Hello, i have read several of the response. I had my mirena placed in Aug 2008, when my son was a year old, he is now 18 months, I experienced cramping (but not too bad) and spotting for about 3 months. I have experienced 3 bladder infections (never had any before mirena) and increased acne. Nothing I do works to clear the acne. I have been on proactive for almost 4 years and now it's not working? I have tried another expensive merle norman cream and nutrigenia, but nothing works. THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE EFFECT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS MENTIONED - PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING THIS!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE - I have experienced an "odor" with discharge that I never had before. I have dousched and scrubbed but nothing works. It just goes and comes on it's own. You can even smell it sometimes during sex, my husband is extremely understand and worried about this too. If anyone else has had this problem please reply back and let me know what you did. Thanks and I'm sorry everyone is having all of these problems. I am considering having my mirena removed, it has seemed to be good birth control, but I do want to protect my body and my future children.

I have had the same side affects that you have mentioned. I am starting to get a complex with the odor and I am thinking of having my mirena removed too. I read a post about someone removing it themselves but dont know if I should do that. I hate to pay to have it removed. I am almost 40 and I dont think I am going to have anymore children so I am thinking of just having my tubes tied.
I feel better now knowing that other people have had the same symptoms.

Me too! Nothing I do helps. It's not constant, it comes and goes, but I hate it and the way it makes me feel!

I have had my Mirena since Sept 2005. I loved it at first, but over the past year, I have started to experience the same increase in acne and odor. I have gone to my doctor a couple of times, and he will just tell me it's a vaginitis. He will write a script for it, it goes away for a month or two, and then it's right back. It's very uncomfortable and quite embarrassing, even though my boyfriend is very understanding about it. Now, I am seriously thinking about removing this thing, but like you, I think it seems to be great birth control.
