I'm back.. I posted back in June when I've had my Mirena for a fe...

that's great for you - I've had mine in almost 18 months - the first 10-12 months were fine, it was then that these hormones have had an effect on my body. don't get me wrong, I've an aunt and a friend who have no problems with their mirena, and I've also a couple of friends who have quite a few of the symptoms on here. Really can't wait to have it out personally. I had a pain free insertion, quite a heavy bleed for a few days, then a couple of months of spotting. Then I was symptom and period free for months. Now, I never know when a period is due, I spot all the time, moody - crazy at times - , constantly feel down in myself (depressed), migraine, twitching eye, weight gain beyond belief, the list goes on. I hope for ou that you are one of the lucky ones that MIUD works for. Good luck with it!

I just had the Mirena out last week I personally had lost my insurance and couldn't have it out any sooner, I had it in for 7 years, I agree that it works for no pregnancy but I weight the same as I did at delivery in fact I have gained 20 lbs more, the migraines were unbearable in fact I had an MRI done today. My suggestion is to not go with the Mirena but to think about the copper one without the hormone, my mood swings caused my divorce and the lack of sex drive didn't help please think about it....

I got an IUD on 08/12/08 i am bleeding which is probably normal right after getting this but i feel like its going to come out. Im a little scared of all the bad story but thats my only problem right now.. Is it normal to feel like its coming out..
