I had Mirena put in last June '08. It is now June '09 and I had it removed yesterday. I had my child May '08 and was 10lbs away from my pre-birth weight when I had the Mirena put in. Now I am 10lbs heavier than I was in my ninth month of pregnancy! Its like I am pregnant all over again. My belly is always distended, feet and hands swollen. It is the worst 10 days surrounding when my period occurs- I can't fit in my clothes. Libido is zero and I have been foggy and unable to concentrate for the past year. The fatigue is considerable. I thought it was just being a new mom- since my Dr. told me this BC has no effects, but based on my previous experiences with the Pill- I think that anything with hormones is just a bad idea for me. After the mirena was removed yesterday, I have not stopping urinating! Belly has already gone down a little bit. I hope this does not screw me up too much!

I had mirena put in three years ago June 2006. And have not been myself since. The first year I thought was stress I was always exhausted, my body hurts my legs and arms just feel tired. two years ago I started zoloft because my doctor thought I was depresssed the fatigue was so bad. I did not get any better and was changed to prozac still no relief. When I had this IUD I was told no side effects other then no period.. This was true I have not had any bleeding. I have searched so many sites to find out what is wrong with me. Reading all these postings it is just how I feel, tired,soar depressed, zero sex drive, FAT I gained 30 that was chaulked up to me being depressed. Tomorrow I am calling for an appointment to have this removed. To be myself again. I hope so. If it changes me I will let you all know
