Mirena and body hair

I have the mirena now for about 4 months, ive gone from and outgoing fun loving, keep fit person to a person who doesn't want to go out, i wont train cos ive abdominal cramps. Im getting panic attacks, heart palpitations.
My sex drive has hit the pits.... when i do manage do try sex it hurts like hell... my vagina feels all spongy on the inside.

My back hurts, im constipated, cos when i try and go i get cramps in my tummy.
My periods stopped which is what i love about the coil, but i pay for it another way with monthly bloating and cramps.
I never had period pain or cramps before the mirena.
I've turned in to a monster, my moods is a rollercoaster, i feel my husband is cheating or doesn't love me any more. But he does love me and isn't cheating, its the coil thats making me feel this way.

And for the body hair what can i say. I no sooner shave my legs and then they are back to looking like leg warmers. Facial hair is another, and then the pain in waxing.

This list is endless. there isn't just one thing i hate about the mirena but all of it. We had sex 2 nights ago and now i am bleeding so much that its like as if i just had a baby. I am drained yet i don't need iron tablets.
My husband is now going to have a vasectomy ASAP..

I can't believe I've stumbled on this website. Until now my symptoms did not make sense to me.
I had my Mirena in 2005 after the birth of my son. My life has changed dramatically since then & I didn't put it together until now. I was plagued by nasty vaginal discharge from the start. Though my period stopped completely what replaced it was a terrible vaginal odor that no amount of washing, deodorant spray, etc will cure. It's a bacterial infection that will not leave me alone. I almost always have it. Before the Mirena I never heard of it. My sex drive & sensation is virtually none. I even went as far as having a female piercing as I read it increases sensitivity. This is upsetting as I've never had problems with odor, loss of sensitivity or inability to achieve orgasm. Along with this I've experienced a large weight gain, abdominal bloating, migraines, aching joints, decrease in vision, back pain, dizziness, exhaustion, increase in body hair growth yet limp thinning hair, & fibroids.

I have an appointment in July to get this thing out & wish I had been more informed of the side effects.

I've had my Mirena in for about a month now, and honestly, it hasn't given me any problems. Of course I had cramps in the first week, and spotting for the first 3 months or whatever...but I can truly say that I love this birth control, and I hope not to get the negative side effects like most of these women. If you are considering the Mirena for birth control, talk with your doctor. If you have problems, talk with your doctor...if you're pissed off because you feel like you wasted your money, maybe you should take a second to think about it...neither you nor your doctor can look into a crystal ball to find out how something will effect you. But please, if you are considering the Mirena, don't decide against it because what a bunch of middle-aged women (with less than healthy reproductive systems) said. I'm 20 years old, and this IUD is a blessing.

I had my Mirena put in on the 21st January 08. I am constantly feeling nauseous! So I don't eat as much, maybe 2 meals a day and I am usually sick if I have any form or food and drink after 8pm. Despite this I have not necessarily gained weight (1lbs) but I have gained so much fat. I have never been this big. I don't fit my fat jeans I wore 3 years ago. I cant wear the jeans I wore 2 years ago. And all the pairs I lived in from last January (07) or even august do not fit. At all. Constantly bloated. I have itchy legs. Keep getting upset. (I rarely cry). Got a few spots, nothing terrible, but I never get spots. And I cannot sleep. My doctor has prescribed sleep meds for 6 days but thats it. I keep getting cramps, dull cramps... I had one hideous one once put in, then it was normal dull cramps. My body hair has got on darker... Problem is I forget pills, and depo hasn't works (also bad reaction to hormones (no implant, don't want it) I have got pains in my legs, but its not all the IUD
