So glad I found this site!! i just went to the Mirena website to check side effects. i had this inserted a few weeks after i had my first daughter in December of 07. The last two months or so of my pregnancy i noticed my sex drive was slowing down, but it mostly was just the thought of the discomfort(I put on 50 pounds lol) So for months now, I have had the same decreased sex drive-it brings me to tears! I was never like this in my life, and I finally thought that maybe something was up with this Mirena. Once I read the posts, ans saw some of others side effects, i think thats whats going on. I have had Horrible leg cramps in my lower legs, severe shooting pain when I stand up, and I could not figure that out either. I even just last week, went out and bought expensive new sneakers and have been trying to where them thinking maybe all my other shoes were messing something up. Now I doubt it! Luckily my periods have not been bad, except the fact that they are beyond irregular(just light) and my cramps are about the same, but I do get some sharp cramps like i never felt in my abdomen. AND!!! I have lost all but about ten ponds of baby weight, but I have been on Phentermetrizine (same as Phentermine diet pill) from the doc, and have only been able to lose about 3 pounds in a month, so I am thinking this thing is def. holding some weight on me. Hope I can get it out, I don't have any insurance anymore!!!
i feel you on this! My husband has been complaining every since I got the mirena. I had it inserted june 08. He swears he feels it at the tip of his penis, at first I THOUGHT he was just being silly or a hypocondraic but then when he showed me that it was all red and irritated where it rubs against it, I had no choice but to believe him. He always says "no wonder why girls can't get pregnant with that, because their partners don't want to have sex with them cuz it hurts too much." Now im self concious when we have sex. Plus recently I get terriable sharp pains during intercourse. ugggghhhh and now im on the same boat as everyone else, I have terrible headaches,sad all the time, get irritated with my 9 month old son way to much cuz my patience has wore thin plus im catchin myself wearin my glasses a lot more and theres nothing I can do about it because I NO LONGER have insurance. My husband keeps saying that he will go in and get it hisself by pulling on the strings which im scared for him to do because Im afraid he will tear tissue or jab something~! What do I DO?????
