Thank the Lord that I found this site. I was up until 2 AM last night searching for answers. My doctors insist that there is nothing wrong with me. I was starting to think that I was crazy. I am 33 and had my Mirena put in in May 2008 after having my fourth child. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of doctors before deciding that this was the right birth control for me. Not once did I run across any of the side effects that I have in all of my previous research. Since then I have had headaches, nausea, bloating, gas, back pain, fatigue (severe now), moodiness, tingling in my arms, hands, legs and feet, weight gain, and now this strange sensation of fluttering in my belly. I have taken a dozen pregnancy tests over the last few months. I could swear that I am pregnant. Of course they have all come out negative. I want to get this out of me NOW. I wish that I could do it myself. The doctor that does the IUD's at my clinic only comes in a few days a month. I wonder how long I am going to have to wait until I can get it removed ? !!! To be honest I would rather have baby number 5 instead of dealing with all of these side effects any longer. Even my husband agrees. Thank you all so much for being honest and getting your stories out in the open. If I hadn't of found this site, I would have kept on trudging along with this dang IUD in and being miserable. I am all for a lawsuit against Mirena. Women need to be aware of these possible side effects. I am going to call the clinic first thing Monday morning to setup an appointment for removal. I will try to post as things move forward. Once again thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being so honest. I wish you all the best of the luck.
