I had Mirena put in after I my second baby. The doctor who seemed concerned because I was literally pregnant for two years in a row said I aught to use a form of birth control that would allow me to get on with my life without another pregnancy. I thought she was right since having two babies back to back really did a number on me. I gained like 45 to 60 pounds on my pregnancy. And right after my second baby, I had mirena put it. It's been four years and since then, and things have been really bad. I have major depression, I am very moody, and I feel lazy. I feel so tired and over weight. After attempting to loose weight with a combination of diet and exercise I realized that it's not working, Mirena is keeping from actually loosing weight and more than this it has contributed to my weight gain. Fatigue is also a factor, there are days I struggle to get out of bed. I'm only 27 and I feel so old, and fragile. The problem is I got Mirena put in when I had medical insurance, a year after my husband lost his great job. Now he works two jobs and still no medical insurance. What am I going to do since I have been wanting to be this removed. Anyway I am still glad that I found this website and read about others. And I noticed we SO MUCH IN COMMON......I'm not alone!

You can visit a place called Planned Parenthood they are in every state and they are government funded they will remove your Mirena for free and they will also give you a years supply of a new birth control.
