I got the Mirena back in early March 2008, with the hopes of having a lighter cycle each month after 30yrs of being a heavy bleeder. I must say that I started losing my hair in the front along with acne breakouts. I am moodier than before and suffer from breast tenderness. It is now going into June and I did not see a period this month, the other signs are still there but I will give it a few more months and see if my body will began to adjust to this change. I am now 40yrs old with 2 kids one going on 16 and the other going on 7, I want to enjoy my life without the thought of babies. My husband would be upset if he knew that I was back on birthcontrol since he is trying exstremely hard for us to have another one. I will keep you all posted in a couple of months as to what is going on.
