http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565 Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I'm a 34 year old woman. I gave birth to my daughter in October 2005 and in December 2005 I had the Mirena coil inserted. It's due to finish up this December as it's approaching the 5 year mark..

You said you had the mirena inserted in December 2005 and that you're nearing the 5 year mark, which would be December 2010. We're still 2 years away, so technically, you're only just over half way th http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12418 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:22:04 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12428 I had mine for nearly 5 years,I noticed I got really sore breasts and acne so I went and got mine out straight away I think you get more of the hormones when the mirenas time is nearly up,I had a lot of bad side effects from mine. happy birthday for next http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12428 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:24:10 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12445 Really sorry! I'm such an idiot!! I had my daughter in oct 2003 and had coil inserted in dec 03........... MAJOR typing error!! My diet and exercise are both ok. Live in the country so no pollution and plenty of fresh air...... http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12445 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 03:41:34 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12655 yes, it is because it is "wearing off" - for example i got my first period in five years last week as it was due to be replaced (i just got a new one today) http://www.medications.com/effect/view/34565?item=12655
