I am SO glad I ran across this site.I am not crazy! My Mirena was...
I had mine out yesterday after it was in 6 months. It hurt going in badly & was like removal of a tampon taken out,no problem. I had acne the first 2 months or so,never had it before in my life,big cyst like blemishes that cleared up on its own but was followed by the next months surprise,acid reflux which if you reasearch is affected by hormones.Called Merina & made report & they said they would call it nausea in the report,called the FDA & they said they would record it as acid reflux. Every month it was a new & never before experienced side effect for me.I was always in some phase of a period & or had vaginal discharge,very unpleasant. Despite having life long habits of a healthy diet & about 4 times a week I exercise plus I have an active lifestyle - I gained 15 lbs.The bloat made it look bigger,my abdomen pouched out like a pregnancy. After yesterdays removal my lower abdomen is tightening up and my mid-section is looking flatter,plus I can button pants I simply couldnt button anymore,I was having to buy a bigger size. The reaction to removal is fast & I didnt expect it to be. My assumption was gradual change,but I feel soooo much better today. The aches,pains & general crappy feeling is gone.When I read these types of post before insertion I just figured some women were complainers. My apologies ! - if the Merina isnt working for you quit second quessing yourself & dont let a doctor, who isnt in your skin, tell you what you KNOW you feel. My doctor was supportive,she had tried Merina & removed it a few months after beacuse she had ovarian cyst problems & acne.I was still willing to see if it would work for me knowing that,but it ticks me off to see some women have had doctors argue with them ,in particular ones without an uterus.
