I had Mirena put in on April 23rd. Since then I feel as though I'm a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm filled with rage one minute, crying the next, out of my mind...Bleeding, cramping, back pain. I delivered my 2nd child in Feb. and experienced post partum depression with my first child. I was feeling very good after the birth of my 2nd child until I had this thing put in my body. I called my dr and was directed to 3 different people. One woman when I was trying to explain why I wanted it out actually told me to "ride out the hormones" and hung up on me! I never got to speak to my Dr. and today tried to call again. I'm going in on Tuesday to get it out of my body. I feel very strongly about this. What upsets me the most is that this is MY body and regardless as to why I want it out of me, they should be respecting my decision NOT hanging up the phone, not acting like this "miracle" drug can do no harm when clearly it can as stated on the brochure they give you in the office. While not many may suffer there are some that do and it should be respected and not dismissed when brought to a doctor's attention!!! I don't like how the doctor's office tried to make this as though I'm just CRAZY or this is in my head. I've been seeing a therapist for three years and she encouraged me to get this thing out of me if its causing me that much anxiety!!! We are NOT crazy and we know our bodies best. Quite frankly I feel violated as there is a foreign object in my body that my Dr. doesn't seem to want to take out despite the fact that this is my wish.

this mirena is a real mess of the contraception and I think it does not deserve the word 'medicine'. Would never ever have it again and it caused me an early menopause at age of 45!
