I really need to vent. My long distance boyfriend of 2 years moved back to be with me. He returned in August and of course we couldn't keep are hands off each other, I was in my final mouth of the BC shot and became pregnant. In the 6 mouths prior I had taken an acne medicine that causes birth defects and he and I decided that an abortion was the right idea. Extremely depressed about all of this, I chose Mirena as the best form of birth control at this point in my life...After explaining to the doctor that inserted the mirena about the abortion decision, she became extremely rude and was a bit rough with me. The Mirena just plain SUCKS I thought maybe she retaliated against me and did it wrong..I am tired all the time, I feel bloated and completely unattractive, and to top it all off i have been spotting heavily for 2.5 weeks...I hate this!
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, I guess theres a lot of us on the same boat. Some say after the first 3 months it gets better but others say theyve had it for years and just now realized it was the root of a lot of their problems. Do what you think is right for you. The only option for me is to have it removed. I got it because I had long heavy periods and didnt want to have to worry about a daily, weekly, monthy, pill, patch, ring, shot but In my mind, I dont think there is a good enough reason to keep it in.
