I am 21 years old, and i had mirena put in about a year ago. the first three months were really awful for me, i had bleeding and cramping and i called my gyno and i told her about it, and she said its normal, it will go away just wait it out. she claimed she has one too. so i waited and she was right, it did go away. For about four months now i have had cramps that are getting worse. They have recently been so bad i was nearly throwing up, i can't sleep at night...ive had what feels like hot flashes. sex is incredibly painful too. I've felt bloated more and more each week, and ive felt more depressed than i have ever been in my life. (i've never suffered from depression at all) Ive started to have awful thoughts which have not been suicidal but thoughts like my child would be happier without me, i'm not a good mom... i'd catch myself thinking this stuff and just know this is NOT ME!!! i have never felt like this before!!! I've been so tired, absolutely burnt out. I can't find the energy to do anything. Just folding laundry has been hard for me... this isn't normal. this isn't who I am. My patience has worn thin, im constantly pissed off and yelling, aggravated. I'm not happy at all. i just went to the doctor yesterday and she said i have a bladder infection so just wait it out again. I haven't told her about these side effects because i wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the mirena... but After reading these stories I KNOW IM NOT CRAZY, it IS this stupid IUD!!! I have constantly told myself this is so unnatural it doesn't belong in me, my body hates it. But... I have a two year old, i do NOT want another one anytime soon and i felt like this was the perfect option!! its not worth it, its not perfect and i'd rather use the pill and condoms than deal with this. I;d actually give up sex til i were ready to risk another one than deal with this. I'm calling TODAY to have this removed ASAP. I'm so glad i came online and looked for Mirena horror stories... because this thing has made my past few months a horror story.
