I had the MIRENA removed yesterday. I had it for 1 month and the first sign of change to my body was odor, I stink, bad, I did not have this problem before. So when I had my 1 month appointment for the follow up I decided to take it out. This was not so easy, the Doctor was really mean to me, told me the odor has NOTHING to do with the Mirena. Now that I'm reading all these posts I realize everything that went wrong with me had to do with this Mirena, trouble sleeping, acne, mood swings, weight gain...ack! I don't need birth control because I have my tubes tied, but I needed to control my super heavy periods, but let me tell you, I would rather have long periods over all these other side effects, oh, and my cramps got so much worse. What really bothers me is how the doctors want to push this product on you like it's the best thing ever, they are lying, big time!! I'm sure they get some kind of commission from Bayer. I'm really mad, and feel like I really can't trust my doctor.

Hi ,I had the same thing with the odour, but it eventually disappeared,to be replaced by weightgain and spots. I've persevered with it for 9 months now but I don't think having no periods is worth all the rest. IT'S COMING OUT!!

Try a uterine ablation for your heavy periods. I have a friend who did that and she's very happy with the results. It's an outpatient procedure with a fairly quick recovery (back to work in a couple of days and full recovery in a week or two). It may even be covered by insurance (which Mirena wasn't by mine - and now I'm wishing I hadn't had it put in).
