I've had the MIRENA in for 6 weeks today. Immediately after I stood up from the table at the doctor's office once it was inserted ((very PAINFUL insertion)), i almost fainted. I felt very weak and began throwing up. After leaving the clinic, I had to pull over on the side the road quite a few times before I made it home because I was so light headed and weak I thought I was going to wreck. I began thinking right then and there that maybe this wasn't for me. Maybe my body was already telling me that it didn't want this thing in there. How could this birth control be doing this to me I thought?? Then the cramps started. They felt like contractions at certain points...very painful and there was no relief. I tried motrin, Tylenol, & vicodin...they lasted for 2 days then I seemed to be fine for a little while. The headaches came in the first week of getting it, but I didn't put it together. I thought I was just stressed out. About 3 weeks ago, my boobs began to be really sore and a lot bigger then they were before, I'm extremely tired all the time yet can't seem to fall asleep at night when I'm actually trying, I seem to be very forgetful of small things, extremely up & down moody, no patience at all with anyone..especially with my daughter, careless, loss interest in almost everything, very depressed, crying all the time, bloated, blurred vision, also my left arm goes numb quite a bit...AND THESE HEADACHES are so horrible. I'm practically living on BC powder because it seems to be the only medicine to get rid of it for awhile at least. The thing I liked about this birth control is there was supposedly no weight gain...well I've gain 10 lbs in 6 weeks and I've been the same weight since after I had my daughter who is 4 now. I thank GOD that I know it's the MIRENA doing all these things to me so I can just get it out and be normal again. I did not have one of these symptoms before this thing was inserted, and I'm very proud to say that it will be removed tomorrow. I feel so bad for all of you that had this thing in for a year, or two, or even three and didn't know what was causing all your symptoms and emotional distress. I also thank GOD for all of you and for finding this website because the person I've become in the last 6 weeks definitely isn't me, and is not someone I would like to continue being since it only seems to be getting worse instead of better. Not only am I suffering from this emotionally & physically, but also everyone around me because I've become the biggest CRAB and don't care about anything anymore. I urge women to think this through before they get this MIRENA implanted. It's not for everyone, and as many women have fantastic results with it, there are probably that many that are battling all the same symptoms I am & are miserable. Had I known some of these things were even a possibility with this birth control, I would've never put this in my body. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Everyone is different, but you know yourself. Don't let the doctor try to sugar coat things for you. Do the research before you decide to go with MIRENA. I would rather accidentally get pregnant than have to go through all this :( GOOD LUCK everyone
