i had the mirena put in in late march 2009...i HATE the MIRENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had it removed 2weeks ago...i look like like im 20 months pregnant....my breast are swollen...im normally a b cup...now im a 38 c....i've gained about 20 lbs or more...and i HAD beautiful skin...i now have acne...and the pimples will not come to a head...i bled every day that i had it , sometimes heavy some times light and it would be at least for 3 weeks and then i would have either a yeast infection or a bacterial infection the 4th week and i was not sexually active...then the day after i had it removed i had to be rushed to the E/R i thought i was bleeding to death..i passed clots and tissue...i hate that i had this thing in my body....i had the paraguard i.u.d for 9 years with no problems...but you ladies are accurate in calling the mirena EVIL......it must have come from hell.......thank god for this site...im happy to know its not just in my head
