Mirena and problem thanks

I've had the Mirena twice now..Once after my first child and now after my second. I had problems the first time but my family and docs just kept saying it was all in my head-they still say the same things. So I decided to give it another shot. Once again I hate it!! I just had it placed this second time in Jan.-mainly for my husband. I have yet to stop bleeding, I have awful cramps all the time, acne, sore breasts, bloated stomach..etc..I'm trying really hard to lose my remaining baby weight and the last thing I need is something adding more weight! When I tell people what I've read on this site they say everyone is crazy that Mirena couldn't cause such things..If that were true than why do all of us have the same problems? We can't all be crazy! I want mine out but my doctor always gives me a hard time and I pretty much beg him to take it out. I don't understand why this thing is still on the market! After all these awful things being posted I'd think somebody would do something about it. I suffer with bad anxiety and I think the Mirena is making it worse...Anybody else have this problem?? Thanks for all the posts! Maybe together we can get the word out and stop others from going through what we have!

Hi all, I'm sorry to hear of all the bad side effects that everyone has experienced. I've had my mirena for a little over a year now and I haven't had any of these side effects as far as I know. I'm a little surprised that some of you only had some cramps when you got it inserted. Mine was excruciating and I felt sick and almost passed out. However, since then I have felt great physically and have not had any major problem. I had one period after insertion and that has been it for a year. It's awesome! The only thing that I am wondering is that after I have intercourse I do experience some weird pain and pressure for a couple of days afterwords. I didn't know if these are the cysts that they speak of or if its normal, but thats always kinda worried me. Do any of you have this problem? Thanks

I am having a Tubal Ligation and Ablation in June and was supposed to have my Mirena removed at that time. I decided with encouragement from my husband to have it removed this Friday. I am hopelessly tired of living this way and can't wait to have it removed. I am a little scared about the pain and bleeding but one month is not a long time to wait for surgery that will help (I hope). I am 43 years old and hoping to feel like myself again before this was inserted. I too walked around not believing that the Mirena could cause these issues but my husband keeps saying-"could all of you ladies be wrong, could all of you ladies really be telling the same story when you don't even know each other". That's when it hit me that maybe i am not crazy, maybe this is not due to "OLD AGE" (43-is not old). I will come back on line after this is out and let you know how i feel. I just pray that this is really the solution to the problem.
thanks for listening
