My fiance is 27 years old and she has Mirena for about 5 months now. She had her son about 10 years ago so I don't think any of her symptoms are postpartum related. The thing I noticed most after she's had Mirena done is that she's always tired and taking naps whenever possible. She's also had tons of acne issues since she's been on Mirena. The thing that I don't like the most about the side effects is that she claims shes always "out of it" and "zoned out". She even complains that she has anxiety attacks too, where she gets pain in her chest. A friend of ours recommended her to use some estrogen control herbal pills and that's helped her acne and her mood a lot. But I mean, she shouldn't have to take any pills to "counteract" the side effects. I guess the thing I'm upset about is that THE DOCTOR NEVER WARNED HER ABOUT ANY OF THESE SIDE EFFECTS. I personally, don't trust doctors 100% and I'd be naive to think that all doctors are advising for just your benefit. There are doctors out there for sure that have financial / relationship gains with pharmaceuticals for prescribing certain brand drugs. I'd be very vary especially for the people who wrote here saying their doctor INSISTED they kept Mirena. Something not right there...

Hi, I just love men who get on here and care so much about their significant other. Thank you for being so in tune with her. I am glad you can see whats going on. You are a good man. Please tell her to get the thing out. Becuase it only gets worse, worse for her and for YOU
