I found this site looking for any comments regarding life after Mirena. I can't say that I liked having it, but I didn't hate it. I have a friend who loves hers and said it has actually made her moods better. I had my Mirena for 2 years. I could at times feel it (not the stings, but I could actually feel the pressure caused by it), but the only side effect that really bothered me were the mood swings. I had horrible mood swings usually only at PMS time. I was like a crazy uncontrollable shrew. Some of the mood swings were so bad that I worried I might fly off the handle and hit somebody. I knew the mirena was causing my moods and thought about having it removed, but it was so much easier just to leave it in. I had it removed 3 days ago- to have another child, not because of the side effects. My over all mood is so much better. I don't know if it was psychological or what, but I was happier and felt better within 30 minutes. While I will not say that it was a bad form of BC for me- I will say that I won't be getting another one.
