Horribly painful experience, but by the end of the first day I felt okay. My stomach bloated the first and second day but now it's back to normal and everything feels fine. I was on the pill for 12 years, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=20922 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:55:37 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21110 I can't tell you how glad I am that I had this thing removed- and that I was able to confirm via other women's experiences that what I had been experiencing was related to the Mirena. Removal was not a problem at all- barely noticed it!

Ihave four children and my husband and I wanted "worry free" birth control. For the first year it was great, besides the last 5lbs of baby weight that I needed to lose would not come off no matter what. Then a http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21121 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:52:05 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21132 I have had my mirena for about a month and a half now. Right away, I started to notice my skin was breaking out more than it had...not too bad, but worse. I had taken accutane as a teenager to control my bad acne back then and it had been great since...T http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21132 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:22:35 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21181 I had the Mirena put in in mid-December 2008, and had it removed June 29 2009. I am hypothyroid with a 1 year old and 3 year old so I thought that being horribly exhausted was just a given. But my thyroid meds are up so high, as much as they were when http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21181 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:18:44 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21368 Well Ladies, I took it out myself! I could not stand it one second longer! I had it placed in Nov. '06, so all in all, had it about 2.5yrs. It was fine at first, and the lack of periods was kinda nice...but intercourse was often painful and would cause http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21368 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:21:08 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21369 oops, sorry, it was May 30th that I took it out... not June. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21369 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:35:37 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21626 i totally agree... get it removed... i had side effects for a while, and i just thought that i was over reacting. i had ALOT of pain during intercourse, and no one should have to suffer during intercourse. i would even bleed after intercourse sometimes. it http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21626 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:27:34 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=21641 i am considering having mirena removed ASAP....

I'm in practically the same boat as everyone else it seems. I had Mirena inserted 6 weeks ago and have had ZERO sex drive ever since (hubby and I were up to 2-3x/week previously).

Mind you- it took about 30 minutes (which felt like 30 hours from the pain since my cervix was smaller since I have no children) ha http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22059 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:23:59 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22362 I'm asking for all the advice I can get right now! About five years ago I had a procedure done due to endometriosis (spelling). After the procedure my doctor told me she didn't think I could ever bare children due to the severity. I got pregnant in au http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22362 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:09:13 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22820 I have had my Mirena for just about 13 months. The first 2-3 months seemed fine. I have gained 30lbs in this time. I am now pre-diabetic & am having transient hypertension =( due to the weight gain. I had spotting for about the first 6 months. After that http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22820 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:32:18 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22821 HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THE MIRENA OUT? I HAD MINE INSERTED MARCH 9, 2009, AT FIRST IT WAS GREAT NO PERIODS HELL ANY WOMAN CAN GO WITH OUT THAT LOL, BUT THEN I STARTED GETTING NAUSEATED, DIZZY, DISCHARGE, SMELL, LOSS OF HAIR, WEIGHT GAIN, STARTED EATING MORE http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=22821 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:06:04 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=23108 I just had mine removed after almost two years. Between the weight gain/inability to lose weight, chronic constipation, bloating and occasional headaches, I decided to take it out and see if the symptoms improve. Removal was easy, but three days later I st http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=23108 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:37:46 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=23166 I have been having non-stop headache and high blood pressure, bloating, no interest in sex ( always avoiding it b’cos it takes me forever to get there), mood swing since I had my mirena inserted in may 09. I decided to get it removed today and my doctor http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=23166 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:56:09 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=24605 All I can say is WOW!!! I had my Mirena put in June 09. I am really surprised at all the women saying how painful the insertion was to them. I must have a really good doc, because she numbed me before she put it in so I did not feel a thing. The bigges http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27981?item=24605
