I have had the mirena since November 2007. People around me started noticing differences in my level of energy not long after. I am constantly fatigued and have had to stop dancing (I normally danced flamenco a few times a week). Last summer I had serious periods for 5 weeks straight! Now for the last 3 months I have had very painful breasts, just walking kills me! I feel like I am in my PMS ALL the time. Since the mirena I have gained weight in the tummy area (and my breasts are fuller too) and my muscles fatigue faster. Last November (2008) after 12 months with the mirena I wanted it out but my gyneco did not see the relation between my symptoms and the mirena and told me to hold on a little more. Something is definitively happening to me hormone wise. I even had 2 hot flashes last week!! I am seeing the doc on June 3 and will demand to have this thing taken out! Oh! and my sex drive? GONE, completely gone :(

I dont get it why do Dr. decide if you should stay on it or if you should take it out. Honestly most of the doctors don't even know anything about diff. birth control methods. If I want it out now, then do it, do not tell me that it is unrelated to my symptoms, b/c I am in charge of my body, they are not the ones that suffer all this painful symptoms.
