Wow. I am completely amazed at the posts that I read. For about 3 years now I have been extremely fatigued, having hot flashes, night sweats, nausea, bloated stomach ( i look like I did when I was 5 months preggo with my 3rd child!), cramping, discharge, pain. The doctor upped my antidepressant hoping that would give me more energy because I have had blood work done twice and all came back normal. I know that something is not right with my body, but it seems like the doctor plays it off as me being a mother of three, etc etc. when I was reading these posts I felt as if I could of wrote them myself. the doc says to wait until next week until my blood work comes back (again) to see where we should go from there. doesn't think any of the symptoms are related to mirena, but now I finally feel validated in that all of these "mysterious" symptoms that I have been experiencing for the past couple years aren't just "in my head:. Thank you to all who wrote in. I am going to have the conversation with my husband asap to talk about having it removed. I am very fertile though, and while we want another child, am not sure if we can do it financially right now. Anyone have any alternative BC methods that have worked for them? Oh yeah, already got pregnant while using Nuvaring...so that's out!!
