hi everyone I am 22 years old and have had mirena for about 3 weeks. They told me that I was the perfect canidate for hte mirena. I should have known something was up when they gave me the mirena for FREE and charged me up front for the insertion. The insertion was painful and I almost backed out. I should have listened to my inner voice. I also wish i was told about the really serious side effect from the mirena. I m so scared now I want to have it removed but of course it cost money. I have been feeling side effects but i didn't think any thing of it. The mood changes, depression, pain in my back and down my legs. I have had such bad headaches i don't know what to do. I have gained 10 lbs since having the mirena. Why do they lie to us and tell us it is going to be ok and that it is a great desicion to get mirena? How is it that they can get away with the lies and all the pain that the women have to go through to get it in and out. I hope that everything is ok inside. I can not feel my strings and I am scared to death right now. Some thing has to be done. It is not right for these companies to put our lives at risk just to make some money. I feel like i have been played and like i just made the biggest mistake of my life. Somebody needs to do something. I need to get this thing out of me.
