Ok I got the Mirena about 2 years ago, and its been hell from the moment I got the thing put in. Ive never been that much of a bitch but once I had the Mirena put in, i started constantly bitching. I ended up thinking I fell out of love with my daughters father, left him, and screwed things up all because of my hormone levels right after I got the mirena put in. Finally about a year after I had the mirena put in, my hormone levels finally started to go back to normal. But i still had about 10 pounds that I could not loose. Now its been two years and I have still not been able to get the weight off, and I also have a LOT of pain during sex. About three weeks ago I got my period (which is usually light and no more than 3 days long) and it lasted for NINE DAYS. Then I had sex about two weeks later, then the next day I got my period AGAIN for another FIVE days!After that period was finally over I felt so light headed and sick i almost passed out,I called my doctor.. She said that it sounded like the mirena was making me anemic. So im getting this damn thing taken out next week and I am SO excited not to have the bad cramps, no more mood swings, and to be able to loose the rest of this weight. THANK GOD. o btw if anybody's insurance doesn't cover taking the mirena out, go to planned parenthood. It only costs 85 dollars!
