I am so glad I heard about this site. I have had the mirena for almost 4 years. I thought I was doing great until reading all of these symptoms from other people. I have noticed a lot of weight gain, anxiety, swollen ankles and hands, very low sex drive, pain after intercourse, heart palpitations and stomach problems. On March 23, 2009 I was scheduled for gallbladder surgery, which I have canceled. I believe all of my gallbladder symptoms are related to the mirena. I have experienced pain in the ribcage, cold sweats, fatigue and even the butterfly feeling in my stomach. No matter how hard I try to get the weight off, it will not budge. I thought this was just because I have reached my 30's. The mirena is coming out in April, thank goodness for this website.

ok ladies as for the gallbladder i would say no effects from the mirena I can't see if it caused it but I had galltones before the mirena and if you don't get it taken out ( if this is what your doctor says ) it will get worse. Mine was so bad that everytime I ate I was going to the hospital. I wasn't getting the rest of the steps taken fast enough before my surgery that it was emergency surgery on my b-day let me tell you not fun and ifeel way better. As for the mirena I got about a year after that i have had no problems till last week. I have had my mirena for 2 years now. Last week I experienced so spotting for a few days the it started again last night. I am just waiting to go see the doctor. I am seriously considering getting it removed now tho.
