I had Mirena in for a month ( 2 days shy, actually ) and it was a living hell. I had it removed this past Friday, much to the disappointment of my doctor. "Give it more time" she said. I said "give it more time for WHAT?!". In the 4 weeks I had it in I gained 8 pounds, bled every single day with the exception of 3, and I mean heavy bleeding. Equivalent to after the birth of my children. It was horrible. I had headaches and extreme moodiness. My sex drive went to absolutely nothing. I'm so anxious for my body to get back to normal and I hope and pray it does soon. Very soon. I can't drop any of the weight and feel hungry constantly. I'm watching what I eat and I exercise and so far no results. I don't know how long it'll take to get this nasty thing out of my system. I can't wait to have a sex drive again. I've been so moody even I can't stand myself. This just really sucks. As far as the removal, it wasn't painful; just a slight pinching. Having it put in however, was another story. Nightmare city. I'm just glad it's gone and hope I return to normal soon. Also, after having it removed, I bled like CRAZY for 3 days. Small price to pay to have it out though. So anyone thinking of getting it .... DON'T! Anyone who has it and hasn't had any problems ... count yourself very lucky. This thing should be banned. My insurance isn't covering any of it so I'm out $1200.00. Yes, that's $1200.00. Just the icing on the cake, I guess.
