Please. If you are in your 20's and do not have children, do not get the Mirena inserted. I know a woman who had 1 child and then had the Mirena put in. Once, she had it removed, she had multiple miscarriages and never was able to have children again. Especially if you have not yet had a child. Please do not get the Mirena inserted. It could ruin your ability to conceive. I had my Mirena for almost 5 years. I have 3 children and am in my 40's now. I had it removed 10 days ago. I previously posted about the side effects experienced. The worst were the Migraines and 25 lb weight gain. In the first few days I lost 5 lbs. I also had heavy bleeding and had to spend 3 days mostly laying down. Now, the bleeding stopped. I am not so bloated, and my head is clear. I was never overweight before. Not even after I delivered my first 2 children. Now I am hoping to lose the weight and keep it off. I find it amazing that the Mirena pamphlet in my Gyn's office said weight gain is not a side effect. I also have not had any Migraines since I had it removed. I have read about a few others who removed the Mirena themselves. I even tried to but was unsuccessful and had to have the Gyn do it. It's not a good idea to yank it out yourself because you might damage the uterine wall or hurt your cervical area. Please have the Gyn take it out if you can. I will post again and let you all know how the weight loss is coming.
