I definitely have sympathy for everyone here! I have had Mirena since June of 2008 and made my appointment to have it removed today! I will not be able to have it removed until Feb. but I am counting down the days! This thing, this foreign body inside me is tricking my body into thinking it is pregnant, hence that is how the light or no monthly cycles! I have become severely depressed over the last month. Someone can look at me and I can start crying. This thing messes with our natural hormones! I feel like I have a lot of anger built up in side me and I keep thinking what is wrong with me?!? Not to mention I have put on about 15 pounds and I look like I am 6 month's pregnant -- which, I am not! I have never in my life had problems with a tummy! NOT even after having 4 kids, until now! I told my husband I was getting it taken out and the sooner the better. He said, it can't be good for your body -- we are messing with Mother Nature here! I researched and researched before I decided to have it inserted. I never found anything negative when I put "Mirena" in the search engine. I started finding negative things when I put in things such as: weight gain and mirena or depression and mirena. How was I to research weight gain or depression if that is not even listed as one of their side effects!?! The only thing positive that has occurred is I now have boobs!:) I cannot wait to get this thing taken out.
