Wow, I am amazed guys. As far as not really having a period, I love it. but, just recently I have started questioning my Mirena. I have been complaining about being totally and completely exhausted. I have to get my 2 older kids off to school and lay back down for more rest. I just cannot seem to "catch up" on sleep. Everyone says, oh its because you have 5 kids, but the more I think about it, it has come on since I have had the Mirena. The biggest problem has been that my husband and I are on the verge of divorce because I have absolutely NO sex drive. I could care less if I ever had it again. I am only 30 years old, I should be in my prime shouldn't I? I have started counseling to try to save my marriage, and while I think there are some other issues too, I truly believe since I have had the Mirena, it has taken my sex drive from little to none. I cannot stress "NONE" enough. Unlike many of you others my husband is not as patient. I think I need to make a phone call to my GYN. Oh yeah, I have had severe acne since I have gotten it as well.

Please get it out asap. It's the Mirena allright. It can kill your sex drive completely.

Thats so true!!! My husband started thinking I was going out with someone else. I'm 35 yrs old and I don't care about sex at all. My husband started telling me that I should be the one wanting have sex all the time since I should be in my prime. At first I thought, maybe the kids or stress. I have to make and extra effort to be with him, and I feel so dry that it's a bit uncomfortable at the begining. I will have it remove today, let's see what happens with my sex drive then.

Same thing happened to me. Mind-numbong exhaustion, pain in my extremeties (to the point where my regular MD thought it mught be a DVT but it stil l didn't fit the pattern - I was starting to wonder if I'd developed CFS or fibromyalgia), ACNE like I haven't had for 20 years, weight gain, panic attacks, no sex drive...you name it. I had mine removed 3 days ago, got a period today so I'm hoping that will lessen some of the "rebound" symptoms that have been worse over the past couple of days. My doctor was great about it, said that there is a percentage of the population that will react badly to the hormones and that the idea the Mirena's hormones are not systemic is BS.

Get it removed immediately. It will take a bit for you to get abck to normal, but just part of the detox from the hormones.
