i know what you mean. I too got the mirena inserted after my 2nd child. I have the mirena about 15 months. At first i loved it! i really wasnt having a period no major side effects at all. But about 4 months ago i started experiencing nausea, stomach pain and upset stomach EVERY morning! i cant even sleep late because the pain tears me out of my sleep. i too am suffering from mood swings and depression. but at first i didnt even think the mirena was causing this. i know alot of people that have experienced weight gain, but not the symptoms i was having. i went to my doctor 2 weeks ago she ran tests to see if i was pregnant, had any ulcers and my thyroids. she also put me all paxil for my anixety, depression and for weight gain. ALL my test came back negative and thats when i started to think its the mirena that is causing this. im making an appt to see my gyn so that we can discuss what im going through and removing this mirena. everyday i wake up feeling like crap and sick. but i just dont know what im going to us for a b/c???? sdp
I also had mirena. I got it after my second child. Had it for a few months and couldn't explain why i was nauseated all the time, and i had to go to the dr's constantly because i was getting severe tension headaches. The nausea continued to get worse and I had pain in my belly every single day. Finally after ultrasound, upper gi, colonoscopy, hida scan and several dr's later we concluded my gallbladder had completely quit functioning. It had a 0% ejection rate. Hard to believe since I am a very healthy person, watch what I eat and exercise almost daily. And I'm only 22, so not the typical canidate for gallbladder issues I was so sick everyday that I would just lay around most of the time and it sucked. I felt like a horrible mother and like I was going crazy. Needless to say I had my mirena out and all the moodiness and tension headaches went away. Oh and I was hornier than ever. Sorry to be so blunt but it is true. Then I had my gallbladder out and I was perfect again. Im not ready for any more children yet but I am so scared of all the side effect of any medicine now. So in short I blame mirena for my gallbladder failing on me. I suggest no one get this inserted into them.
