Well here's yet another unsatisfied customer. I am so relieved t...

Yes! It started back at the end of December. I was a healthy 28 year old when I got this inserted in August 2006. Then turning 30, I could not believe how crappy I felt. In December 2007, I got a yeast infection and didn't know why. I am not prone to these at all. I got a prescription form teh GYN. Then like a month later, another one. Back to teh doctor's. Then they said it was vaginitis because my pH was all the way at the darkest end of the spectrum (blue) on the THIRD visit. It was awful. i felt hurt and sensitive all teh time. My love life was shambles and I still had to deal wiht all of the other many, many, and i mean MANY symptoms from what I thought was just me getting old. I finally put it together that right before my period, these infections would start. The doctor noticed it too. Never in my life did this happen!!! Then I started reading these posts while I was looking up vaginitis and yeast infections. Then my hubsnad asked to look up Mirena as well. I found this site. It is horrible to see so many women suffering and others whose marriages have been broken. I finally broke down and got it removed on May 2nd. I started to feel better instantly. The hormone was still in my body so it reacted to a period with the feeling of a yeast infection. Since then it has been ok. No issues. I am slowly regaining my life back and my health. :) We are trying to conceive as well and after that, no more babies. Two is enough! If anyone asks you about this sort of thing, tell them that yes, someone did experience it; tah vaginitis AND yeast at the same time, month after month. It does mess with your hormones, body and many other things. Not just physically. I am a living testimony of this.

I had my mirena inserted last November for controlling my heavy period. I had spoting on and off for more than two months. And after that my period completely estopped. Since then I had more discharge than I normally did. In March, I had a very severe infection, unbearable itching and irritation. I went to the doctor and given yeast infection treatment (I never had yeast infection before). I finally felt better after one week. Then one month later, I had the same problem again. I searched on line and found out I am not the only who had mirena related yeast infection. Thanks for those who posted their experience, otherwise I would never related this to Mirena. Without a second thought, I had it removed two weeks ago. I wish my doctor could have warned me this side effect. I do have one question. How long will it take to be back to norma after the removal. Because I still have minor irritation and abnormal discharge.
