Hello ladies, I've had Mirena for seven months now. I too was told side effect were minimal and that my hormones would be altered from minimally to nothing at all. First couple months cramps were horrible during my period (not so bad now). During ovulation my ovaries hurt like never before and from ovulation to 1st day of my period I have a foul smelling discharge. As someone who has been treated for depression in the past, I thought the depression and the weight gain was all "me" again. Not to mention the ACNE! I do admit to getting the occasional zit in the past, since Mirena my acne has worsened. Now, I also get acne in my neck and along my hair line. It's comforting to hear that it hasn't all been in my head and discomforting the Mirena continues to advertise their product without giving recognition to all the true side-effects that all us women are experiencing. First thing Monday morning, I am making an appointment to have removed!
