i had the iud since sept 2006 and had it removed last week. i had felt it the entire time ive had it. id go thru hell with cramping and no bleeding. my weight would fluctuate from 135 to 150 in a matter of days, i haven't been able to get back down to my pregnancy weight of 117. i was so depressed that i tried to commit suicide. id cramp and bleed after sex, during i could feel it sometimes my husband could too. i had migraines that would last for days multiple times a week. my eyelashes, brows and hair has thinned out a lot. my skin is horrid with acne that would last for months with the same break out. i was bloated all the time. i was super moody, didn't have patients for anything or anyone. i am usually a pretty layed back person on mirena i was completely opposite, im surprised my husband hung in there! i was constantly constipated, frequent urges to pee, didn't want to out outside. when i was having it removed, my doctor couldn't find the strings, luckily she found them. my experience with mirena was horrible. i don't recommend it to anyone. after it was removed my stomach felt so much better. wasn't constipated, didn't feel a hard uterus, the pain that would shoot down to my feet stopped. my doctor did tell me i might have a mini period, which i am now. but im telling you i feel a lot better now that it is out of my body. if you knew me while i was using the IUD, you would think i am a different person now. i wish i had never gotten it in the first place...

Ladies- If you are considering having the Mirena as a form of birth control please re-consider. Further investigate- review sites, get feedback I so wish at this point and time that I did. I didn't discover how awful it was until after I removed it. I had it inserted in November 07, and just recently removed (September 08). I haven't had a period since March of 08. Since I've had it removed, I have been NON STOP bleeding! Not only is it heavy, but I am passing blood clots the size of golfballs. I have been to the hospital twice, and I am currently taking an antibiotic since there is some type of infection. I have had bad acne, weight gain and I didn't know my Mirena was the cause until now. My hormones were so out of whack - I was starting to believe I was bipolar! Further investigating, I discovered that you can form scar tissue and it can prevent you from having children. Having it in only complaint I had was every month when I didnt bleed I thought I was because I got all the symptoms. Tender brests, cramps, bloating. It isn't normal for a woman not to bleed ladies! We bleed for a reason. I so wish I never got it- even HAD it! All the complications I am currently going thru it was all not worth it.
