Hi everyone...I have had Mirena out for almost 2 weeks now and I am back to my normal self already!!! I haven't lost any weight yet but I know that will come off in time. I, too, am on YAZ and love it so far. I have my phone set to calendar so I remember to take the pill every day or else I will definitely forget.
The best part about being back to my normal self is that I am enjoying my children again. I don't treat them like slaves, yell/scream at them for no reason, or want to be away from them. There has been a remarkable difference in them as well. They are not so whiney and they have more fun with each other. A benefit to that is that my 6 year old who asked me a few months ago if there were any extra chores she could around the house is cuddling with me on a daily basis. She wouldn't do that at all before. She is doing better in school too. My 3 year old is listening better too. I love my girls!!!
So, I am more than happy that I got my Mirena out and equaly grateful that my doctor (who happens to be a man and a new doctor) didn't try to convince me to keep it in.
New life and new me, here I come.
