I have been experiencing very severe cramps, nausea, mood swings and exhaustion. I have had the Mirena only for 18 days now and I am frustrated because I am not really sure if I should wait and endure the side effects or if I should just get rid of it. I am going to see a doc today so hopefully they can give me some good advice about how to proceed. Is it worth it? When should I take the initiative to go and get an ultrasound? How much pain should i put up with?

i can only tell you about my experience, i suffered with mine for four months, i had the same symptoms as yourself, sever cramps, nausea, mood swings, was suicidal the lot, to me its not worth it, it cured my heavy bleeding, but the side effects were worse than the cure. You have to do what is right for you... only you can decide how much pain you can take and how long you want to give it a go...

i hope you got on ok at the doctors, unfortunately most doctors dont recognise that these are genuine side effects and deny that Mirena is causing them....
