I had my Mirena put in about 2 months ago. I was very nervous about it hurting, but it didn't hurt at all!!! I've had 2 kids though and the doctor said it's worse for those who haven't had children yet. I was on Lybrel up tp the day I got the Mirena inserted. I think because I didn't get a period while on Lybrel that it helped a lot with this. I spotted a few times for about a week and haven't seen anything since. I also had cramps for about a day and 1/2 after insertion. I have noticed that my face has broken out A LOT!!! I asked the doc about it and she said that if I wasn't on any birth control at all..my face would be as bad as it is on this. ??? I also always feel bloated. It's horrible...I've never felt this fat before. And the funny thing is I haven't actually gained any weight. I also notice a lot of mood changes and once again she(doctor) blamed my hormones and said Mirena shouldn't affect it at all. So basically the Lybrel was doing a better job with helping these issues... So, I told my doctor I would give this a couple more months, but if I gain more than 10 pounds, it's outta there!!! I also have always had an issue with migraines and that's the main reason the doctor had me switch to Mirena. My migraines have kinda been worse. It's weird, they are less severe but are present almost everyday. Before I would get 1 really bad one once a week and only prescription meds would help. Now I get one not so bad one that I take Treximet for and the rest I can take Tylenol and they go away. weird. the doctor said that if Mirena didn't help my migraines that no birth control would.
