I had my mirena insertion 11/07...the insertion was a tearful event! I felt like such a wimp...but this site has helped me see the light! The weight gain has been so bad that I don't recognize myself and neither do others! I really want to have it removed but my periods are so bad that I am terrified, not to mention after the insertion I don't want anyone in there anymore! I am considering NovaSure which is ablation of the uterine lining. My doctor told me I was too young (35) but I need a resolution to my periods other than a hysterectomy. I love that I haven't had a period for 10 months now! That is great but I don't know that the side effects are worth it. Thanks to everyone for their postings!!!
