I had Mirena put in on Monday at noon and had it removed on Wedne...

Oh my gosh I feel your pain. It is comforting to have someone else speak up! I agree. I was not told all of the complications and when I did present the problems they were dismissed. I am waiting on normal again. I will be hoping the same for you.

I am in the same boat right now. I have remained abstinent for 11 years and am about to be married in only 50 day! My son from a previous marriage is 18 years old. When I was looking for a birth control option, I decided on Mirena for many reasons. I was told there wasn't much weight gain and that the low levels of hormones that go straight to the uterus don't cause as many mood swings. The best part for me was that I wouldn't have to worry about anything for 5 years and most likely wouldn't even be bothered with a period. I am wondering now why I never read these blogs. Insertion was extremely painful for me and I was told that it wouldn't be. From day one, I was in a lot of pain. I was told that there would be mild cramping for awhile, but for 2 weeks I was in some extreme pain and there were nights that I just layed there and cried on the couch. One evening I told my Fiance to be ready to take me to the emergency room. The pain was as severe as a late state miscarriage I had 14 years prior. I didn't bleed for the first week, but now I have been bleeding for 15 days straight - not too heavy, but real steady. The severe pain has subsided, but for the last two weeks now, I have a constant ache and occassional bouts of stronger cramping. I am drained, emotional, and at first I wasn't sure if it was because I am also trying to plan a wedding, but I am usually not an angry person, but lately I have been snapping at my Fiance and then am crying. I feel like a mess. I've decided I have to get it out and do something different quickly before my wedding night. Thank you ladies for sharing your stories. Take care & God Bless!
