Hi there, I am glad I found this website too. I had the mirena fitted in 2005 and since then have been on anti-depressants twice! I have a 3 year old and 5 year old and put most of my symptoms down to being a mother of 2 small children. I am constantly irritable, short tempered, ratty, anxious, can't relax at all, stressed out, etc. I also have constant muscle pains in my hips and top half of both my legs, with bloated feelings in my stomach. I am shattered constantly and struggling to feel enthusiastic about things lately. My symptoms have definitely got worse over the last 12 months. I also feel "tremmorings" of my heart, where it feels like its beating too fast, or almost stopping. I have constant vaginal discharge and often slight spotting after sex. My smear test has just come back all clear, although I had convinced myself it wouldn't be because of these symptoms. I am sure now after reading all these posts that all these symptoms are linked to the coil. I feel so cross now, that the last 3 years have been so bad, possibly as a result of this thing in me! I am too scared to have it removed though as I bled so much having it put in. I would lve to hear from people who have had theirs out, how much did it hurt and how much did you bleed? Many thanks.
