Ladies, it is all true, Mirena is a nightmare, I had it for 3 months and I feel like it destroyed my life, I feel sad, angry, lethargic, no energy to excercise or have sex, I've gain weight, about 10 pounds and of course... I want to sleep all day, I scream to my kids all the time and I have no interest on interacting with my family. I feel disconnected to reality and I do not want to live like that. So I had it removed yesterday and I still feel really bad but I guess it takes time for those hormones to get out from my body..Never listen to doctors without researching. If I had seen this page, I wouldn't have done it. Thanks to other experiences I saw here, I made my decision to remove it, so thanks to all of you for your messages.

Hang in there. My first few days after it was out were hard, then on day 4 or 5 i felt 90%.. and now I feel better than I have felt in 3.5 years! I had mine removed Valentine's Day. Head up though: From what I've heard you can have some ups and downs during your cycle over the next few months. maybe it's your body's way of relearning how to handle things without the extra hormone. I'm just so happy that now I am 110% certain of what my problem was in the last 3+ years. At least when you have the downs, you know why and you know there's a huge light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck, and please keep us posted regularly on how you're feeling. Not many ladies hang around here to give updates after removal. And I tink, for me, that was the most encouraging thing for me through this tough time.
