Hello everyone. I have had my mirena in for 2 years now and have absolutely no desire for sex at all. I decided to google the Mirena side effects to see what I could find and this site came up. Let me tell you all your story sound just like mine, but the one symptom that I haven't seen is having symptoms similar to Lactose intolerance or Gluten intolerance. I did find this ****** website and it specifically states "Glucose Tolerance Levonorgestrel may affect glucose tolerance, and the blood glucose concentration should be monitored in diabetic users of Mirena ." Now I am not a diabetic, but my family Dr. said that I had all the symptoms of being Glucose intolerant. I was tested and came out negative. Also all my symptoms increase the longer I go with out a period. I usually go 2 months without, as soon as I have it it is like my body come back to normal for a week. Now my husband is all about permanent solutions, so I told him that I was ready for a more permanent birth control. snip snip. I am planning on having mine taken out this year. I just want my body back. Oh this website that I have attached is the actual Official FDA information sheet that we don't get to see, but the doctor does. Make sure you read the adverse reactions. Here they are so if you don't get to the website. Adverse Reactions The most serious adverse reactions associated with the use of Mirena are discussed above in the Warnings section. Others are presented in the Precautions section. Other adverse events reported by 5% or more subjects include: Abdominal pain Upper respiratory infection Leukorrhea Nausea Headache Nervousness Vaginitis Dysmenorrhea Back pain Weight increase Breast pain Skin disorder Acne Decreased libido Depression Abnormal Pap smear Hypertension Sinusitis Other reported adverse reactions occurring in less than 3% of patients include: failed insertion, migraine, vomiting, anemia, cervicitis, dyspareunia, hair loss, eczema. ******
