I have had my Mirena since 11/2008. I had it put in 2 months after my 2nd child was born. The insertion was easy and painless. I got a little crampy the first week and then after that all hell broke loose. I had a continuous non stop period from November 08 to June 09. I called my doctor several times and they put me on a hormone patch to try to stop the bleeding. It didn't work. I was told that the bleeding should stop by 6 months so I figured I would put up with it until then. 6 months approached and still bleeding, 7 months still bleeding, 8 months still bleeding. Finally at 9 months the bleeding stopped and I was thrilled. My excitement didn't last long. After one week of having no period and being excited I started developing what I thought was morning sickness. My breasts hurt, morning sickness (day and night), bloating, exhaustion, and so on. I thought for sure that I was pregnant. I made an appointment to see the doctor who informed me that my Mirena was still in place. She also did a urine pregnancy test and blood test, which both came back negative. She had no answers for why I was experiencing the symptoms. Now 3 weeks later, I still am having the side effects. My gut is telling me that it is a new side effect from the IUD. I believe that my body is now confused with the loss of a period and it is acting like I am pregnant. I have taken 6 pregnancy tests at home over the last several weeks, terrified that I am pregnant because of how I am feeling. I have had enough and called the doctor today to have it removed tomorrow. I am not going through the symptoms of pregnancy as my pregnancies were rough. I had morning sickness with both my children morning, noon and night the entire time and it was awful. I am definitely not going to put up with the feeling of being pregnant and all the nasty morning sickness feelings without the reward of an actual baby at the end. I would not recommend Mirena to anyone!
