I,ve had mirena for 2 1/2 yrs and it has been the worst 2 1/2 yrs...

I'm sorry you suffered for 2 1/2 years. I only had the thing in for 15 days and it was pure hell. Cramping, bleeding, stomach pain, nausea, hot flashes, mood swings and depression. I had it out last Wednesday afternoon and have been bleeding pretty heavily ever since. I just called the Dr.'s office today and they told me I could bleed for a few weeks after having the Mirena removed. I am still suffering with the depression as well. I also cannot believe your doctor would not remove it. That is just ridiculous! You are the patient! The nurse also told me today that it takes a while for the hormone to get out of your system. All together I've been bleeding about 3 1/2 weeks. I'm so frustrated with this and wish I never had it put in! I didn't suffer with the migraines or neck pain. I would definitely go to the doctor to see what else could possibly be going on. Good luck to you!

I have had chronic neck pain too! thats one side effect i forgot to list. im tellin ya, ive been an absolute mess with this thing. its unreal. i have alsooo had migraines and i didnt ever figure it could be caused by the mirena. i didnt put two and two together with alot of these side effects.

I have had mirena since July 2007 and started having chronic headaches shortly there-after. Both my doctor and gyno told me that the hormone in mirena is not known to cause headaches, but after reading all of these post I now know that cannot be true. Within the last 6 months I have also developed chronic neck pain.
