Well, first off, I haven't had all those symptoms and my sex drive is normal. I have six kids and I had the insertion on 1-09-09, & I feel totally normal.& I sympathize with all the women & families who had to go through these changes.However, I'm concerned that maybe that this wasn't the best option for me. My OBGYN ensured me that this would be a supportive method of birth-control. I need answers, I would like comments, & supportive advice. I'd like to reiterate that I feel fine, just confused on decision of MIRENA. This is my first time on this website and I didn't realize how serious the consequences were for this implant and how many people were affected. I am 34 y.o. and I don't want to have anymore children...right now.My daughter had told me that this was fatal and could have horrid side-effects.But, I do have headaches and joint pains(although I had the headaches and joint pains before, there just more intensified.) It' s been 1 month and 10 days since insertion,and my baby is 20 months(today)

Go back and read all the postings you can so you are aware of ALLLLLLLL the possible side effects. It has only been one month for you. Most of us dont start getting side effects for 2 to 3 months. So at least you will be aware and will know what is causing side effects if you get them. Just dont try to explain away the side effects or let a doctor tell you that the Mirena could not possibly cause it. All of our doctors said the same thing. You know your body better than anyone. If after 2 or 3 months you do not have any side effects, then the Mirena could be perfect for you! Good luck and best wishes,
L.
