Everyone's story sounds like mine in a way. I really thought I was going crazy. I had the Mirena but in 2 months after I had my son (April 2008). At that point I had lost 20 pounds of the weight I had gained from pregnancy. As soon as I got it in I started gaining weight slowly and 30 pounds later here I am. I worked out like crazy and cut my eating and still nothing and the crazy thing is that people kept telling me to cut my portions (if I cut it any more I would have stopped eating all together). I talked to my doctor at my 6 month check up and at my 12 month check up and she assured me that it was nothing and that the Mirena could not cost that and off course I should eat less.
I have had every symptom in the book and have just thought I was crazy. Hair loss, depression (it was so bad I had to see a therapist and didn’t trust myself around my kids), longer periods (went from 4-5 days to 10-14 days), discharge between periods, cramps, back pain, and today I started passing clots so big your would have thought I was having a baby and oh yea, acne like I am 14 again.
All I can say is I am done and cant wait till this mess is out of me. I rather be pregnant than deal with this.
