Hi ! I posted on July 4th = serenity@42 ... I had mine inserted on June 18 during surgery as I posted, I was going to have it removed when I returned back to Canada. I called my doctor and he told me that to remove it, it take a second. He also told me that the side effects would diminish within 3 months, he also said "it is in your body, not mine", no problem to remove it. He told me to give it a week. This coming Tuesday will be a week to call him back. Now I went to a health food store to see if I can find something natural to assist in my side effects and I am taking Apply Cider Vinegar 600 tablets. They help reduce the bloating, along with my issue's from surgery *(lack of bowel / urine) = so this is helping me, you have to find the one that has "dandelions", which helps the urination of the excess water, I look 6 months pregnant at the time, now I look about 4 months, but this is helping me. As for the other side effects I had, the headaches have gone away, the moodiness is somewhat in control because I am aware of it and I make sure that I watch for it before I go off ! The swelling feet are still there, but I just had surgery 3 weeks ago, but still apart of the water retention ... I have not had sex with my finance yet because of surgery suggestions plus very minor spotting from surgery. The positive is that I have not had any period or bleeding from my period, but just spotting in the last day .. my doctor was surprised by that, and he said without bleeding, then this should outweigh the side effects, but totally up to me ... so I am going to give it a few more weeks to see if the weight comes off and the swelling in the feet go away, then I will decide what to do, I know it is a phone call away from removing it ... I want this to work so I am going to hang in there. Sleeping is getting better, I could not sleep plus having crazy dreams and waking up a few times a night, plus I forgot to add that I tend to be hot at night only, without sweating though, thank goodness. I have not had any hair loss during this whole time, and the acne has slowed down. I know that these are REAL symptoms because I know my body !!! I think that everyone had REAL feelings / symptoms as well and we must all honor what other women are going through and support each other not disregard others as EZRUST and NIAHSMOMMY have done ... This is a FORIEGN object in each of our bodies and some react differently but that is for everyone to decide if it is worth it or not pending their side effects. So to all that have had or are thinking of this for themselves, you read these postings and you have to make a decision for yourself on whether you either remove it and don't wait till it gets really bad or take the chance that you may only have minimal side effects. This is a great site to have support by most of us and to express your thoughts and feelings and know that you ARE NOT ALONE feeling these things ! Take care to all and I will update you as the days / week pass to see what come of this ... I will not let this Mirena Rule or Ruin my life that's for sure !!!!!!!!! Take Care ... Serenity@42 !!!
