Hi all I had my second mirena coil fitted 2 months ago. My first one that I had for 5 years I thought agreed with me - however now I am having second thoughts. My reasons for looking on this website were that I seem to have become very low, tired and have bouts of being very snappy and intolerant. A few of my friends have noticed the change in me. No idea where the placid happy go lucky J. has gone? My appetite has grown as have i a few pounds. I have also started become over anxious about things! If there were reasons for this I wouldn't be concerned but life is great at the moment! I don't have any of the other side effects I have read about on this site, however over the years I get bouts of sore tonsils and a horrible metallic taste, at same time feel very drained. Had every test under the sun plus allergy tests all to no avail - Has this occurred with anyone else? J.

Hi All - I cannot believe that I have fund this website - I am so happy I could cry. I had the copper coil fitted in October 2005 and apart from having heavy bleeding and loosing loads of weight I was fine - then around June 2007 I was struck down with major depression and anxiety - now I had no reason what so ever to become depressed. I love my job I have a loevly husband and 2 kids - anyway I changed my coil last year to the mirena as I was convinced that the depression was caused by the copper and my depression came back - I now have gained loads of weight, cry thoughts go to places that I have never experienced before etc etc the list goes on I was and am convinced that this was due to the coil but I was told that this would not effect me in anyway. But you have all put my mind to rest and I am going to make an appointment to have it removed.

Thank you so much.
