I had my Mirena in for 20 months. I had it removed as i realized that it was causing many side effects including headaches, painful feet when i got up in the morning, bloated stomach and fat rolls! WEIGHT GAIN of 6kg or 13 pounds and i could not get it off (usually i can drop a kilo or two if i needed by eating smaller portions and no snacks), foggy brain, very tired and exhausted for no reason, lower back aches, tender breasts, no period whatsoever (not a bad thing), NO libido and possibly more - a doctor suggested he possibly suspected depression. After i had it removed, i bled for several days then nothing then a few days again. It has been 5 weeks since its removal and i have already lost 3kg or 6.5 pounds, and i have not felt tired unusually at all. All my other symptoms have pretty much disappeared overnight and i feel myself happy, exuberant self again. HIGHLY recommend removing your Mirena if you are feeling symptoms like mine. Condoms girls is all i can say, don't mess with your finely balanced hormone levels. Also i researched a natural product you might be interested in to regain natural hormone balance, Maca Root. Ask a naturopath at a health food store for more info. Stop searching for answers like i was doing, and do what you think is right for you and your body.
