Oh boy. So it started with this sentence in my obgyn's office "is there anything to help the EXTREME cramps i get every month?" to which he replied "oh yes there is the mirena" and it went on to ask him what it does. oh it sounded so wonderful! but....FAIL! my daughter is nine months old now so i guess i have had it for 8 months now. got it in right after my check up. I have lets see....i wrote these all down. Sex Drive..GONE. increased weight gain which is that i weigh more now then when i was pregnant and have changed everything and i keep GAINING more weight..cramps regularly there not bad but they are everyday. no energy i cant even do the dishes without getting tired. heartburn everyday, if my stomachs empty i have heartburn so it doesn't help me trying to lose weight! I have become more moody and when i say more i mean i have clinical bipolar disorder and it is HORRIBLE with my anger and depression and my always crying. I get pain in my joints and mostly my right leg goes numb (idk if thats mirena but it didn't happen till AFTER mirena happened). I have always had AMAZING skin...now i get acne all the time its unbelievable. i get dizzy and sometimes i cant even hold my daughter! and the migraines are the worst of all...no the worst is the no sex drive! All this and i was never told the cons in my doctors office! Isn't that against some code? Here is the topper on the cake. two weeks after i had mirena inserted my obgyn was asked to leave the practice and they refused to tell me why. Shady thats what that is.
