Hello, I had mirena inserted after the birth of my son four years ago. Ever since then i have been very unhappy with my choice. I have more down days than up days, i cry a lot, VERY! moody. My poor husband. He has suffered through this. I feel so bad. After reading all the comments, i feel that the doctors are liars. I bed for three months after insertion. I called the doctor, oh, your body is adjusting. This is normal. I have recently moved to another state and my new doctor seriously believe that the mirena is taking a toll on me. back pain, bleeding for weeks when my periods lasting three days before,breast soreness, headaches, weight gain despite vigourous exercise,depression,lack of interest in sex. (i'm 37). That's enough for me. I am considering having it removed as soon as possible.
