I'm having my Mirena removed today at 3:45pm!!! When I had mine inserted 3 months ago I was excited about the prospect of not having to worry about birth control for a good few years. Sounded too good to be true and in my case it was too good to be true. Immediately after insertion I had serious cramping but it wasn't THAT bad. It was livable, my fiance helped out with our now 11 month old fine. I had "spotting" which I wouldn't even call spotting I had my period for about 2 months straight. NO sex, no nothing. Within a week I started breaking out on my face, I've NEVER had acne before but my face was covered in little spots. Then I noticed within the 1st month I gained 10lbs. I was exercising the same & eating the same just putting on weight. Went back and my doctor told me it was nothing, maybe I was gaining muscle... UM NO. She told me to wait it out for another month and if it doesn't get any better she'd take it out. I waited another month and another 5 lbs and I made my appointment which was 3 weeks from when I called. So finally here I am today... ON my 2nd period of this month, almost debilitating cramps, a whopping 15lbs heavier than I was 3 months ago, acne all over my face, NO sex, moody evil woman. AT this point I'd rather have another baby than go through the hell that I've gone through the past 3 months. All I'm hoping is that I loose the weight, acne and bad attitude I've been sporting VERY quickly! I'll check back in, in a few weeks to let you all know how I'm feeling. Try out the mirena but listen to your body ladies! If you feel uneasy about getting the mirena then don't get it.

moody, evil woman . . . that's me too!

And I don't like it. I'm seeing my doctor next week and I'm 99.9% sure this thing is coming out!! Please do post an update - I'm selfishly curious how long it will take me to get back to the real me!
