I feel so grateful to have come across this website, I had mine inserted almost exactly 2 years ago and I take responsibility for the fact that I did not do adequate research at the time but relied on by gynae...I have never really experienced side effects from any medication I have been on so I though this would be the case with the mirena as well...well not so... I too have battled incredibly to lose my weight since the birth of my son in Jan 2007, despite the fact that I have NEVER been this healthy in all my life, have been running now for the last 6 months and just recently completed a half marathon - so its not like I'm just being a lazy bones, have also given up my chocolate fetish since his birth. The worst has been my skin problems. Not only to I have acne ALL the time, there is never a day that I do not have a pimple, they are deep-seated pimples which are swollen and hurt like small boils. Also experience bloated tummy and thought it was too much carbs, have gone a more natural diet route where I avoid combining carbs and proteins and still my tummy is bloated... Itchy feet drives me crazy, no amount of scratching relieves it! Low sex drive...definitely Also aggressiveness which is not like me at ALL to the point where in the last couple of months I have really considered going to seek medical advice. It now all makes so much more sense and I will be making that appointment to have it EXTRACTED ASAP!!!!!

You were, so brave to have that THING in you for that long. I am having it out in 3 days, have only had it for a month and already noticing BIG changes. I am 43 and have had history of heavy periods so was wanting the "no blood" thing. Haven't stopped, bleeding, cramping, started having headaches, weight gain (am an active person), gain 3kg in a month!!! and , YUK discharge, itchy feet, and body odour!!!! Thank God I found this site I thought I was going mad, OH and the boils!!!!! I would rather have the next few years before menopause feeling normal with heavy periods than have to put up with that thing!!! I think a man invented it coz I woulds love to see a male try and have one insesrted and live to talk about it............. ha ha

Hallo

I'm from South Africa, and have had Mirena for 6 years. I have had my 2nd one fitted last year. However, I am totally fed up with my skin problems. I am considering to have it taken out, but want to know if your skin problems have subsided since you had it taken out? And if it did, how long did it take? I have no other side effects.
