i want to start off with IM SOOOOO GLAD I FOUND THIS SITE!!!

i though.. well i wasn't actually sure what to think.. i got my mirena at the end of January 2008.. at first things were going good... yes my periods got longer.. 3 times longer then normal actually.. i wasn't too worried because the OB said that might happen at first. then slowly i started loosing my sex drive ( im only 25 that really shouldn't happen) started getting achy, especially in my joints, so i started drinking more water. then my clothes started getting tighter.. i cut out soda all together and started watching what i eat more closely..i have also had some pretty bad anexity attacks lately.. which i never had before i got this thing.. i dint know what to do i though i was going crazy.. i talked to my doctors and basically got nothing out of that.. im now in my 6th month of having mirena and i have gained almost 30 pounds!!!! yes i have been hungry all the time but i either restrain myself fream eating altogether or eat healthy snacks.. i exercise daily and still am unable to lose any weight.. the numbers on the scale just keep creeping up and up.. im am moody and easily worn out.. i have no energy at all.. which isnt good with a 3 year old that has more energy then the sun.. i had no idea that mirena could cause any of these symptoms.. but the more i have been reading about it and the more site like these i find, the more i realize that the most likely culprut of losing myself is mirena.. i have decided that on Monday im calling my OB and demanding she remove it!! i want my old self back again.. i wasn't perfect but at least ill be me.. thank you all for sharing your experiences, you made a world of difference!!!!

1dragonfly - Oh my god. I can't believe I have just stumbled upon all these women talking about the same problems. Feeling chronic fatigue, depression, listlessness, anxiety and insomnia, bloating and loss of a sex drive! I also experience aching muscles, headaches, and a brain fog that makes me feel like a fraction of my former self. All of these symptoms, among others, can describe Candida overgrowth. I have had my Mirena for 2 1/2 years, and I never put together these symptoms and the IUD! Even though they started shortly after my insertion, I also had some serious life circumstances happen to me and assumed I felt crummy from that. Also, I loved not thinking about birth control and was convinced that the small progestin-only tips had to be the most gentel form of hormonal birth control out there. I also worked in the field of sexual health and trusted my doctor completely. I called to make an appointment to have the Mirena removed shortly before finding this site, because since I have discovered I have candida overgrowth, I have learned it can be onset by hormonal birth control. Candidiasis Albicons is the same yeast that causes yeast infections, and when the healthy flora of the digestive tract are compromised, it can spread out of control, becoming systematic. That's what happened to me. If this sounds all to familiar, please check it out and see if you have it too. I am getting better already, after committing for the last two weeks to the candida diet, where my body is detoxifying and I am comming back to life. (Many western doctors know very little about this, so don't be surprised if they laugh you out of the room and perscribe prosac. Trust your gut, literally ;) I don't believe the Mirena caused my candida overgrowth, only that its a factor in it, like taking antibiotics or heavy metal poisoning. I felt compelled to share my story, because I am starting to recover, and I can't tell you how good it feels to feel better after 2 1/2 foggy years. Don't give up on your health. Also, I am writing because removing the IUD won't fix your problem completly, just like it didn't completly cause it, so if you have think you may have systemic candida, find out. You will need to continue treating it after you get the IUD removed, so you get the full recovery you deserve. Hoping for more healthy ladies!
