I was fitted with the Mirena in January 2009 as I have PCOS and I had bled constantly throughout 2008. They thought that the Mirena would be the best course of action as BCP just never agree with me.
I was ok until around March, when the coil REALLY kicked in. I had mood swings, lethargy, a real 'whatever' attitude and worst of all - my extremely healthy sex drive just got up and left. It has affected my relationship with my fiance as we only got together in December 2008 so the Mirena has dogged our entire relationship.
I finally got it removed in August, and for the first two weeks things were great, then they just went back to how they were March-August. I am going to my GP tomorrow as I want advice - the medical profession put me here, they can help me out. I want my notes to be updated with how the Mirena has affected me.
I even had to sit in A&E for hours as it had moved and caused me to bleed heavily!
If you haven't had it fitted - don't!
