Hi everyone. So I got the Mirena two weeks ago. I did my research on the internet before getting this put in. I did see all the bad posts and I went in and talked to my doctor about it. She told me the hormone level that reaches your blood stream is so small that it cant have effects on you. She said she just wondered if the people posting on here just had other things going on or what not. She has also had the Mirena for six years and loves it.

On the other hand when I got it in I was on like day five of my period. It did pinch a little but wasn't overly painful. I did get cramps on the way home and I did take two ibuprofen before I went in. I would get sharp pains every once in a while too. Enough to where you stopped and said " ouch. " But I wasn't bleeding until like later on that day. I bled for a week and a half. I was bleeding to where I would soak two liners per day. It seemed like a lot of blood. Plus I felt like I was on my period the whole time.

My other side effect that I just cant handle at the moment are: my hair falling out. Im talking a ton of hair. I cant believe how much hair! ****** This is a picture right after I took a shower last night. That is from only one shower. Its falling out all the time. Its been doing it for about a week. But its every where!!

Since I got this in I have been tired. I notice a huge change with that. I just have been so sleepy. I was sleeping four hours at the most with my baby and I was doing so good not looking and being tired. Then he started sleeping 6 hours through the night.... and that made me have so much more sleep. I feel so much worse. I hate it!

Another effect: About 4 days after getting this in I just was mad. I told my husband I was just so mad that I couldn't stand it. Nothing happened to me.... but I was so pissed. I can tell I have changed. My moods have changed. Im being way more honest than I normally am. Little tiny things make me mad super fast and Im being mean. My husband even approached me last weekend and said that I have said a lot of mean things over the last two weeks. I can notice that Im different but didnt realize I was being mean. He can notice a huge change.

Just One More Effect: Sex drive is gone. I was talking to my husband the weekend before about my drive being very high... then BAM I got this thing in and its gone! The sex drive being gone, being mean, and careless is enough to ruin a marriage to me.

I just called to ask if I can get this thing out. I just cant do this anymore. I have to wait four more weeks before I can get it out. Plus I have to pay 150 bucks on top of the 385 to get it put in! I have read that some people tolerate this very well... and others just don't. I rarely have found someone that has been in the middle. Its one way or the other. Dont you notice that?!

Feel free to email me if you want to talk more. I honestly don't mind.
