Hi all! I am not sure this is a new side effect, but it certainly hasn't been the most pleasant one. I have had ZERO sex drive. I had a baby in early Feb 08, had the Mirena inserted Apr 08. I thought my lack of interest was just being tired from dealing with the baby or frustration with learning how to be a mom and wife. Hubby and I had a little tiff over me not wanting to, again the other night, when it hit me. While plenty of the times I was tired or frustrated, more often than not, I truly just had NO interest. I would think, yeah, I could but I don't want to. This did not happen until after the mirena. I was very active prior to pregnancy, during pregnancy and even after pregnancy (pre-Mirena). Heck, the baby wasn't even sleeping through the night then! He has for months and I still wanted nothing. I don't think I realized it was a possible side-effect. The pamphlets say - "this is not a complete list, please see your health professional" As soon as I realized it, I called my OB to have it removed. They had a cancellation and I was able to get right in. After reading some of your posts, I am beginning to wonder if the fog I have been in can be attributed more to that as well. Time will tell.
