharma..I've had my mirena IUD for alittle over a year, insertion was February 07. here's my experince...Insertion was very painful and contiually had contractions for several weeks.My first period was about three weeks after insertion,it was extreemly heavy,lasted 7 days ,had huge clots as well.For the first six months I spoted lightly on a dailly basis,also had side effects such as anixity,moodswings acne on back(never had it there before),insommia,major bloating,and some headaches..No weight gain though! Around the six month mark...everything seemed to adjusted,thank God. I now have very light 2-3 days of spotting once a month, acne seemed to be clearing up as well,bloating has stopped my side effects are no longer a problem.As for my labido..sense mirena..its better than it ever was, when I was on b/c pills I had no labito..so thats been a plus..Now right around my year mark ,I've had weight loss vs gain..I've loss 27 pds..yeah...I guess everyone's boby is different,my heart goes out to everyone who's having problems..i too was scared and wanted mine removed during first six months.But I'm now grateful i waited and my body adjusted to the mirena.Hope this gives some hope...kharma...
