I am so glad to read this website. I have had the Mirena for almost a year now. At first, I really didn't have any major side effects except for a month of bleeding but this was two months after my second child was born so I didn't realize it could be the Mirena. However over the last 6 months I have been so irritable, crying a lot for no reason, difficulty sleeping, terrible weight gain which does not seem to go down with proper diet and exercise. Scariest of all I had nausea, severe headaches and chest pain. My doctor thought I was having an embolism but all tests turned out to be "normal" even though I was not feeling normal. After reading this website, I realize that the Mirena seems to be the only thing that has changed in the past year. I love my kids, I am lucky to stay at home and I have little stress. I too though keep getting the feeling that I am pregnant, even though I am not. I am now going to make an appt to get the Mirena removed and hope for the best. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences!
