Hi, I put a post on here yesterday and things have progressed since then. Last night I went to bed and felt like I could have hung myself, I cried myself to sleep (something I haven't done in a long while), I was so emotional, the pain in my side had intensified and I couldn't lie on my right side. It also occurred to me after reading some more posts on here that it probably is the cause of my back ache, I have had lower backache for some time now, i know its not my bed cos it cost me a lot of money to get the right mattress etc. I have also have had an achey feeling at the top of my right leg if I stretch it out, in my hip flexer, again I didn't put it to the mirena but now it seems it might well be from that.
Anyway, I have just phoned hte hospital and am going to have it taken out today, I have to turn up and hang around until they can fit me in, i don't care, I can't wait til Tuesday, I don't want another night like last night and living on pain killers.
Its funny cos 3 of the girls I work with have had it and said it was great, that's partly why I went for it, their periods have stopped completely, they don't get any nasty side affects at all. The only difference is that they have had children and I haven't, not that that should make any difference after reading some of these posts.
I'm not looking forward to the actual 'removal' if its anything like the insertion but its a small price to pay.
I'll let you all know if there are any changes afterwards.
Hang in there girls, you're not alone! :o)

Well my personal experience is that it sucks, and isn't worth it. I had mine inserted last September, and in the beginning I had some heavy periods and cramping, and now that passed a few months ago. But now the cramping is back, very severe off and on, lower backache, and my headaches are back. I have started have a thick brown discharge (sorry, I know too much info), I'm nauseas, light headed, gaining weight, my hairs falling out like crazy, the acne is terrible(never had a problem before), depressed, my moods are insane, one minute I'm on top of the world, and the next I'm yelling and screaming. It's tearing my family up!! I'm definitely going to get it removed. I guess my body is just rejecting it. But remember this is just my personal experience, and everyone's bodies accept and reject things differently.
