I got the Mirena inserted in Aug of 2008. what a horrible experience,it hurt so bad i almost passed out from the pain . at first I thought it was a great thing to have and who wouldn't when they tell you, you might not have a period. I'm 33yrs old and was on Depro-Provera before and loved it.
Since I've had this put in I have lost my sex-drive, gained 25lb, have horrible cramps, spot here and there never knowing when I might start bleeding. Then to add to it in the past month I have been having dizzy spells.
I have set it up to have this thing removed on May 12th. The biggest kicker of it all is that after talking with my uncle who is a gyno out of state, he told me the Mirena never should have been put in since I have never had children and have had a LEEP before. Needless to say I'm counting down the days until i get this stupid thing out.
