I had my Mirena inserted about 8 months ago. I talked to my doctor about having it inserted and he consigned the idea. I have irregular, heavy periods lasting about 7 days with bad cramping. I was given a many pamphlets and testimonials from women who all said it was the most wonderful thing. I even read that it was painful getting it put in, but the end results were worth it. So I decided to have the Mirena inserted. The insertion was very painful, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Fifteen minutes after it was over, I was doubled over in pain. I had to call my finance to come and pick me up. Since I have had it in I have been having about 2 -3 periods a month lasting about 5 days. They are certainly lighter than before, but they are extremely painful now. I feel tired all the time, I feel like I want to throw up a lot. I am very moody and worst of all my stomach cramps so bad, sometimes I just cry because the pain is so bad it sends shooting pain down my leg. However, if I take it out I do not know what form of birth control I should use. I rather find that out first and be sure so I won’t be in this situation again.

Yeah, here come the crazy side effects that they DONT tell you about shelondia!! I really feel for you! I have yet to get mine out, my appointment is scheduled though, I am so hoping they take it out that day! Yeah, hun, before you start getting even more side effects, and worse ones ta-boot, I would call your doctor, see what other forms there are that fit your needs and schedule to get that darn thing OUT! Believe me, I have gained so so much weight, I have acne, facial hair that I never used to, pains all the time in my legs, in my uterus, in my overall lower abs, pain during & after sex, crazy mood swings, always fighting with my, well, was soon to be hubby, he left me 2 weeks ago because of the mood swings, etc! So before the side effects get worse, please get it out! Have you done any research on the ring thing? Someone mentioned that one to me, thats why I ask. I havent yet done any research on it, so I cant say that one is a safe one either! Best of luck to you sweetie!
