I am so glad I am not crazy and all alone. I've had my Mirena si...

I also had it put in for perimenopause...I made it one month and then showed up at the doctor's clinic and demanded it be removed. I was gaining weight, losing all libido and the bleeding and cramping/low backache was intolerable. I just want you to know that I support you getting it taken out...I am reading some wonderful stuff about how to manage my changing body as I slowly move to complete menopause (I am 48) and will never again consider hormone replacement. Be prepared for the doctors to ignore your complaints as "in your head" and just insist on removal. Good luck...I am already starting to feel better - it has been five days since I got that thing taken out of me!!!
