I do not like taking pills so I figures the Mirena would be the way to go. During my first cycle with Mirena I bleed so bad I thought I was losing to much blood. I called my doctor and of course he said it was normal. The next month was the same then I started have the spotting for a 2 weeks at a time. Went back to the doctor once again he says it normal. During sex when done there would be signs of bleeding but no blood afterwards. My boyfriend was concerned so we both went to the doctor and low and behold he tells me there was trapped blood and that I should douche after each cycle. The second problem is I have been battling depression big time, low stomach pains, headaches and not to mention hair lose right in the top of my head. My doctor also told me to use Rogain and placed me on vitamin D pills.After reading these post I am scheduling to have my Mirena removed. I will take my chances with the pill. I lose focus and can't remember recent events. I thought I was losing my mind but it's just the Mirena. Oh yes before I forget huge blood clots during my cycle I thought my stuff was going to fall out.
