I have had alot of the similar side effects with the mirena as have the rest of you. I had it put in sometime in June 08. My doctor said it was my only birth control option because i had a blood clot last summer after i had my baby. So i went with her on it, i had it put in, well right away, i started bleeding, constantly, and still am, cramping, im so tired, ive horrible mood swings, acne,bloating, and back pain. Ive associated the mood swings with my bi-polar disorder, i thought i was having a relapse and started taking my meds for it again, which i am so glad i found this site, because now i know it was the mirena. I went in the middle of sept to have my mirena checked out and i told my doctor i wanted it removed i couldn't handle the mood swings or the constant bleeding. She told me that the mood swings had nothing to do with the mirena, and that she could give me some pills to stop the bleeding, that where i had got the mirena put in my body was out of sorts and needed some medicine to get back in to a rhythm. I said okay. Well i took the hormones for a week, that ended Wednesday night, and here it is Saturday and im bleeding badly again, and cramping so bad, i can hardly sit here and type, so i am defiantly calling Monday to get it removed. When i went in last time she couldn't even find the mirena, i had to have an ultrasound, its been traveling upward in my uteras, and theirs no strings on it that they can see, so i have no idea how they are going to remove it, and i pray it don't take surgery. This is the biggest mess i have ever gotten myself into. I so wish i had done some research on this, besides mirena's pretty little website, before i had gotten it pt in.
