HI, I just read all of your comments regarding Mirena and I cannot believe how exact your side effects are how I feel. I am on antidepressants for my PMDD, which I had prior to insertion and I gain 10 lbs per period. I cannot lose the last 10 lbs of baby 10/29/06 even though I road bike 3 to 4 times a week for 45 minutes a day.
I thought I was just getting old!
I had terrible pain and bleeding for the first 6 months and then things were good, but I have terrible pain during sex and terrible side pain.
Thanks! I think I am getting mine removed!
