THIS BIRTH CONTROL IS HORRIBLE. I got Mirena inserted in me on June 27, 2007 at 4:30pm. immediately after it was inserted i began to feel a lot of cramping and tightening in my lower abdomen and right leg. It was very overwhelming. I was on my cycle when it was inserted and did not come off of my cycle until August 17, 2007, and still spotting. I have since gained at leat 15 pounds and I do not know if I am depressed because of Mirena or because of the weight gain. I am neauseated almost all the time, and has had headaches out of this world. I thought it would be the best option for me because of the convience, but this has taken everything else to a whole new level. I feel like a totally different person and very argry for getting this thing in me. I PROMISE that I am not exagerrating. I thought it was "just me," but after seeing that many others feel the same as I do, is further encouraging me to get this thing out!!! I have my follow up appointment this week and I assure you that this thing is going to be out. I would rather take my chances with the pill, than deal with all of this BS.

I agree with goodyearchic I too have had my Mirena out for 3 weeks now and I would like to say to anyone doubting whether they should get theirs removed- go for it. I feel much much better, my spots have gone, my mood swings and craziness have disappeared and I feel fantastic. Whether it is psychological or not I don't know all I do know is that having the Mirena was one of the worst decisions of my life.
