Hello, I am 26 and got Mirena about 6 months ago -3 months after my twins were born......It wasn't painful because they say its easier right after childbirth since your cervix not closed all the way yet.....The reason I picked Mirena is because I cant take BC pills because of mood swings, depression, anxiety,etc.. and they say Mirena does not do that since it is a localized hormone rather than in your blood -well after reading all of these post today I am pretty upset.......I just went to the doctor and had increased my lexapro from the 10miligrams that I have been on for 3 years up to 20miligrams and wanted to put me on Abilify.....I didn't start Abilify THANK GOD but am upset to realize that I was actually just starting to feel better from post partum and was told Mirena does not do these things...This is really dangerous -Here I am with my new beautiful family and almost split up a few times dues to my craziness that is comming from Mirena!!!!!! I am starting to feel better after 2 weeks on higher dosage of antidepressants but now know I need to get this thing out-no sexual desires here for a long time-and was clueless as to why!!!
Vasactomy is the way to go but how would I try for the boy when ready???? Maybe save some -freeze it up and end up like OCTO MOM lol
