I was going to have mirena placed today with the intention of stopping my period and in turn hope to shrink the existing fibroid I have in my uterus. I had removed them once four years ago and now they returned and have been giving me some bad days in between periods. This is one of the possible method I can try that is recommended by my gynae so I won't have to go through another surgery again. However, after reading all your reports and experiences, I surfed the internet for more information and found this site. ****** Please read it. I find it extremely useful. Now I know (saved myself some money and possible hell) that I am not a candidate for mirena. For those who are thinking of opting this method of contraceptive, read carefully before deciding and for those who already have it, now you know why you are experiencing what you are experiencing. I hope this will help some of you if not give you peace of mind that we are NOT crazy when we tell the doctors and our partners that we are not ourselves sometimes. God bless.
