hi all. i had the mirena put in January this year. i also noticed a lot of the side effects that a lot have mentioned, my biggest issue was the hair loss. i went back to the GP who said it had nothing to do with the coil and put it down to stress. it was strange that it happened just a few days after having it inserted! so i had it removed in march. however i have noticed that my hair is still lifeless and falling out. im 26 and shouldn't be losing my hair. please can anybody help in telling me if they had the same experience and how long did it take to stop. im very worried about it. all of you ladies out there think twice before you have this device inserted its more hassle and heartache than whats it worth. if any body can help me please please do.

Hi, I'm just in the process of reading up on mirena before going ahead with it. Now that I've done some research on it ...no way! I just thought I would tell you about my hair falling out due to anemia.I'm 35 and I've always had great hair. I have treated this with Iron supplements but my hair is still sparse. It also causes fatigue, heart palpitations, mouth sores etc. Maybe you should have your doctor test you for anemia.
