I've had the Mirena twice now..Once after my first child and now after my second. I had problems the first time but my family and docs just kept saying it was all in my head-they still say the same things. So I decided to give it another shot. Once again I hate it!! I just had it placed this second time in Jan.-mainly for my husband. I have yet to stop bleeding, I have awful cramps all the time, acne, sore breasts, bloated stomach..etc..I'm trying really hard to lose my remaining baby weight and the last thing I need is something adding more weight! When I tell people what I've read on this site they say everyone is crazy that Mirena couldn't cause such things..If that were true than why do all of us have the same problems? We can't all be crazy! I want mine out but my doctor always gives me a hard time and I pretty much beg him to take it out. I don't understand why this thing is still on the market! After all these awful things being posted I'd think somebody would do something about it. I suffer with bad anxiety and I think the Mirena is making it worse...Anybody else have this problem?? Thanks for all the posts! Maybe together we can get the word out and stop others from going through what we have!

Most of the women if not ALL are suffering anxiety with the Mirena. Also it sounds like you need to be MUCH more assertive. Either take it out yourself (2 seconds) just grab the strings and gently pull. It pops right out and doesnt hurt. Or go to the doctor and be very firm about what YOU want for YOUR body!

i addition to my other side effects, anxiety is also one...so you are not alone. my doctor thinks i am crazy for wanting it removed...i suggested she find a non-hormal iud or something for me.
