I had my Mirena inserted in the beginning of july after having my second child. I made a horrible mistake. I had cramps so bad that I would actually be in so much pain from I turned pale and cry whenever they happened. I constantly bled from the day it was inserted until the day I had it removed which was Oct 29th. Almost 3 months. Some days would be worse than others. Right before I had it removed I had to go to the hospital because I was pouring out blood as if I was peeing. It made me have severe mood swings. One minute I'd be extremely happy then the next I was really hateful and wanted to punch someone. I would get light headed a lot from loosing that amount of blood right before it was removed. It made me tired all the time.I had a lot of migraines. It affected my sex life for the obvious reason I couldn't because I never stopped bleeding besides the fact I had no desire to. But since I've had it removed from I guess the lack of hormones I am having hot flashes and nausea and getting shivers wile changing from being hot in cold ever few minutes. Its subsided though since I started a new birth control last night. I'm only 20 and I didn't obviously know what a hot flash even was and it scared me i remember I went out to the hospital for a second time because of it lol. Now that I know what they feel like I really don't look froward to going through the change. I'm getting better and better each day since I haven't had it in. I just feel better and my bleeding has subsided. I would never recommend Mirena to anyone. Since I've had it removed I feel a lot better

I had my Mirena put in, in 2007 after having my second child. I instantly started gaining a tremendous amount of weight and had very bad mood swings. After 6 months of having the Mirena I was having back, chest, and very bad leg pains, for a second I started to believe I had Arthritis in my legs, so I went to blog the effects of Mirena and saw that several people posted all of the same symptoms I was experiencing. The next day I called my OBGYN and made a appointment to have Mirena removed. From the time I had Mirena inserted until the time I had it removed, which was October 31, 2008, I have gained 45 pounds and the weight would'nt come off no matter what I did while having the Mirena. Hopefully I will be able to lose all the access weight that Mirena has caused and will be able to let you guys know within 2 weeks. I would'nt suggest Mirena to anyone. Good Luck
