I am 34 and have 2 children, 11 years apart. I decided on the Mirena to not have to worry about getting pregnant again anytime soon. In 6 weeks I had dropped half of the weight from pregnancy for it to come right back in 6 weeks, I received the Mirena at my 6 week check-up. My sex drive is null and void, it's like I have to psyche myself up for days and then 24-48 hours after sex I start to bleed which lasts for 2 damn weeks. Certain positions are painful. I had attributed all this to being older with my 2nd pregnancy and more stress with my oldest daughter and her schedule, both mine and my husbands full-time work schedules as well as coaching, but it seems as though this Mirena may be the cause. I was even told by my husband that I was not the same person he fell in love with. I know and feel my moods have been different but also attributed it to post-partum...IT's been almost a year since having my 2nd and still feel terrible. I think I will be making an appointment to have this removed ASAP. I am glad everyone was willing to share their experiences to confirm I am not secretly a nasty crazy, senile old witch!! To sum it up, here are all mi side effects:
