I have had almost the same experience! I have an apt with my OB's ultrasound technician (to get an U/S and check it's placement) because of this period I keep having- every two weeks (and very long-before Mirena, I used to have very regular 5 day periods). I have since struggled with depression, acne, strangely oily skin. I also have lost weight and I also started antidepressants- side effect-weight loss). I wonder now- was the Mirena the reason I had to get on anti-depressants? I never felt I NEEDED them before. I hate that I put something in my body that I cannot control-Mirena and the release of these hormones. The few months in my life I was on BC pills I went off them because my PMS went from bad to worse. Seems like sense then I have been pregnant or breastfeeding- my third child is 10 months old. I feel like we are victims because we don't know if it is post-partum, Mirena, or all the stress from the life- Let's face it- almost everyone is having money problems, moving problems, you name it. They are checking to see if the Mirena is out of place- but I am pretty sure even if it is not-I'm ready for it to be out. I have never been able to feel the strings-didn't try until I was having the bleeding problems for last three months. Before then, I had only had a few periods since the initial month long heavy bleeding after it was placed in Nov or Dec 08. I appreciate that the OB was trying to make BC easy on us with this- but my body has always been sensitive to these hormones. I wish I had trusted myself when I second guessed it. My husband wants a Vasectomy now. I know we are done with having kids but it does make me a little sad with its permanence. But this is not the way I want to be- bleeding all the time!
