I an 34 and have one child, 7 years old. These are the changes I have experienced since I started the Mirena in December 2008. Each is something that wasn't the case before. Until now, May 2009, I have gained 15 pounds. My stomach is bloated, my hair oily, no sex drive, and depressed and tired all the time. I get a lot of infections, and a yellow-brown discharge all the time. Spend a fortune in pads/pantiliners. I get joint pains on my legs and hips, and my nails have become brittle. I itch a lot like something bit me. My period is lighter.

It hurts when I walk, like I'm an old person. I'm getting too fat now to feel my hip and pelvic bones. I do tend to favor darkened rooms, so I guess I'm light sensitive, too. Yes on the headaches. I'm a walking side-effect listing :)

Hi there: i have exactly the same side effects as you do and i am in the process of losing my marriage because of this. my husband thinks i dont love him or desire him because of my loss of sexual appetite, mood swings and tiredeness for the past year. I am so sad and depressed because he thinks this and i cant believe he even mention that "you want me to look somewhere else for it?" im sooo sad and have told him that i know its the IUD but he doesnt understand because he doesnt have this inside him changing hormones and making my body so different. I will of course have it removed and i ask all of you to pray for me since i dont know i can.
