I have had my mirena for almost 6 weeks now - I am still having some bloating, indigestion, and joint pain - all of which my doctor says should not be related to Mirena. Also, moodiness and anxiety -which she said could be due to my post partum state or the fact that I am nursing - so we left it in for now. She said to give it another month or two - UGH - I don't want to give up on it - but it seems that those that have had it removed are feeling much better - please continue to post comments after removal for those of us on the fence about what to do.

At first I had all the symptoms you had.. and my dr told me as well that it wasent the mirena.. so i decided to stick it out for a few more months.. it totally sucked my first 3.. I was bleeding all the time.. horrible cramps.. breast hurt, sex drive low, hair falling out..ISERABLE.. but still i kept it in cause i knew it would benefit me in the long run. So after the first 3, i got only light spotting here and there from the 4th month to the 6th month.. Ive had it now for 10 months and I totally love it.. about 6 of my friends have it and they said they went through the same thing.. we all it and im glad i stuck it out. My sex drive is back, acne gone, lost 25lbs, no cramps, spotting sometimes ( only for a day at most)... no more anxiety.. my hair doesnt fall out either.. If your really worried about accidently getting pregnant then you should keep the mirena, its totally worth and, My fiance and I have had sex every day for 2 months and No pregnancy.. so far so good.. well good luck with everything and if you still dont like it after a few month, then maybe the mirena wasent right for you..:( take care
