Ok... thank goodness I read this. I'm sitting here thinking I'm dying... maybe I have colon cancer... I'm on 32. I've scheduled a physical to check everything out... but have been wondering if maybe Mirena would be the simple answer to what's going on with me.
I've had hair loss, but that is pretty normal for me, because I just had a baby, she is 6 months old, and I've lost hair after every one of my pregnancies (she's my 3rd). It has started to grow back, so I don't think that is from Mirena. But, I have had a very decreased interest in sex. I thought it might be because I'm still nursing my daughter, but it has never been this bad before. I'm wondering how long before my husband gets sick of me. I've also been depressed. The most disturbing though is that my bowel movements have changed dramatically. There are times when I feel like I won't make it to the bathroom, to have gas, and a small about come out. Some times there is a lot of mucus on my bowel movements, sometimes a little blood too. I kept thinking these changes correspond with the implanting of Mirena. I will be asking lots of questions about it next week at my physical, and will now call my OB too. 3 children may be enough.. the husband may need to get the snip snip.
