Long story short. I got mirena 5 weeks after my twins were born. At first I had spotting for the first couple weeks, then it stopped. From there my libido was decreased significantly and I was becoming more and more tired. I attributed this to my anemia. At first after having the babies (Before my mirena) I was losing weight and beginning to be able to fit in some old clothes. In two months I gained ten pounds. I have been working out and eating healthily. Eventually acne started springing up on my face, I began to look like I was pregnant again (Weight just in my lower belly), I got so dizzy I'd have to pull over while driving, and my fiancee and I were constantly fighting as I kept lashing out at him for no reason (I am normally quite peaceful.). And then I got migraines daily and started hating my body...OH! And since day one I could feel exactly where the mirena was in my body. It hurt constantly. My period was two weeks late and I was constantly cramping.
I felt sick everyday.
But I got my mirena out two days ago. I told my doctor my symptoms and he looked at me like I was crazy. As soon as it was out my cramping was gone and I got my period. I have a little more energy already and have been able to control my mood swings. The verge to cry all the time? Gone. I was never told about all these possible side effects so there's no way it was in my head. Hopefully I start losing my baby pooch and things look up. My advice? Save yourself the trouble. I didn't even get into how I found out later that it can perforate your uterus and get lost in your body.
