More updates. I post every week with updates. I am now 3 weeks post Mirena. yes I had ALL the side effects everyone else has listed. All side effects have subsided except for the weight gain. My bloating disappeared right away which was severe water retention and possibly blood. For instance my breasts went down and stopped hurting immediately and my belly improved but I have not shed the FAT that my body stored thinking I was prego. So I might have lost 5 or 10 lbs. Thats the only side effect I am still dealing with and will have to start dieting and exercising to jump start my sluggish metabolism. The most recent side effects I want to report at week 3 to disappear is MY SEX DRIVE IS BACK!!! WOW! and....I finally am sleeping soundly through the night!
You will hear from me when I lose all the silly weight I gained. But it might not be until its warm enough to get outside and walk, run and ride my bike and play with the kids. Im in hibernation right now!LOL And Im too wimpy to starve myself at the moment!
To all of your contemplating removal: There is absolutely no benefit to keeping the Mirena that could outweigh the long term destructive side effects. Dont wait, it doesn't get better. Just get it out now.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Mirena. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Mirena, then we encourage you to enter it here. Please note that entries here are the experiences of individual users, and in no way means that you or anyone else will experience the same side effect, since the same medication affects people in different ways.
