October I received my mirena in 2006, if I had known then what I know 1st now I would never have gotten it. My husband and I share 3 2008 beautiful children, 2 being twins, since the risk of having another 8.30am set of twins was high, and his refusal of a vasectomy, my doctor assured me this was the best thing for me. During the 2 years that my mirena was in I gained 20 kilos and continued to gain blowing me up to 130 kilos. I have always been chubby but no efforts to lose weight would work. I suffered depression and the same doctor started me on medication for that, still saying nothing about my mirena as the possible cause for my problems. I was suffering excessive sweating, and not the nice smelling kind, terrible tiredness and fatigue, aches and pains, pelvic pain and complete loss of periods. It was only when I went to my doctor a few months ago and demanded that the mirena be removed, that I have started to improve. No more sweats, I am still on my depression medication and am in the process of weening off it. I have started to lose some weight but unfortunately have now been blessed with liver disease. If it's not one thing it's another. I have been researching to see if mirena has contributed to my liver problem as I did not have it before the mirena was inserted ????????? My experience has not been a happy one, but losing trust in who I thought was a good doctor really sucks. Don't take what they say as truth!!!! Now I have to convince my husband to have a vasectomy and so far he is proving quite difficult!!!!!
