I had posted on June 16th about possibly getting Mirena because my OB/GYN said it was the best thing for me because of high blood pressure, but I have never had a child. Well I have tracked this forum for about a week now and I cannot believe how many posts this gets a day. Obviously it's a testament to how bad this IUD is. I called the doc and canceled my appointment. I am so happy I researched this product before I had it put in and it ruined my life. I hate when the doctors say, "well it affects every woman differently". That is not comforting at all. My heart goes out to the women who have to suffer daily just because they wanted to be responsible and have a method of birth control. If anyone needs a shoulder to cry on you can e-mail me anytime. ******
