This site is helpful knowing that its not just me. I got my IUD around march. My fiance & I got engaged a month before I had it put in. I just got into nursing school, so pregnancy is not an option!
During this time I was feeling
Depressed
Anxious
Difficulty concentrating
30lb Weight gain
Decrease desire of wanting to kiss
An appetite that doesn't seem to be satisfied.
Vaginal ithcing (feels like a yeast infection)
I blame the itching entirely on Mirena. I haven't had sex with my fiance (waiting after we exchange our vowes), so its not because he is being unfaithful. Its sooo uncomfortable.
As far as the weight gain, I have been feeling really guilty, loss of self-control, not to mention the guilt that follows. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one. In speaking with other ladies who have had an IUD. I can't blame Mirena entirely. I've heard pro's & cons.
SO far 7 months with this IUD. I think I'm going to take it out after reading all of these blogs & my own experiences. I thought I should give it more time but I'm getting married soon & I don't fit my wedding dress.
