OMG... After reading everyone's stories... I know I am not alone....

OMG... After reading everyone's stories... I know I am not alone. Mirena was placed on April 24th, 2008. IThe only reason I got Mirena is because I felt pressured into doing so. I have recently miscarried and was a little afraid to try and conceive again. I have two small kids already. I informed the doctor that I really may only need the birth control for a year or so and the doctor still insisted on this bull**** device. Insertion was horrible, they tell you to cough as if it will ease the pain. I have been having horrible pain that seems to be in my right ovary. The pain seems to be very sporatic and when it hits its just like a previous poster said ... LIGHTINING! I have large clots during and after my period. Not to mention when I am on my period I have the loudest odor ever. This is so not cool. I have an appointment to have it removed August 21st. I cannot wait any longer. As I am typing I am in so much pain. I have been under so much stress since I have had this thing put in. I am irritable, overly emotional, bitchy, and I have no sex drive. My husband is becoming extremely concerned at this point. Ladies... please beware. I really think I may have long term issues from this piece of crap. I will let you all know about the removal process.
