I am 20 years old and had the mirena put in about a year ago. I experienced bad cramping, bleeding off and on, terrible weight gain, and depression. About 7 months after my mirena, I was put on Lexapro for depression. A couple of months ago, I was having severe cramping and I went back to my doctor, they did an ultrasound and found a cyst on my right ovary...I was supposed to go back three weeks later. The next week, I was cramping soooo bad that I called back to the doctor and they did another ultrasound...now there were two cysts on my right ovary. I had laproscopic surgery two weeks ago Friday. During this surgery they found a dermoid cyst on my left ovary they couldn't remove it, so I went for the second surgery last Friday...They had to remove my left ovary and the cyst was the size of a softball. My chances on having children are slim. My mom looked on the internet and found that a lawsuit had been filed in Portland, OR by ATTORNEY ******. They are supposed to be calling us back this week. If anyone is interested, please give her a call. The more we have call this attorney, then we may get a class action lawsuit started.

I had the Mirena put in Oct. 07 and removed Aug. 08 I have never experienced so much pain in my life between cramping, bleeding, weight gain,depression,anxiety,tiredness and irregular periods. I went to the doctor even after having it removed because of all of the side effects I was still having.Now six months later blood test after blood test I have now been told that I do not ovulate anymore and if I want to get pregnant again I will have to take clomid. I have a 21 month old and was looking forward to her having a sibling. I am 27 and there is no reason for all of this! The mirena has caused me to be infertile! I am upset with the doctor as well who said that this was the best choice! I don't know what to do and I can't believe that this is permanent and I can't get pregnant again without the aid of a fertility drug. They can't get away with this and I want to sue them! Please let me know what I need to do.......
