I almost want to cry right now.
I had my mirena put in after my first child at my 6 week visit.
I don't even recognize myself anymore, I'm so moody and snappy I have to take an antidepressant every day so I don't go loco. I really just thought I had PPD. I have been WORKING MY TAIL off in the gym and hard core dieting and I CAN NOT loose weight. Which of course has killed self esteem and my sex drive. Sex HURTS so much anyway I was just trying to get through it every time.
I can't believe this little terrorist in my body has cause all of this.
I thought the mirena was so awesome because i didn't get ANY periods after the first 3-4 months. And i couldn't get pregnant again by accident.
But all of these HORRIBLE side effects are totally not worth it.
I feel like i had a light bulb moment when i stumbled upon this site. Thank God for you ladies sharing your experiences. I'm so sorry to those who have been so severely effected by this thing. I made my appointment for Monday to have it removed. I want it OUT OUT OUT!!
