I just had my Mirena placed on 6/8 and have already started to feel the effects that others are describing. I got engaged on 6/5 and have noticed that I feel depressed and have seemed to lost all excitement about it. My fiance keeps asking me what is wrong, because I am not myself - now I think I know why! I am constantly tired now - nothing has changed to my routine except the Mirena and I didn't used to be this way before. I have had brown discharge and cramping since the day it was put in. The first day I felt like I was having labor pains - VERY SEVERE pain! It hasn't been as severe, but I have to take 2 Aleve every morning for my cramps. I have only had sex once since I had it put in because it is very painful afterwards and I cramp/bleed...not exactly something to look forward to! I have no sex drive, because I am worried about bleeding or having the brown discharge during as well as immediately after. I have noticed breakouts on my chest & back as well. Oh - and my hair is normally slightly oily, but it has been out of control oily starting last week. I have also gained a couple of pounds in the last two weeks and that is after I started my diet back up again last week. I don't feel like myself at all - I have extremely irritable - like I have constant PMS. I was hoping to just deal with it and work through it, but after reading these stories I really think I just want to make an appt to get it out before it gets worse! I don't want to keep feeling like I am in a fog & on the verge of depression!
