I am a 24 year old mother of two, a Four year old, and an 8 month old. I got Mirena inserted 10 weeks after the birth of my daughter. It sounded so appealing, just get it inserted and forget about it. Well it's been almost 6 months and I certainly haven't forgotten about it. I had constant bleeding when I first got it, I bled for two straight months. And more often then not since then. It is always unpredictable, so I usually either wear a tampon, or pantyliner, which is horrible. I have no idea when my menstrual cycle is anymore, and I always used to be like clockwork. Even when I'm not bleeding, I am having more discharge. I am always tender in my uterus, and quite often, I actually have contractions. It even hurts if my kids set on my lap too hard. I also have extreme moodiness, with feelings of guilt after outbursts. I haven't really gained weight, but I feel very bloated in my stomach. I have no energy, which I need with two kids. And about four months ago I broke out with eczema like rashes on my face. I never struggled with acne, and it never occurred to me until my mom suggested that it may be from the mirena. We don't think we want anymore children, but I feel like we are too young and it is too soon to do anything permanent. But I'm not sure if this is worth it. I have an appointment on April 2nd with my OB to discuss this, and I just might have it removed.
