So You Think Your IUD Is Causing Adverse Affects?

If you are reading this blog, you may already be having suspicions that your IUD is the cause of any negative side effects you are experiencing. Please know that first of all, you are not alone, and you aren't crazy. You know your body better than anyone else, and you know if something is affecting your body in a negative way.

Before you go to a doctor, take the time to sit down and document what is happening, or has happened since you got the IUD. Make comparisons of life before and after the IUD. If you are having weight gain, make sure that you have taken personal responsibility and have changed your eating habits, and that you exercise. Take it from me, even if you are, the doctor is still going to challenge you. If you are doing nothing, the doctor may not take you seriously, and will just tell you to go exercise. In my opinion, this is just going to waste your time, because the exercise isn't going to help. You certainly should be, and it will keep you healthy, but it won't help you lose weight on the Mirena.

After you have documented what has happened to you, be sure to read the small print in BOTH the US and Canadian versions of the Mirena literature. (links listed on the side) I found that the Canadian version of the literature listed side effects NOT included in the US version, many of which I am experiencing. It also states that women with depression or mental issues shouldn't have the Mirena, something the US version omits. If you are having depression post-IUD, you are not doing anything wrong, and you're not crazy. It could very well be your IUD.

Now that you are armed with information, see your OBGYN and present your case. If they don't believe you, then you need to find a doctor who will. Don't let your doctor make you feel crazy or make you feel like a bad person. It is their JOB to listen to you and take you seriously. I finally had to dispense with my OBGYN and rely on my GP. She not only is going to remove my IUD, but she is doing it and listing it as a Pap Smear, so that it's covered by insurance. My OB wouldn't do this, and was going to charge me over $250 for removal. Your doctor should be a trusted ally, NOT an adversary!

My advice? If you are having negative side effects, don't wait the way I did. Get the IUD removed. In my experience, the side effects don't get better, so save yourself the frustration.

since having the mirena out on the 17/6/2013 i have still been to the emergency ward once and back to the doctor numerous times. I have an appt with a specialist on the 19th August to find out what this thing has done to me. I am over it. It needs to be recalled worldwide. The only people believe it or not who were even interested in what I had experienced was Bayer Pharmaceuticals themselves.
I had sex with my boyfriend last Thursday and haven't been able to walk since. i get dizzy and need to rest constantly. I have had enough of not being able to do anything but lay in a fetal position on the left hand side. My Knees want to be pulled closed to my chest constantly. I have had it and7 weeks after removal nothing has changed for me.I am constantly on anti biotics since removal and am sick of still feeling sick. I had an ultra sound yesterday on my abdomen, I refuse to have X-rays and CT or MRI's ever again. This thing has given me peritonitis and the doctor had better hurry up and start listening to me. I have experienced every adverse side effect and who ever decided that this type of device was safe for us to use as a contraceptive has rocks in their heads. Don't think that this thing is good for you. It will hit you hard and fast when your body decides it's had enough. I am over being tired and unable to parent my children as I would like to. Being a single mother of 3 and now going through this is now effecting my emotional state more than anyone else, or even myself could have for that matter! My life is completely destroyed and I am over being treated as crazy.

So what happens if you have bad cramps sever depression, mood swings ,aggression, heavy heavy periods before the mirena .. then get it? I just got mine today and I had all these issue prior to IUD.

Unknown said...

If you had all those issues before the mirena, personally I believe, you may get worse. It might work for you but I fear for you. After having mine removed I now fear what it has done to me. I never had a period for 8.5 years. My doctor now tells me I have endometriosis, to be confirmed by specialist on 19th this month, which causes frozen pelvis. I thought this deadly device was a godsend of a device now I want to pull it out of everyone I know who has one inserted. It changed me, I've watched it destroy 2 other people's lives and we are still told doesn't happen. How can 3 people from different areas have same symptoms and that's the only link between us?

Your story sounds exactly like mine. I'm on my second mirena next year is when it's due to be removed. I've had chronic uticaria since 2007 everyday with extreme weight gain and horrible insomnia. Depression and anxiety. I have an appointment the end of the month I'm going to have it removed but I was shocked at these stories and how they may be the mirena. Wow!

I had the Mirena inserted nearly 4.5 yrs ago 4 months post delivery of my 1st child. I am 45. Insertion was not painful. Periods stopped almost immediately. The 1st problem I noticed was the moderate to severe back pain for no reason or doing regular work around the house. I was quite surprised at such pain. was worse the 1st 2 yrs and has calmed down but I have a nagging ache in my right hip down my leg most days and changes of position or laydowns can't seem to relieve it. I have had acne. Never had all my life. the odd one that leaves a nasty scar now. A huge issue is the constant fatique the whole time and gotten worse as iud in me. I have been experiencing low grade depression at times but I believe it's been worse the last year for sure. I asked my Doc to refer me to a psychologist to almost 2 yrs ago and still after a few exchanges with him have had no referral come through for me. Alot of the professionals out there I know via my job in some way and it's been doors closing instead of opening. In fact, a few wks ago I met all the criteria for ''major depressive episode'' because I sought out counselling for such things as anxiety, more than my norm, panic attacks (not my norm) and severe mood swings the last 2 yrs but much worse the last year. I am MISERABLE and feel most days like I am going crazy. I am not 'diagnosed' as of yet with the depression but I have just connected the dots in a major way re. the Mirena. I can't believe I did not see the signs of the depression all along. I was off an entire year for same years ago and it is culminating itself differently this time, I believe due to this foreign body causing a shift in hormones. I cry daily numerous times/day for nothing. I am NOT in a dark place thankfully! Being a single mom to a pre-schooler has not been as enjoyable as it should have been the last few years. I feel so bad and guilty for him to see me cry, fatigue, being short with him. I feel like I am going crazy most of the time but my intelligence tells me it's the IUD. I have some hair loss, sleeplessness too. I should NEVER have been reccommended it due depressive past!! so angry. It has affected my child, my significant other and my job over and over. Somehow I am hanging on. I went to my Doc recently who wrote up the referral then and there to my OBGYN and hit the send button because I WANT IT OUT! Now I hear it will be months. I feel like I'm drowning here and inside I am silently screaming. I feel such a pressure in my chest most days at some point I have to take an ativan to get through. I ended up in emerge several wks ago because I was such in a state of 'crisis' panic, low mood, crying, depressed, not eating/sleeping for so long I thought I was losing it. unfortunately some rare individuals are supportive and some have made it sadder for me because it's hard to explain what I'm going through.

here's to hoping it comes out sooner than later!! My heart goes out to all the other women who suffered and I am thankful for these forums to compare and the similarities are ''goosebumps'' familiar.

Oh my GOD I can't even believe these stories and how so many match up with key factors of my own! It's been four years for me with the mirena. Insertion was painful but nothing I couldn't handle. After that, I have never bled...NOT. ONCE. Four years, and not a single drop of blood. I've had brownish-clearish or pinkish-clearish spotting, but that's about it. It worries me.

The first couple years seemed just fine. The third year, I discovered I had ovarian cysts and a few ruptured randomly one night. It was the most agonizing experience, ever. It was severe period cramping times ten (I'm not exaggerating, I thought I was dying!) sweating, nausea, hot and cold flashes, and I turned a pale yellow. The symptoms have seemed to worsen, and this past year has been HORRIFIC.

Terrible, terrible mood swings. Sometimes I feel like I act like a complete monster to my boyfriend, but it's like I feel this deep desire to release this rage and I don't know where it's coming from. I get ruthlessly angry over the smallest things.

I haven't told my boyfriend, but I hate sex. Which sucks because in all actuality, *I love sex*, I love the connection and everything about it. But now, sex hurts so much. It can feel good at times, but mostly I just feel so uncomfortable. My boyfriend is not huge, he is of average penis size, and sometimes I feel his penis poking my cervix or something and IT HURTS SO BAD I WANT TO CRY. And after every time we are intimate, I feel like my uterus and insides have been shaken to their core.

I have completely lost my sex drive, and have become severely depressed and suicidal, and I am afraid to leave my apartment. I've come close to just ending it, so close. I have battled with acne my whole life but it has been the worst it's ever been in the last few months. I've also developed food sensitivities, especially to sugar and gluten.

I've gotten these acne/rosacea like symptoms; The acne forms around my jaw, mouth, neck, and cheeks, and leaves marks. My skin gets horrible rashes, mainly on my chest, and certain areas of my body begin to itch for no reason (even if I am good with my diet). My face feels itchy constantly.

My hair feels so thin, I used to have extremely thick hair.

Even aside from all of these physical and emotional symptoms, I've just had this general feeling of emptiness. My motivating has gone out the window. I am tired all of the time. I sleep for 12 or 13 hours straight.

I am DONE. Scheduled an appointment next week to get this foreign thing OUT OF MY BODY.

No wonder my body reacted all crazy, it was trying to tell me that something is wrong! LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. DO NOT GET MIRENA, IT IS NOT NATURAL!

Hi I have a question for who ever has a answer I GOT the IUD IN 2009 AND EVER I HAVE SPOTTING AFTER SEX AND REALLY BAD PAIN with different positions THE Ddoctor told me its because he's to big but never had this pain and ever since I had it put in I notice that I have a funny smell I changed all my soaps and it still won't go away are these side effects of the IUD

Susan C, JD said...

Like so many stories before mine, I had the Mirena for over 3 1/2 years. I am 31 years old, and have no children. Two weeks ago, I removed the IUD myself and I couldn't be happier! My sex drive went from being borderline sex addict to ZERO! I didn't want my boyfriend to touch me, I wasn't attracted to him or any man, even hearing stories about sex disgusted me. Zero sex drive. Zero motivation in life. I was needing 9-12 hours of sleep a night, and even an atom bomb couldn't have woken me up from my sleep. For the first time in my life, I was getting acne on my face. I was just an overall moody, bitchy person and it got worse as the years drug on. If you ask anyone that knows me well, I was a positive person and always cheerful but the IUD changed me in so many ways. I am now trying to repair my relationship with my boyfriend. I feel awful for being such a terrible girlfriend and constantly rejecting his advances. He is a doctor and is having a hard time believing that this little birth control device could be responsible for so much havoc. He thinks I'm making this all up. Ladies, you know your bodies. If you feel like something is wrong, don't blame it on other things or second guess yourself. Get that thing out of your body! Your relationships and jobs may suffer if you don't.

Hi,
I have had Mirena for 2 years and then have it removed because of side affects that you all write about. It was a year ago and still now I don't have regullar periods and my GYN said that I probably have other hormonal irregularities ;-(. I made a test for thyroid problems and it is just fine. So I'm stuck with extra 10 kgs, big breasts and swallen belly, memory problems and absolutely no sex-drive and with no energy. My period comes once in 2-3 months and I feel like I'm getting in MENOPAUSE! Btw I'm 36...

So its great to know im not alone! I had the iud put in back in april of 09' after my youngest son was born. I had never had trouble with periods before no heavy bleeding, nothing abnormal. Not even a week after my Gyn did the iud I had a pain like no other I had developed cysts and they started rupturing. He said it was normal and it would go away. No biggie just give it some time. Pft.. not a week after that I started bleeding and didn't stop for 8 months. I knew I was going nuts emotional all the time, angrym picking fight over stupid stuff that normally would never have come up! I hated life, and my kids and husban paid for it I was a basket case. So back to the doc I went "lifes just hard and we have a pill that will fix ya right up", didn't help. More trips to the doc and still all normal! No with the cramps before and after and during sex, I ask "is that normal too?" The reply comes " the best way to help cramos is have more sex it helps to relax all that". So I thought I wil give it a try. My husbad was glad,I think he had give up on the thought of sex ever again. Again more pain! I finally went in again in June of 2012 and said I was done its coming out! When they took it out it had tissue on it? But again that was normal!! Now I have had 1 surgery to fix some "issues" and now I am looking at a complete hysterectomy, they cant leave anything. I asked if it was the iud and, you guessed it, the answer was no. For someone who never had problems with her cycle before to someone who has endometrios and massive cysts now after it, nope I dont buy it. I know in my heart it was this awesome
iud! I feel for my husband and kids it was a long few years and I would do anything to get that 3 years of my life back. Now I am going to have this surgery and work on getting back to me and hopeful I will get rid of the extra lbs I added while I was on it!

I have had it. I am still sick as a dog since removal. I found out the other day some hormone producing gland in my brain is producing 11.5 times the amount of prolactin it is supposed to be. I now have an over active thyroid, I want to rip my pancreas out and I've just decided I'm demanding a hysterectomy to find out what this thing has literally done to me. I have had a slight period 2 weeks after removal and absolutely nothing since. My head feels like it has pins and needles and I'm still sleeping 14 hours a day. Everything is too much of an effort and I am going to end up back in the psych ward unless someone makes this shit stop. I'm over doctors denial this is the cause. I feel like I've had a baby and in list natal depression mode. I will not let my boyfriend come near me and my life is falling apart and right now I couldn't care less. I cannot leave my house. I'm too scared to drive my car. I feel like there is some infection in my stomach now heading for my brain. My spine gets hot and I can't fucking walk. In Australia unless its recalled its hard to claim for injury. You must get a doctor to say so in court. good luck with that! What about my mental health, my kids and those I love believing the doctors and its all in my head. Yeah it is, it's about to explode. If anyone has a law suit and need evidence, I'm right here. I try and I try to pretend its all psychological, until I get out of bed. This is bull shit!

I haven't ever had a yeast infection until I went on Mirena. Then about a year after I had it inserted they have been non stop! Month after month. So no instead of bleeding and cramps I have itching and discharge.

A good trade off? depends... I get queasy at the sight of blood. Even with my own time of the month. But the ITCHING is UNBEARABLE!!!

Though I haven't luckily had any of these other symptoms.. other than a little weight gain (but that's common with MOST BC)

I love my Mirena and have 3 more years. I will just have to deal. Though I did wish my doctor had warned me.

Anonymous said...

I accepted Mirena when my Dr suggested it because i was breastfeeding and apparently you can't take the pill while breastfeedig. i made the mistake of not reading the pamphlet until after it was installed or i never would have gotten it. the first line is that no one knows how it works. The physical object in your uterus or the 5 years worth of hormone.. either is scary enough. My Dr didn't pressure me in to getting it but it was hard to get it removed - i had pregnancy Medicaid so paid out of pocket to get it removed, i went to our county health department and was told that my hairloss (!! 2/3 of my hair and counting, hairloss started coincidently when mirena was inserted. my main reason for removing after 2 months) @anyway she blamed the hairloss on post partum and tried to say all the negative reviews are lawyers trying to make cases... Listen to your bodies ladies. The risk is high- this thing doesn't prevent you from getting pregnant it just kills the embryo if you. Weight gain, hairloss, permanent infertility, mood swings, depression, hormonal imbalance, decreased sex drive. I am too young to be a victim oft his media/government driven monster. Feeling better already. PS women are required to get them in Mexico and China.. not a good sign for our American future as if you needed another reason to revolt.

I have had mirena for 4 years now.i was 20 when i had mirena inserted (daughter was 2 at the time). Sure inserting it was a bit painful afterwards for two days...then it was fine...I have been fine ever since... but then I've been a bit suspicious reading about the lawsuits and all about mirena...I just happen to cross this website... and I am now conviced that perhaps those 4 yrs wasn't just a breeze with good ol mirena. Never did I have headaches until after the iud was put in... its every week.. I figured it was jus me..something normal...but I also gained 40 pounds and I eat healthy and exercise daily... I get cystic acne now that seriously hurts and never had acne before like this... I get the slight pain in my pelvix area..like there one sec and gone..but its often... I have spiraled down from being ambitious and happy to moodswings, depression and awful anxiety... the only highlight of having mirena is not worrinf about taking the pill and the fact that I have not had a period in four years!! Thatw the only reason I want to keep it....but I want to believe that if I go next week to get it out...that my angry depressed moodswings will vanish completely that I may actually have a normal relationship with my boyfrend of four years. Has anybody notice the change in their mental state after removal???

I had Mirena inserted 3 1/2 months ago. I bled and cramped for almost two months straight after it was inserted, but I was told by my doctor that this would probably happen. I'm now on my second period since that initial 7-week bleed, having had spotting in between also. My sister has Mirena and is period-free. I have never bled or cramped so much in my life! I've noticed that when I check my strings, it sets off the cramping even more and I'm afraid to have sex on the rare occasions that I'm not spotting or bleeding. This is beginning to NOT feel right for my body. I have experienced tingling in my hands two times already in the short time that I've had Mirena. This never happened before. I have four female family members with Lupus and another who may have it, and reading the comments on here about autoimmune symptoms, I am scared. I've had more headaches. I'm now noticing tenderness in my abdomen on my right side. I'm thinking that it is not worth the risks!

I had my Mirena put in 2 years ago and was the most painful experience of my life. The first few months were horrible and periods were agonising and lasted longer. Sex was also painful.

After a few months, it settled down and all was going well although I noticed my hair was thinning. I had previously had really long, thick curly hair. After 8 months, I asked my doctor if it could be the Mirena coil causing my hair loss and she said no because I wouldn't still be getting side effects. Hmmm. I had a blood test and it showed that my thyroid was fine.

2 years later, I've lost half my hair volume. It grows but snaps off and my scalp is itchy and scabby. My face has come up in a permanent rash which is itchy and I keep getting painful lumps, like boils, all over my face. This has lasted for the past 2 months.

My periods have pretty much stopped now and I have just got the odd bit of spotting over the past two months, although nasty cramps at the same time.

I have had numerous breast cysts, one of which turned into an abscess which had to be operated on 3 times.

I've put on weight and my mood has been terrible with feelings of severe depression. I read on the Canadian version that it's not supposed to be given to people with a history of depression or mental illness.

I absolutely hate it so want it removed as soon as but I live in Asia and so think I'll have to fly home especially to the UK to have it removed. Depresses me to think my hair might not grow back - it now is thin, short and looks like I've had a bad perm. I've lost all my confidence.

I had mine put in 10 months ago on the recommendation of my gyn to help with my endometriosis. There was constant bleeding and cramping for the first two months, which eventually tapered off. My periods became regular, but I noticed sore breasts and PMS like symptoms starting 2 weeks before my first day of my period, this was very unusual. I've been pretty much in a fog for the past 9 or so months, unable to focus, very sad/depressed most days. Some days I can't even find the courage to face the day. I've lost my sex drive completely. I've lost friendships due to my anger and depression and lack of wanting to engage in any kind of activity that I once found fun or exciting. I feel constant pain in the lower part of my abdomen. I'm bloated all the time and my hair has started to fall out at an alarming rate. I strongly feel that the Mirena IUD has been the cause of recently feeling suicidal. I'm calling my GP tomorrow to have this removed. I'm a shell of the person I once was.

I had my baby on August 1st of this year and had the Mirena inserted on September 27, 2013....just 3 days ago. I have always had trouble with birth control and had tried seven different brand - everything from tricyclin, marvelon, alesse, nuva ring etc, and found that i always had some sort of negative side effect.

Before i was discharged from the hospital one of the doctors came to speak to me about getting an IUD since i am breastfeeding. Even if I wasnt i would not consider taking the pill because of my previous experiences. She pushed for the Mirena, saying that the hormones stayed localized and that they should have no effect. I trusted her opinion so I booked to have it inserted 8 weeks later.

My appointment was on Friday. It was a painless procedure, just some mild cramping afterwards. Mostly just a little nausea. Saturday was fine. By Sunday i felt like I had was going to have a melt down so i went to my mothers for some company while hubby was at work. By Sunday evening I was a disaster....so tired but unable to sleep, pain in my shoulders and general achy body. I just laid there and cried because i was so tired - not something i would typically do. Monday morning [today] i woke up and spent the better part of the morning crying, for no good reason. My mother stopped by for a quick visit and said she had noticed a big change in my disposition over the last few days and asked if i had dont my research on the Mirena.

I know my body well enough that I didnt even need to look into any further. I promptly picked up the phone and called the OBGYN clinic and scheduled an appointment to get it removed two days later. I couldnt even speak to the receptionist to explain why i needed an appointment without bawling...luckily she is a friend of my moms so it wasnt awkward. Luckily things like this are covered by our health care system and the IUD itself was covered by my health insurance.

I felt better having made the appointment but was feeling uneasy that i even had to wait two days to get it removed so I decided to give a gentle tug on the strings and see if it would dislodge easily. Once i got a hold on both strings, i pulled VERY gently and the device came right out. I have never felt more relieved. I know it would be better to have it removed by my doctor, but it was so easy that I was glad i didn't wait...two more days and i am sure i would have been a basket case.

I am so lucky to have not endured years of suffering like many of the previous posters..if I was a sobbing mess after two days i can only imagine what a few weeks, months, or years would have done to me and my family.

Listen to your bodies and take charge, don't let doctors push their ideas and preferences on you. If you feel that it is negatively affecting your quality of life you must take action! Everyone deserves to be the happiest they can be.

Wow!!!.. You really went thru a lot.. I completely understand bc I am going thru many of the same symptoms and sometimes I feel like I am going crazy.. And I keep getting BV all the time.. It really is aggravating and I really just want this thing out.. Thank you for your story.

I'm curious is anyone has had problems reaching orgasm with the mirena inserted or after removal?? I know the mirena is the cause of my problem but MD doesn't believe me. She blames my anxiety meds which I was on before the mirena!! I thought after removal the problem would go away but it hasn't. :(

Unknown said...

Yes I have had that problems orgasming and many more since before and after removal. I have just been diagnosed with internal shingles. I say bull shit. I have internal herpes. I am going to see my doctor on Wednesday. I don't know what this thing has done to us but I've decided to make it my mission to find out. I have had abnormal Pap smears for the past 10 years. I have supposedly got simple cysts on my kidneys. When I yeah but cause of the cyst got told blastocysts as I supposedly has that too. This whole thing is beyond a joke. The mirena IUD grabs hold of infection and sucks it up. Great. No one knows what they're talking about. The symptoms are absurd. 70% women with undiagnosed internal herpes die from encephalitis. This is exactly what I've been saying I feel I have. I'm demanding a laparoscopy and spinal tap from each part of my spine. I've had sounds like fire crackers going off in the back of my head. Felt like my arms are trying to fly off. I either feel really heavy or like I'm flying off when I lay down. My skin is burning and orange. I'm over it. No X-ray ct scan or MRI can find anything. I've been locked in psych ward feeling like I was loved inside myself. I looked sick. Treated as psychotic. I will never get over this. My stomach is in constant pain and I get so sick after sex it's ridiculous!

Thank you very much for info! I was wondering why from ever skiny girl i became a belly fat monster...

I posted on Sept 25, 2013 about the issues that I felt were stemming from my IUD. It's now been over a month since I personally took it out (melted down in the middle of the night and took it out myself). I don't condone doing it yourself if you have access to free healthcare, but do understand women can be in a tough place on tight budgets in other parts of the world. Anyway, have a gp do it if you can, it'll eliminate any anxiety you might experience afterward if anything does seem off. Anyway, onto the results...

I'm back!! My life and mood have changed drastically since removing that torture device. I now actively engage in sex with my fiance, I can leave the house without anxiety or emotional stress and I've been reconnecting with those friends who's relationships I lost in my fog. My hair has stopped falling out too. After discussing the effects I was experiencing with my GP, she believes that my reactions were from too much progestin in my system. My hormones were completely out of whack. The only symptom she didn't relate directly with the actual mirena was my hairloss, which she attributed to emotional stress from the breakdown of one very important relationship 5 months prior to the start of hairloss. I'm doing well and encourage those of you out there struggling with any abnormal symptoms to seek out help, whether that's at a women's health clinic, your gyno, your gp or at your emergency room (I'm from Canada so my healthcare is thankfully covered).

Thank you all, so happy I found this. I got my mirena 13 months ago and over the past three weeks have had horrible cramping. I started questioning my IUD because I have also had acne and scaring like never before. I began to do some research and after reading this blog...eureka! This might also explain my panic attacks, irritability, loss of confidence, no sex drive, and wishing I felt like my old self. Calling my doc in the morning!

I went to the women's health clinic today. I don't know how many women on here are from Australia but here our medical system is complete crap. I have never experienced anything as outrageous as in the past 2 years. The IUD had ruined my life. I mentioned to the doctor yesterday how my research and 3 specialists told me the mirena IUD grabs hold of infection and sucks it up. His response was "we'll no, that's what the old copper IUD used to do." Why because he promotes the mirena IUD in his clinic. I'm over doctors and their lies. We are all showing symptoms of something and for me due to my lifestyle have probably made matters worse. I can't believe I have experienced the same symptoms as so many others and doctors won't believe. I was told I have shingles. I can't control logic and to me it makes sense as I have been treated for fungal and bacterial infections and still sick. Time to look at other things causing symptoms. Virus and parasites are next. When i had the copper iud removed it had a hair stuck to it. I now believe it was some parasite possibly caused by BV. Please don't think this thing is working for you. In retrospect I'm out to prove it will kill you. The girl who talked me in to getting one in the first place has supposedly got asthma since then and revived once that I know of. The IUD caused all her symptoms too I now believe. This has been going on for years.

I am so grateful to the ladies who have posted their comments on this blog. I've learnt more from you all than from either my GP & OBGYN. This blog has been eye opening! I've had my Mirena for coming up to 5 years, so it's due to be removed. I will not be replacing it with another! The side effects I had in the beginning seemed quite small, but over the 5 years, have escalated to the point where I am a completely different person. Depression is common in my family & when I began to experience the symptoms, I just put it down to that family connection. I haven't sought treatment as I'm one of those stoic people who doesn't like to make excuses or make a fuss - I just get on with it. The other symptoms I've suffered are: major hair loss, major weight gain, extreme tiredness, inability to concentrate, loss of muscle strength, complete loss of libido & vaginal dryness, irritability, joint pain & best of all - I now sport a lovely moustache! Of course I just put it down to ageing and running around after my growing children, but at 45, I feel about 70! It's coming out in a few weeks & I can't wait to feel myself again. I hope it doesn't take too long! Thanks again ladies, good luck with your experiences - be kind to yourselves! X

I want to use this testimonial post to say a very big thanks to the one i think is the real master of spell Therapist Oniha of the WIN EX BACK SPELL,what seems so difficult for others became so simple for him after i had spent huge amount of money to UNTRUTHFUL spell casters i meet before i eventually meet Therapist Oniha through the help of an old friend who he had worked for,my friend told me about his own case,he told me how he brought back his woman within 2days,i was so surprised with what he said so contacted him quickly and told him about my own case,when i contacted Therapist Oniha he said he will do it and he did it which i do not know how he do it for me,my man who had previously denied my pregnancy and put me to shame came back begin for my forgiveness and said he wanted me back in his life,which made me happy i my heart because i was already a laughing stock in my neighboring hood because he denied impregnating me publicly,i am a happy woman again because of Therapist Oniha contact Therapist Oniha of the winexbackspell@gmail.com and help me say a very BIG thanks to him.

well it's only been in me for 4 months now and I've had enough. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with feelings of regret about listening to the so called professionals. I'll even have a tough time getting my husband to let me get it out let alone pull it myself. I'll get to the family clinic asap and see how I go. Why is it that we are treated as ignorant just because we know our bodies. I'll keep in touch.

Here is another record of the effects of Mirena.. after the birth of my second daughter who is now seven I found sex painful and it din't improve over time. After a vaginal unltrasound it was explained as a symptom of Adenomyosis which is endometriosis in the womb. The treatment is the Mirena coil. I had used other hormonal contraception in the past to treat menstual migraine and they had all given me difficult side effects so I thought long and hard before agreeing to the coil. A week after insertion I had crippling back pain which did pass so I worked through it. But a few weeks later it returned preventing me from sitting down. I went back to the clinic where the coil had been inserted and was told that it was unlikely the coil would cause this problem. I perserved because I really wanted to treat the original problem. Over 11 months I had repeated back and leg pain which felt like the sciatic nerve was being pinched. I would be unable to put weight down my left leg onto my foot, sitting would be extremely painful and occaisionally I would get carpal tunnel pains in my left arm and loose the ability to grip. Towards the end of my 11 months on the mirena two of these episodes left me unable to walk for 24 hours.During the 11 months I was referred back to the gynacologist, who by their qualifications is very experienced, and also saw general doctors and psychosexual counsellors. Every medical professional I saw said that this pain was not related to the mirena coil or if it was it would be extremely rare. I began to keep a very detailed pain diary and proved that this pain occured around the middle of my menstrual cycle.. I was still getting light bleeding every month and migraines so I was fortunate to be able to recognize the pattern. Finally my doctor had to conceede that the coil should be removed to see if this resolved the pain. But even in this appointment when the coil came out easily the doctor reasserted that there is no scientific evidence to relate this pain to the mirena coil. It was only removed a week ago so I will keep my pain diary going and see what happen but I know this is the coil. I didn't suffer from this pain before the coil was inserted. I want to leave this comment for any women experiencing similar pain. I will post again in 6 months with an update, keeping my pain diary going, and hope that the coil hasn't left lasting damage.

I have the Mirena now, I got it January 25, 2013 and I've been getting yeast infections every month, hair is falling out in golf ball sizes every day, and I have no sex drive at all I don't even want to be touched. Now I have right abdominal pain, after reading all these stories I'm headed straight to the doctor to remove it.

Hello, ladies!
So far I have seen the US women talking. Well, I am from Russia, and I would like to put in my two cents.
Thank God for this site. What you guys are doing is great! The manufacturers will by all means hide the negative info or twist it so it does not look as scary and they get to make more money. I think the docs are underinformed as well. I think we should look out for each other and this site is a great way to do so!
I truly hope those of you who have been struggling with the side effects find the courage to get this thing removed and get your pre-Mirena selves back soon! I know we're all different, and some women do not get any side effects. However, from what I have read here it's all too similar to what I have been experiencing, I doubt it's just a simple coincidence.
Here's my story.
It's my first Mirena. It's been almost 5 yrs now.
At first, it was ok. I got mine inserted after I had my son. I have a reaaly cool ObGyn and she persuaded me it was the only option since I had a minor autoimmune problem associated with propensity to blood-clotting so COCs wasn't the option plus I have irregular and heavy periods.
At first, it was ok, really. Painless insertion and no pain whatsoever afterwards. I stopped having my periods but my OBGyn said it was an exected effect.
I do not have any probs with the weight gain/workout motivation;on the contrary, I have noticed my exercise endurance has increased and I have been able to recuperate faster after a workout. Never been better in this department.
As for the sex drive, I have the opposite reaction as well, mine has gone up quite a bit as compared to the pre-Mirena state. No dryness, no yeast infection. Sex is awesome. I can actually understand why men love it so much )))
But the other side effects are not so perky!
I have a TERRIBLE problem with the breakouts!!! I have NEVER had acne, my clear and sensitive skin used to be my pride and joy.
Since the second yr of my Mirena experience and up to this moment, I have spent tremedous amounts of money on the cosmetologists and all those peelings and salycilic acid treatments etc, NOTHING seems to help control this thing((
Gradually it has become a real curse! Also my hair is falling out!!! Like crazy...plus, it gets really greasy((( Plus I cannot concentrate, I keep forgetting where I left things, cannot remember the names and term, like I am post-stroke or smth. I used to be able to memorize many thigns at once and keep them all in my head, well now it's just not the same! I keep lashing out at ppl, and it's not like me at all((I have analyzed it and i all has started after the Mirena insertion.
My Obgyn has scheduled an appointemnt this Friday. She told me to go go get tested for the testosterone imbalance and thyroid problem but I am determined to remove this crappy device this Friday no matter what tests results I get!!! I have started to fear I might develop some serious medical problem if I do not have eit taken out asap.
I have read all your comments and
hope the side effects go away and I get my skin and my hair back! And I wish the same to all the victims of Mirena side effects!

I'm so glad I found this site! I thought I was going crazy. I have never been a b depressed person, but since I got this Thing I'm always sad. My body is not my own, I feel like we at war. All the issues that I read about mirror my own. Now I know this thing has got to go. Thank you so much.

I had the mirena placed in 2012 after the birth of my second child. It sounded too good to be true! 5 years of no pills, no generalised hormone releases, no pain, light periods and no more babies. My doctor assured me no side effects as the drug is realised locally into the uterus only. Too good to be true often is! Insertion was painless for me and I did not cramp at all, but I bled heavily for months and it wasn't long before I became depressed, moody, experienced heart palpitations, restless legs, sleeplessness, complete loss of libido and loss of desire to be fit and active. I broke out in horrible acne! I put on weight. I lost my zest for life and for my beautiful babies and gorgeous hubby! I started wondering about the mirena's part in all this. I react the same way to Yaz and other pills. My hubby said to me one night, 'you've started acting the same way as you did on the pill.' And that's when I began researching online. Suddenly my world and my faith in my obstetrician was shattered. Online I discovered 100's of women's testimonies regarding the IUD that exactly replicated my own experience. I started bawling and sobbing at the realisation of all the damage this evil thing had caused my body, my mind, my marriage and my motherhood! I tried to pull it out then and there and I felt like I had been hijacked by this awful foreign object! I could not feel the strings, the ones my hubby had complained about poking his penis during our rare sexual encounters :/ I booked in to my Ob ASAP explaining it was urgent. She tried to convince me it could not be the Mirena but I absolutely insisted it come out NOW! Then she tried to convince me I had Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)!! I studied a degree in Psychology and am familiar with GAD. I looked her calmly in the eyes and said, 'I agree! I am suffering horrendous bouts of anxiety that occur during common household tasks like changing a nappy or unloading the dishwasher and lack of sleep worrying about men breaking into my house! However, I KNOW it's caused by the Mirena, so TAKE IT OUT!' Needless to say, she agreed to take it out. She'd cut the strings a few months back after they were hurting my hubby's penis, hence couldn't find them to pull the cursed thing out, so I was admitted to hospital and put under a general to have it removed! A year later... My acne is gone! I can sleep, I can feel my libido increasing, I'm happy, patient and ... Me again. Women, don't let your intuition be challenged and revoked by your uninformed doctors! Get it out! If you think it's causing your problems, pain, mood swings, lupus-like-symptoms then it probably is! If not then at least remove it to rule it out!!! I HATE the Mirena and hormonal birth controls! Fancy pumping young, healthy bodies with un-needed hormones just to avoid pregnancy! We use condoms now and always will! Listen to your bodies!! Take control!! We are women and we deserve a voice over the pharmaceutical companies that have our money, NOT OUR BEST INTERESTS, at the forefront of their advertising campaigns! 'Nough said!

IUD FREE!! said...

This site is what saved me about 3 years ago. I thought I was going crazy! I found this thread, read every single one, and then made an appointment to get it out. My doctor did question me, and told me I was crazy, but if that's what I wanted, that's what she would do. I have been on the dreadful pill ever since. My question to all those who have had it taken out: What birth control method are you using now and what are the side effects from it? I'm trying to weigh my options again. Certainly not considering an IUD again though!

Looking at this blog and all these comments I wish I would have known this information before I got the Mirena inserted!

I got the IUD placed after my wedding in September of 2013. I had no issues with the insertion and at first it seemed like it was going to work. I was using it to help me regulate my period and help manage the flow and cramping associated with my period. Well not even a month after I got it placed it basically fell out and I had to go in to the ER to get it removed. I had another appointment that week to see my doctor and because I was having a good response to it we decided to place another one. Well this second one is not going good at all. Second on was placed in October of 2013 about one month after the first one. I have had non stop bleeding ever since, I have horrible cramping, in some cases worse than what I was dealing with before I ever had Mirena inserted. My husband and I are newly-weds and we have not been able to have sex since our honeymoon because I am either in to much pain, or because I am bleeding. I suffer from depression and we finally were just getting that under control and now it's flaring up again with the frustration of the Mirena. I've had ultrasounds to check the placement of the IUD and it's been good but I know my body and I know that this is causing terrible things to me and my body so I told my doctor I want it out, that was the middle of January. Unfortunately she is gone until March and I cannot get it removed until March 4!!! I look at these side effects and I relate 100%, depression, mood swings, exhaustion, no sex drive. Some of these may be minor to some people but when you deal with them for months on end (my biggest one is the the bleeding for almost 6 months) it really starts to take it's toll on an individual and especially a newly married couple!

I also want people to know what Mirena can do, I thought i'd give it some time for my body to get used to it, but my body is refusing it!

How can the drug companies approve this?!

This all makes me sad and frustrated even though I'm glad to have found it, especially tonight because I was really in despair earlier, I haven't felt this much like hurting myself in years and after I yelled at my cat just because she had jumped in my lap but failed to settle, but smacked against my unbelievably sore breasts once too often, I had just left a message for the women's health clinic where I had this damn thing inserted begging them for an appointment to have it taken out as soon as possible, and I thought I'd google these newest annoying side effects. And look, here are lots of women describing what I have been struggling with. What frustrates me tonight though is that I thought I had done some pretty good research before I had it inserted, and yet I hadn't read any of this. I talked to friends who'd had them, read a bunch of different pages where the posts were 90% overwhelmingly positive, and raised the 10% negative posts as questions with the staff at the clinic, and they assured me those were rare and unusual side effects, such as the one woman who'd posted that her husband could feel the strings when they had sex. Well - I've felt the damn strings every single day, poking me internally like needles, and when I checked them like the clinic told me to, I could not imagine how they wouldn't stab any poor bastard unlucky enough to encounter them (I had the Mirena inserted because of problems with heavy periods - bad luck me, because I've been bleeding for three months since it was inserted). Because I felt that the internal stabbing feeling couldn't be a good thing I had a follow up appointment a month ago and was told everything was fine and normal, and that no the "strings" really weren't any problem during sex, because basically vaginal sex is overall so pleasurable that the strings are nothing more to a penis than a minor annoyance. I was still sceptical, but as there aren't any of those things beating around the bush, so to speak, it's not really an issue. I assumed the bleeding would stop eventually, and that the increasingly bloated stomach was a sign I should do a bit more exercise, but the incredibly sore breasts of the last week is just too much. And realising tonight that my mood is really out of control is unacceptable - this was recommended to me as the only form of birth/period control that was suitable for someone with my bipolar diagnosis - but - before you jump to any conclusions - I know that I've never felt this irritable with my cat to the point that I've considered boarding her at the vet for a couple of days because I just can't take her jumping on my sore anatomy. That's ridiculous. And how much worse would that be if that weight were a boyfriend or husband? I'd also really really like to slap someone who posted way above that they had no problems with their IUD, and that they did not gain any weight, despite being hungry, they just didn't eat, which was probably the difference between them and everyone else here. Oooooh missy you are lucky you are not within arm's reach you self-righteous little madam. You see? Normally that would just merit an involuntary eyeroll.

I posted two days ago, somehow didn't manage to insert any paragraph breaks because Facebook of all silly things has trained me out of it - too many times it just cuts your entry off altogether). I had left a message at midnight on Friday night begging for an appointment on Saturday because I didn't feel like I could stand it a moment longer, and lucky for me they had a cancellation and took me in. I've seen several different people now at the women's clinic I've been going to, and the volunteer and nurse practitioner I saw yesterday were the perfect people - I mean they've all been great, but the nurse practitioner I saw the day I had it checked about a month ago when I was questioning how much it hurt and how it felt like I was constantly being pricked from the inside seemed a bit of a Mirena fan, and seemed to be telling me to give it more time, and her exam was more painful than when the Mirena was inserted. Removal was about as much fun as your average pap smear but I was so eager for it go I didn't care. I am irreverently thinking of it as my Mirena abortion (really sincere apologies to anyone that might offend).

Obviously a day isn't enough to say I'm back to normal - for one thing I can't believe that after bleeding for three months I'm now having even more bleeding, it's like I just started yet another period and I'm back onto overnight pads, but for one thing I can't believe that just sitting down is more comfortable. Wire "strings" might be flexible, but their absence is felt, every single moment, and again, not that there are any penises knocking, theoretically it doesn't feel as though it would hurt me or them to let one in. (Again, serious apologies if I'm offending anyone, but considering the subject matter that brought us here....)

I feel that I gave the silly thing a proper trial at three months, and I really feel for some of the women who posted above who didn't have such obvious problems at first and so it took time to connect the dots between the problems they were having. The nurse practitioner yesterday said that it's great for some women and for others it just isn't. Beforehand, and at the second appointment where I said I felt like I was having big doubts I felt like I was getting the message that it worked fantastically for about 95% of women, so I felt sort of reluctant to speak up and say that while I could live with a few months of bleeding if that was going to eventually resolve, I wasn't sure I could live with the feeling of internal needles poking me, and sound like a whiner when, you know, this apparent 95% of women... well clearly there are times we should all feel more comfortable trusting our instincts.

I wish all of you the very, very best, and I thank the person who started this page with all my heart.

Hi I had the mirena with all the same side effects as everyone else. I didn't realize it was the Mirena until I took it out and felt so much better. There was just something in my gut feeling telling me to take it out. So I know I shouldn't have done this, but I reached in there and tugged gently on the strings and it came out! No pain, nothing. Barely pulled and it was in my hands. I am so glad I took it out!!!

I am 50 and have never had children. Partner developed an irritation with condoms and the IUD was recommended as a good alternative. Even though menopause is around the corner, I still get my periods. I've had the IUD in for just over a week.

Insertion was only mildly uncomfortable, however, since then I've had constant bleeding, going through 5-6 pantiliners a day. I've also had bloating and very bad gas and constant cramping! Today I put on a pair of jeans that normally fit and they were uncomfortably snug around the waist!

We had intercourse last night for the first time since the IUD was out in. In the middle of the night I woke up with the WORST cramps. I was literally doubled over in pain. I took 500 mg of Tylenol which helped and today have returned to the gas, feeling bloated and crampy (but nothing like last night), headachy and just out of sorts.

The IUD was part of my annual wellness exam process (the good news is that under the ACA, the IUD is covered 100%). After my physical, I had the IUD appt, a mammogram, etc. The mammo came back with a bad spot and so I had a biopsy. I am now diagnosed with stage 0 DCIS - a form of breast cancer. The cells they found are hormone receptive, so I have contacted my gyno to see if I should have the IUD removed. I am reading that with any diagnoses of breast cancer, IUD's should be removed.

So my experience with the Mirena IUD has been short and not great. I also am facing a diagnoses of breast cancer, which has thankfully been caught early (ladies, get your mammograms on a regular basis!!). I wanted to document it in a public forum, even though my situation is a bit unique - but aren't they all?

I got my Mirena IUD inserted 1.5 years ago due to heavy bleeding to the point of hemoraging. Four weeks later I experienced a sudden case of Vertigo (floor was on the ceiling and I was spinning out of control) that occurred two times. Every since those two vertigo episodes, I have experienced a constant feeling of feeling off, not balanced, very dizzy, foggy head, trouble with my speech when the dizziness is really bad and irritability.I saw a neurologist who said I suffer from vestibular migraines and I saw an ENT who says I have a classic case of BBPV, Benign positional vertigo BUT it comes and goes. The only relief I have is when I go to sleep and in the mornings I'm usually ok but as the day goes on it gets worse. Stress brings it on. I stay away from sugar and caffeine and only have wine occasionally now as it will bring it on. Is it a coincidence that this dizziness and foggy brain/head symptoms came on 4 weeks after the IUD was inserted. Well I finally went to the doctor to have the IUD removed today to see if my symptoms subside but my IUD cannot be found!!??? I need a pelvic ultrasound to see where the thing is and then hopefully get it removed (maybe surgically asap). Has anyone else suffered from dizziness, foggy brain, feeling totally off while on the Mirena IUD? I am just shy of 50 and hormones may have something to do with my symptoms as I'm peri-menopause. I just want this thing out of me. My question is if the IUD is floating around in my pelvis somewhere, is the hormone from the IUD being released where it shouldn't be and maybe that's why I am so sick and suffering most of my days. Would love to hear from anyone who has similar issues. I will be so happy to get this thing out of me hoping they can find the thing.

I have to thank you all and primarily the creator of this blog for potentially saving my life, my happiness, my sanity, my confidence, my sex life, my thick hair, from pain, suffering, depression, the list goes on and on. I purchased Mirena was close to my appointment to have the insertion done, I do not have kids and am 32. I was hesitant and decided to do a little more research. Thank god that the TRUTH is out there and Big Pharma should be getting their asses kicked by it. Keep screaming the truth about Mirena ladies.

Your experiences are the saddest, scariest, most infuriating things I've ever read. We women suffer greatly.

Let's kill Mirena once and for all.

I just wanted to say thank you to all for posting their experiences! I got my mirena put in the spring of 2012 right before I left on a year long deployment overseas. The first two weeks after putting it in were misery but afterwards seemed to even out. I got mine put in because of my intense bleedings during my menstrual cycles and I didn't want to deal with it on this deployment.

Looking back I have always been moody but fast forward 2 years after having it put in and my mood changes severly in a flash. I am ALWAYS tired. When I got home from my deployment I had like a perma- UTI that would never go away. Sexual intercourse was incredibly painful and my stomach would cramp severely. I have NO interest in sex whatsoever anymore.

I went to a local OBGYN and he told me to go to yoga to fix my painful intercourse. Yoga. Can you believe that medical solution? He said that my bleeding or spotting was due to taking aspirin or other blood thinners and that my lack of interest in sex was normal. I just turned 25 so tell me again how that is normal?!

So he pretty much explained away all of my symptoms which left me thinking that I was being dramatic and that life and stress were causing me to feel this way. Lately I have found myself in this downward spiral of emotions that I can't control. I had an emotional melt down over literally nothing this week. My boyfriend has mentioned that it might be the IUD but I refused to believe it in the past. After my emotional melt down, I finally agreed to call the GYN that inserted it yesterday to talk to her about it. I didnt know that this blog existed and now that I have read everyone else's stories I finally believe my boyfriend that its the Mirena causing this. I never post on forums or blogs but I strongly believe in the experiences posted here so I thought I would share mine! I am incredibly thankful for them!

Wow, I didn't realize it was the Mirena that was causing all of these side effects that I have been experiencing until now. After reading theses posts I see that I am not alone. No sex drive, acne, hair loss, mood swings (severe). I am ging to schedule an appointment to have it removed immediately. I have had it in for two years, after I had a failed pregnancy and could no longer take the pill because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Thank you for this forum and sharing your stories, it has truly helped me.

I got the Mirena in 2007. I wanted to have a hysterectomy because I was having very heavy periods. My periods would last for months at a time. I lost so much blood I had to have a blood transfusion. My GP referred me to a GYN and I explained the problem and told her I wanted a hysterectomy because I had been dealing with heavy periods for some years. She suggested I try the Mirena. She said it was new and had no side effects. I agreed to try it. It was ok for the first year. After that I started getting depressed and my hair fell out. I am almost completely bald now. I have costant burning aching pain in the lower left abdomen and pain in my left side. I have become very moody and sometimes very angry and violent. I don't get out like I used to. I sleep all the time. I feel exhausted all the time. I have breast tenderness and sometimes I feel sharp pain in my breasts. I also started having problems swallowing. My GP said I had an infection. I informed her that I had the Mirena. She shook her head and said that it wasn't good. She prescribed me an antibiotic. It didn't work. I still have pain when I urinate and I feel pressure down there like something is going to fall out. I still have the Mirena but plan on removing it soon.

My first go around with the mirena IUD was in 2006 . No problems with it at all. In 2008, I had it removed because my husband and I wanted to start a family. After the removal we waited a couple cycles before trying to conceive. We got pregnant and miscarried a few months later. 6 months after that, we found out we were pregnant for the 2nd time and had a healthy baby girl. I decided after our 3rd child, to try the mirena again since I was fine with it the first go around. I had it inserted, and within week I had migraines that lasted DAYS- I tried changing my diet thinking thats what it could be, and then it occurred to me that it had to be the Mirena. Im still have migraines 2-3 x a week. Im getting it removed tomorrow.

I had my IUD put in as a compromise with my OB GYN. Since i am young, when i mentioned my intentions to go through a sterilization procedure he suggested Ihave the IUD for the 5 years to think about it, so it seemed a fair and reasonable compromise since I am in my early 20s. But here's the problem, Ihave a past hhistoryof anxiety and depression but because iIam always aware of my body iIcan recognize when my mood stability is slipping (and I don't take meds any more since my first pregnancy with my son) but ever since this IUD I'm freaked out at my behavior its shocking how fast my mood swings and what's worse, is my mischief toddler has an irritated short temper mom now, and i used to be peaceful and pleasant. Luckily i made an appointment with my family doctor and laid it out for him and told him my moods are so severe, my sex drive non existent, sharp pains again where I used to have an ovarian cyst, and basically I said "in a word, I've become a psychotic bitch" *insert some hysterical laughing from my doctor, not everyday he hears that confession* finally a light at the end of this nightmare called MIRENA, I speak to a specialist about the ssterilization procedure this august. This IUD just wrecks havoc on some ladies, deffinately not for everyone.

I had the Mirena IUD inserted days ago. I have 3 children and was sterilised after my last pregnancy. I am in early stages of the menopause so my GP recommended this IUD for HRT benefits. The morning after insertion I came out in itchy red hives all over my face/upper body. I have had abdominal pain which seems to be easing but I think I will ask my GP to remove this asap.

Hello im 43 and have had the mirena for 2 years, I cant believe how diferent my life has become. I feel like I'm going crazy, I have no control over my moods. Im angry, unreasonable and have mainly negative thoughts. My partner and I have only been together for 11 months and im sure he thinks im nuts. Other symptoms include cramping in my lower abdomen and down my legs, im freezing all the time, my heart races and my anxiety is all aver the place. I have always been a happy upbeat person, now all I want to do is hide in a corner somewhere and not see or talk to anyone. I have an appointment in july to see about having it removed and getting my tubes tied but I really dont think I can wait that long. I WANT THIS THING OUT OF ME!!!!! If your thinking of getting mirena....DONT!!!

Im a womens health nurse and after reading alot of these posts, i have to say that the Mirena is NOT responsible for alot of these side effects. The only thing that DOES happen is the amenorrhoea, which in some women is the desired effect. Mirena is proven to ONLY work inside the uterus, not systemically. so any other symptoms are due to something else ladies.

Omg, your story is almost exactly like mine while on mirena...but i was lucky enough to not have all those bad infections...the worst part for me was the beyond extrme chronic fatigue...so bad i was mostly bed bound/house bound...i couldnt handle any stress and also literally beat everyone...i felt like the worst mom, wife etc. ever...YOURE DEFINATLY NOT ALONE! (mine actually just came out today...hoping for the best) HUGS! :-)

I am a 43yr old mother of 1 (13yrs) and had the Mirena IUD placed last spring after starting a new relationship. Symptoms I experienced right away included weight gain (even with 3-4 day workouts and healthy eating) , acne on chest area, bloating, numbness in arms, feeling cold all the time, severe lower back pain near ovulation days, nil sex drive (dryness as well), and sleep that is never refreshing. I am normally a fit, confident woman who can handle just about anything and slept 8hours+every day.
By 6 months, things took a turn for the worse when I started getting anxious, irritable and had depressive tendencies. I couldn't remember things, couldn't focus and generally just felt like I was walking around in a fog. I would cry at a whim and had problems dealing with my family to the point where I felt embarrassed about my behaviour.
I reported all these things to my doctor thinking I was going into early menopause or something and never even thought about Mirena....I had blood tests done, thyroid checked and all came back normal. Needless to say I was referred for counselling and given prescription anti-depressants as a fix.
Thank you for your blog....I thought I was going crazy and am thankful for all the brave women out there who like me trust what their body is telling them and won't just accept drugs as a fix.
I have my appointment next week to have the IUD removed.....I know my body, and even if the doctor's don't agree...I know the Mirena IUD is not for me!

I had Mirena put in 2 1/2 years ago, shortly after having my son. My mom is on her 3rd Mirena IUD & shes always LOVED it. I had heard tons of other women talk about how much they loved it & how convenient it was so I figured WHY NOT! I had the Mirena put in which obviously isn't a fun experience but it was tolerable and I was on my way in a matter of minutes. I bled for what felt like forever afterwards. Once the bleeding finally stopped, I thought everything would be all uphill from there. Wrong. I still had my regular period for the first 6 months until my body finally "adjusted". Except..It never adjusted..Right at 6mos I noticed my urine started to smell really strong..As gross as that is, it was the first thing I noticed..Even my husband noticed it. Talk about embarassing..I thought it was b/c I wasnt drinking enough water but even after upping my water intake the smell never went away..At the same time I got INSANE acne. The worst acne I have ever had. Hormonal/cystic acne. It was so painful & so horrifying to see on my face & it was all over. I tried literally everything I could get my hands on. I even tried home remedies & NOTHING worked. Some things I tried actually seemed to make my face WORSE. I didnt even want to leave my house. I've had acne before, but it was just a small pimple here & there when I was on my period Shortly after that I noticed that not only was I having the strong urine smell but I also acquired a strange body odor smell down there too..which was equally as horrifying..From there the list only grew.. I began to feel moody & depressed..My libido fell through the floor. My period NEVER went away.. It was very light but never consistent. I was more irritable than I have ever been & it was EVERY DAY..I lacked energy to do anything. I was always tired & I developed horrible dark circles around my eyes. My skin was getting torn up from the acne & to top it all off, I gained almost 20 pounds & ALWAYS looked bloated. There's nothing worse than losing baby weight & then looking pregnant again without actually being pregnant. Nothing in my life changed and the weight just kept coming no matter what I did. The day that I had Mirena inserted I weighed 120lbs. The day I had it removed I weighed 137. I've had my mirena out for a week now & I already feel better. I had the Paragard put in, instead & I am praying with every ounce of my being that this will work out for me. The difference after having Mirena removed has been like night and day. I feel more and more like myself every day. I don't feel so foggy anymore and the irritability has subsided IMMENSELY. I'm hoping that I will continue to feel better from here. My face is still breaking out but hopefully with time that will diminish soon. I know that my body isn't going to return to normal over night but at least now I have some hope that it wont keep getting worse. I'm convinced that Mirena is the devil in a small T shaped plastic form. I wouldn't ever tell someone to not try it, only because everyone's body is different & I have personally seen women with it and they have 0 bad side effects. But if you start to feel weird, LISTEN to your body. I can't believe I left mine in for so long but I'm very glad that I finally got it out. Most of the side effects have already diminished. After reading literally HUNDREDS of horror stories with Mirena just like mine, I didn't even bother to try and talk to my gyno about the long list of reasons why I wanted it out. I simply told him I wanted it out because it was giving me acne worse than a teenager going through puberty. Oh & I almost forgot, Mirena also caused me to have overian cysts and Migraines for the first time in my life. NOT FUN.

My wife got a Mirena IUD and her experience was similar to many listed here, especially the feeling of depression, mistrust, and low self-esteem. My wife is a vibrant, up-beat, loving woman, and we have always had a good, faithful relationship. But Mirena totally messed with her emotionally. She will be the first to tell you that she went from loving life, to hating life, from enjoying her kids to resenting them, from feeling love from her husband, to feeling insecure and confused almost all the time. In her words, she said, "I feel like I am losing my mind. Am I crazy? Why am I so depressed?" Nothing I could do would cheer her up. She would just hang her head with the most depressed look on her face that I had NEVER seen before in 15 years of marriage. Finally, we decided it must be the Mirena. She had it removed, and she immediately started feeling better. Thankfully, she is back to her old self again! But we regret those years of pain, confusion, and frustration that really took a toll on our relationship and on our kids. "What happened to Mom?" I'll tell you: Mirena happened to Mom. If you feel like you are unusually depressed, anxious, afraid, confused, and insecure, it might be the Mirena. Strangely, the Mirena created a "fog" for my wife that made it hard for her to want to have it removed. It's almost like the emotional anxiety the hormones were causing made her feel afraid to have it taken out; it's like she couldn't see who she used to be. She was under the weird power of the hormones and blamed herself or me for everything rather than the IUD. Even friends and family members noticed that "something was wrong." Basically, Mirena made the normal struggles and downers of life into huge, depressing, looming problems. If you feel like a big FROWN has entered your life since Mirena, please know that you are not crazy, you are not losing your mind, you are not to blame, nor are the loved ones around you. The Mirena hormones are messing with you and making you feel like there is a problem in side you with now solution. There is a solution: have it removed.

I too have had complication from Mirena. I have decreased sex drive, painful sex, over 30 lb weight gain even with healthy eating and working out regularly. I feel pregnant and with this extra weight, I'm sure i look pregnant. I have even taken several tests to ensure that I am not. I have has suicidal thoughts and it is so troubling because I love my life and little family. I am extremely moody and over react to very small things. I was never like this before I had Mirena inserted. My husband has told me I am like a different person. I can tell he is hurt by my lack of desire for intimacy. I know I have been unfairly impatient with both him and my son. I am finally fed up and having this thing removed in 3 days. Can not wait for this crazy crap to end.

I lost my fiancé and love of my life 24 days ago. She shot herself in the side of the head while I wasn't home and I found her on our bed, but it was much to late by that point. She had got mirena this last May and had her first panic attack in July (anxiety had start in June), we kept working on it and fighting through it. By Sept. it was getting bad and she was starting to get very depressed. I started doing more research and found out about the Mirena side effects. We read and read and read and I told her we had to get it out. Which we did 17 days before she killed herself. We had been together for about 5.5 years and I had never seen anything like depression or anxiety from her the entire time. She was no longer my girl. I miss her more than words can describe and I personally feel the Mirena caused the depression and anxiety. Please be careful and don't put if off getting it removed if you are not feeling like yourself.

The biggest side effect I had was weight gain. The hormone, levonorgestrel, really captures a lot of water in the body. This causes weight increase. However, this is something I have managed to cope with.

I had my Mirena for about 3 years, and frankly, thought it was great. I had had pretty painful periods, and those stopped. I didn't notice any depression, anxiety as I've read in the above blogs. However, I had the Mirena for about a year, when I noticed I had painful joints. Sometimes I couldn't walk. I suffered with his for months before I was referred to a rheumatologist. He did a blood test and my SED Rate was over 1400. My Dr. said he'd never seen an inflammation marker that high ever in his practice. When I told him I had the Merena, he said, "Do you know how many women I've seen lately, newly discovered with Rhuematoid Arthritis, who have the Merena?" Well, that scared me, so I had it removed right away. I'm now on Methotrexate, a chemotherapy injection once a week, and a prescribed Nsaid, called 'Mobic', and some Vicodin when the pain gets unbearable. I'm still able to work full time, but I have no sick leave due to the time I need to take off from my RA symptoms. I just wanted other women to know about this. If you suddenly have joint pain, go in and have your SED rates checked, and get your Merena removed.
Thanks for reading. Shelly

My mirena has been wonderful about staying in place and preventing pregnancies. However, it's not without it's kinks. I do get constant cysts from it but they go away. The most recent side effect that had me worried and genuinely concerned was one particular month, about a week after my period, I got HAMMERED with stressed and paranoia. I normally get a bit stressed before or after my periods but it seems my IUD multiplied it by the nth degree. After it subsided, I wasn't sure what to think. And then the pattern was discovered. After another month of normal hormones, I felt an all too familiar feeling of stress. It started with build up. The littlest things would set me off and my stress level was building and building. I called it the "powder keg" because after the stress was at it's peak, it only took one "match" to make an inferno of paranoia. Just one set off. I took it out on my SO. Deep in the back of my mind I knew I loved and trusted him but my mind was being hijacked and clouded by paranoia. I began looking through his belongings and his phone. Of course I found nothing. And I know this is very childish. I confessed to him and apologized. (This was AFTER the episode was done)

But the stress was so bad that I wasn't eating for days. I lost ten pounds in just two weeks before the jacked up hormones left my body and my mind went back to normal. No literally, I would try and think about food and it wasn't appealing. My paranoia refused to let my body think about eating, even drinking. I got a bit ill. I knew this wasn't normal. After doing some research (and digging into common sense) there was no doubt that my IUD was the culprit of the toxic stress. Now me and my SO are looking into other alternatives. We're thinking about vasectomy. But I can't get this removed until we find another alt.

So to sum things up, yes my IUD stays in place and does it's job but it's being outweighed by the hormonal stress. I don't like going through it. It hurts badly. I never know when It'll happen again but I want it to stop.

I want people to know this and do their research before jumping to an IUD. It's not for everyone.

I have had my iud got 4 years.... And I'm very upset to know that everything I've been going through could be from my iud and that sucks because I could've fixed it years ago. I'm not going to type out all my symptoms because everyone else has. But as for the auto immune, they also wanted to test me for that. There is not one day that goes by that there isn't something wrong, maybe when I take it out, things will get better and I hope they do for all of you as well.

The nurse who said all of the side affects are from something other than the Mirena is full of complete and total CRAP!!!! She obviously doesn't use it!
I used Depo Provera prior to changing to the Mirena as I never had children and my OB/GYN said it would be too painful. Well, I was persistant and signed the release letter and had my firs one implanted almost 10 years ago. Prior to the insert, I had sex with my husband regularly and enjoyed it more than I had before. When I got the Mirena, I not only lost the desire, I got depressed, gained 30 pounds in 1.5 months..that's right, 1.5 months, got bacterial vaginosis....regularly, got acne...which I NEVER had and pretty much starting having sleeping issues. None of my co-workers wanted to work with me, my husband thought he did something wrong that made me turn my back to having sex with him. I even started having affairs because they are impersonal.
I had the first one removed and the second put in and nothing changed. I have been put on hormones and told I am going thru early menopause. I am now really thinking everything is due to having this piece of sXXt put in.
I will have it removed next week and demand my tubes be tied. I now know I was right all along and that the doctor and ARNP were wrong when they said it was all me and hormones. Yes...the hormones from the IUD.....I don't care what they say, this is more than a coincidence that at least 5000+ women have the same symptoms.
OB/GYN docs and nurses....start the tests over....it isn't all in our heads!!!!

I have hormonal acne since switching from HRT to an IUD (years ago). I'm 30, I was mortified by having acne at least half the month. My skin was greasy and disgusting after I stopped taking birth control pills; it had never been that way before. My dermatologist told me nothing would work. I looked for organic acne products online, and I started using Citrus Clear's control wash and moisturizer - and it was able to get the zits off my face in 3 days. Yes, I still have a few splotches here and there, and it does dry out your skin, but my skin has not been this clear in years. It dries out your skin a bit, but it is so worth it.

I thought my face would never be clear again after stopping HRT; I was wrong. I've only been using Citrus Clear for 3 weeks or so, but what a huge difference.

First of all, thank you to the creator of this blog, as well as to all of you for posting your comments and stories.
I opted to get the Mirena at the beginning of 2015 (so, really have only had it a few months) after my husband and I decided kids were not for us. I thought it would be the best option given I've had horrible luck in the past with birth control pills; my body doesn't react to them.
The doctor told me it's more for women that have already had children and that I may experience more pain than others, but she did not mention these other side effects. The pain during the insertion was awful, but not completely unmanageable. However, I have had nothing but problems ever since. I know it takes some time to "adjust," but this has been awful. I have not gone a single day without cramping or spotting, am on my second bacterial infection, have had horrible discharge and my sex drive has gone out the window. I seriously thought I was crazy; there's no way that this tiny thing could cause all of this, right?
I was already seriously considering having the Mirena removed, but think I have just been convinced.

Unknown said...

When "Googling" my blog name, I ran across concerns I had 8 months post insertion, in June of 2012.

All the issues that I complained about, were not a manifestation in my head (I had medical, mh and cognitive disabilities prior to Mirena but were made worse) . I was having PMDD like symptoms, horrible migraines that got worse and bleeding came back with horrific cramping. I was showing serious signs of stroking out and removed it myself (where I had some luck as it was easy to remove, but I would recommend usually having a doctor remove it, to be on safe side)

I removed it exactly 2 years ago. I did end up "Mirena Crashing" for about a year post removal. I won't ever be the same. And I did end up just having my tubes REMOVED. I wouldn't even have a ligation. Between gastric bypass complications and mirena, other than a dental filling, not another foreign item is being put in my body again.

I know better than to put my own issues on any population of people. I have friends and family who are on their 2nd devices. I couldn't go through something like that again, so it's worth hearing both what's good and horrible about any medical procedure...

My story began 10 plus years ago with the insertion of my first Mirena. I almost immediately began feeling depressed, fatigued, and anxious but blamed everyone and everything else. I struggled with not being able to sleep more than 5 hours at a time, but napping throughout the day. My family teases me to this day for sleeping so much. After 5 years, I was still clueless and inserted my second Mirena. This when things went from bad to worse. I became really depressed, distracted, unable to complete things, and began having panic attacks. This was so different that how I had functioning for 30 years, that I began to question my marriage, my job, and my friends. I left two jobs in this time, blaming them for my troubles. Walked away from three friends, and almost left my husband once. I was isolated from my family and my daughter would cry when I would have my frequent headaches that she wished her mommy would get better. Even after visits to the ER for what I feft where heart attacks only to be told maybe panic, and referrals to neurologists who wanted to me to get MRIs to rule out MS, I still did think it might be the Mirena. It was not until I began Accupuncture and Reiki as last ditch efforts to get rid of my migraines and go off my medications that I finally was told my "yin" was blocked. After several sessions, I began to feel better but it was short-lived each time. I did extensive research and concluded that my IUD was creating a blockage to my lymph system, causing all types of symptoms listed in this block, which I never linked with my depression, fatigue, and headaches. To name just a few, I had bad anxiety, moodiness, dizziness, muscle cramps, joint pain, back and neck stiffness, enlarged lymph nodes, no sex drive, frequent sinus infections, inability to focus, and a feeling of doom and gloom that last most of each day. After almost ten years with this thing, I finally ignored all the doctors that told me the symptoms were not linked to the Mirena and I went to NP and asked her to remove it. She was glad to do so and I am feeling more energy in the last 2 months than I have in ten years. My other symptoms are not going away yet, but they are decreasing. I will now research ways that I may be able to get my body balanced again as quickly as possible, but I am so frustrated that I did not listen to my gut instinct years ago. I do not want to even think about how much easier it would have been on everyone in my family, especially me!

Don't put that demoniac thing in your body! I'm 31 and had the mirena 3 months ago... I have lost myself! I feel bad all the time, plus insomnia, crambs, numbness, anxiety, sharp pelvic pain, fatigue... I have faught it with lot of exercise and the activities i love most but doesn't seem enough to get over the sense of voidness, rage and sadness. I was living my life with its normal issues and happy moments but this is crazy! If you haven't done it yet just don't do it and if you believed your doctor (like me) all of the "wonders" of the Mirena, take it off! I'm celebrating 'cause tomorrow i'm gonna get this thing out! Excuses for my writing, i speak spanish.

I'm the hubby......
We had a baby six months ago. Mirena installed five months ago.
Here my story and its happening Right Now...
She's in the emergencyroom becauseof excruciating pain, thinking it might be kidney stones...I found your blog...
the past five months she has been extremely mean, rude, name calling, screams at the dogs for stretching too loudly, wagging their tails too much. Often these outbusts wake the baby.
She is bipolar from it. And the Dr gave her pills for depression but they don't help one bit.
Lastnight I called her mom to come get this crazy psycho asap...Not Kidding one bit...
Three weeks ago we were searching for important paperwork. While I was Mid-Sentence she punched me square in the face!!!!! Ashamed of myself but I swung back as a reaction, and being from an abusive family its ingrained for survival...
Don't freak out I barely grazed her because she nearly knocked me out lol...

But seriously.... take out the damn IUD if you got one!!
Guys...She's not bipolar, your not a huge jerk, get it removed....
my wife might be leaving with my precious daughter because of this stupid thing. Not on a visit either, it might have destroyed our family. !!!!
I'll post a reply IF they actually find kidney stones...her gall bladder was removed three years ago btw..

A lot of you should NOT be on Mirena. You are not supposed to get on it unless you have had children. That's the reason a lot of you experience pain during sex or while it was inserted. And there is no way it causes depression in very many people. It has a very low amount of hormones.

I had a baby about 3 months ago and got the Depo shot. It caused me to be extremely emotional, moody, anxious, and depressed. My doctor said it would be good for me to be on the Mirena because of the low amount of hormones. Getting it put in took about 5 minutes tops and was a lot better than I thought it would be. It hurt a lot worse when I would tense up. My doctor kept telling me to wiggle my toes to relax. If you don't relax they have to use something to keep your cervix open, and it hurts.

Your body is naturally going to try and get rid of the Mirena. But if you are having emotional problems it could be a result of something physical. For example, the Mirena can cause cysts on the ovaries. That would make you pretty damn crabby. There's also conditions where your body will absorb the Mirena. Not trying to scare anyone because it's rare, but it happens. And those things could cause problems.

My story
We recently decided to have another child and having the mirena for 2.5 yrs was fine No problems. whatsoever. However It's been 2 weeks since I've had it out and I'm experiencing all these symptoms WITHOUT the mirena. Depression just overall restlessness. I've never been so inpatient. And just mean. Please help is this normal.

Oh please, you drama queens, the Mirena is safe, look for other causes of your kooky symptoms. ANd it is also safe in women that have had children.

Well...I just had my iud put in 2 wks ago. Today I started bleeding more than I ever did with my period. I also have cramps. I feel like something's not right. Not only is the bleeding heavy there is weird small stringy clots. I had to take my tampon out this afternoon cause it hurt so bad. Weird cause I'm not due for my period for another 2.5 week's. Also my legs ache kinda like flu body aches. After reading all of these blogs I'm feeling like this should be taken out tomorrow at my emergency Dr appointment.

LOVE IT, NO PAIN
My experience was totally the opposite, the actual state of fear going into this was bad. Everyone had such a bad experience than the actual reality of getting it done I laughed with relief once done.

The process took about five minutes from when I lay down to getting up.
Insertion didnt hurt (was uncomfortable of course but thats a given) and opening up the cervix caused ONE big cramp and THAT WAS IT!

I give thanks to my doctor who did it because she did a wonderful QUICK job and made the whole thing better.
Little bleeding over the next three days and alittle cramping and unease when first having sex for the first two times .
Periods have been next to none but with a few mean cramps every once and a while. But honestly this is the best choice I have made in so long. LOVE the IUD

ONE SHORT cramp when inserted
NO WEIGHT GAIN
NO BIG PERIODS
NO HASSEL for the next 5 years (pills, big periods, worrying about being pregnant , save money exct.)

Hectic - had mine inserted 2 wks ago and suddenly felt weirdly sad, tearful and low on energy, didn't want to go out and struggled to find the motivation to go running with my dog. Sex drive has zero'd and I get uncomfortable pains when my husband goes deep inside me, which I have never experienced during the last 17 yrs of sex. Since my sex life was the whole point of the thing being inserted, I have decided to get it out asap before things get much worse. Last night I was so angry I imagined getting a gun and shooting my husband in the head, which is not at all normal for me. I don't even eat meat, as think it is unkind to animals... of course I would never normally seriously consider killing my loved one or driving my car at insane speeds to vent my anger and inexplicable frustrations! I have also been having strange itching like a yeast infection and some unusual discharge. All in all, this whole experience seems even worse, and almost as expensive, as the horrors of abortion. I feel so bleak about the whole thing, I am considering sterilisation @ the age of 37. My friends all think I am crazy, as have no kids. But my body just wants to get pregnant regardless of how careful I am and I don't think I can go through another abortion or try any more uncomfortable birth control hormones. I like having a period and normal female hormones. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the world is so insane.... all of the birth control hormones women are taking these days?

I am here to give my testimony about a doctor who helped me in my life. I was infected with HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS in 2010, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution out so that my body can be okay. One day I was in the river side thinking where I can go to get solution. so a lady walked to me telling me why am I so sad and i open up all to her telling her my problem, she told me that she can help me out, she introduce me to a doctor who uses herbal medication to cure HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS and gave me his email, so i mail him. He told me all the things I need to do and also give me instructions to take, which I followed properly. Before I knew what is happening after two weeks the HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS that was in my body got vanished . so if you are also heart broken and also need a help, you can also email him at: dr.babaokadigbo@hotmail.com

I have had Mirena in for 5 days. It was incredibly painful to get inserted (I had scar tissue they had to get past and have not had a child). This is day 3 of vertigo, and I hadn't associated it with the Mirena since the hormones are supposed to be contained to the uterus. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm so dizzy and foggy...and can barely form sentences at times. I don't want to go through the extreme pain again, but I can't feel like this for more than a few days. I could cry right now :/

Hi there,

I got my mirena in last October, so it has been in a year and half. I just started noticing side effects, if that is even possible. I have severe mood swings, panic attacks, mild weight gain (6lbs) but not I'm attempting to lose weight and its not working.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced, having symptoms appear a year later?

Thanks for your help.

This is SOOO odd to me, reading all these stories. Here's mine....I've had my Mirena for almost 10 years now. my 1st one, I LOVED it!! I had major issues with the pill and i got the Mirena and lost 40lbs, didn't have a period for 7 years, and overall, just felt fantastic. I took up the sport of bodybuilding, which basically means, I build some muscles, and reduce my body fat. No, I'm not doing the true "bodybuilding" that you're all thinking here, pictures of Arnold coming to mind. Women's figure division-look it up! Anyway, I did my first competition last year, getting to 165lbs (I'm 5'10") and 13% body fat. So all is well, but about 6 months ago, I start getting periods. They're sporadic, I have the horrible cramping, etc. I HATE my period! Now I'm getting bouts of moodiness, depression, irritability, lack of interest in anything, EXHAUSTED all the time, sex drive is starting to diminish a little and my husband calls me a nymph...Lol! and the weight....omg it will NOT come off!! i'm the heaviest i've ever weighed (180lbs)and I'm trying to prep for a 2nd competition so I'm KILLING myself in the gym and sticking to a very strict, clean diet. I've lost 7lbs and 1.5% body fat in 5 months! Not normal for me!! So I'm thinking I have a thyroid issue. ALL my symptoms mirror hypothyroidism. I just met with an endocrinologist today who starts telling me, it's likely my Mirena! So that's how I stumbled on this page. I am amazed at how many other women have the exact same symptoms I do and some ladies, actually used the SAME verbiage that I just used with my endocrinologist!! I'm a bit shocked, like I said, no issues for almost 8 years (I'll hit the 10 year mark next summer) but now, all of a sudden, I'm experiencing so many of the same issues ladies here are describing, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to say, it's my Mirena! My thyroid tests came back normal!
I'm really happy I found this page and if anyone else is in the same boat as I am, having no issues for SOOOO many years until recently, you're NOT going crazy! After reading so many of these stories, and the rest of my blood work is coming back as normal, I think I've pinpointed the issue. I think it's time to go chat with my OB/GYN about a different method!!!
Thank you so much to everyone who have posted on this site!! You all have helped me tremendously!

What sites specifically are you referring to when you say

" did some internet research and came across forums of women who were having the same issues as me ! Some were more severe and they needed depression medications (which btw werent working). I decided that I needed to get this removed ASAP"?

Anonymous said...

I had a mirena for 5 years and it was removed 3 weeks ago. It never occurred to me that I began having an odd rash on my hands several months after getting the mirena. The rashes got really bad; violent itching, weeping and bloody sores on my hands and fingers; it was awful. I got a good dermatologist who was stumped by the rashes. He put me on oral steroids followed by a steroid cream that I used nightly for the next 4+ years. The rash never really went away until I had the mirena removed (after it expired). The rash stopped itching within one day and is now almost completely healed. Now, reviewing these posts, I had lots of other common symptoms too. In the past 5 years, I've been tested for Rhumatoid Arthritis, Lupus and several other autoimmune disorders due to how drained and terrible I've felt, but have not tested positive for anything. Depression too. I feel great now. Go figure.

My story seems similar to many women on here. I got it in last June and LOVED it! It was incredibly painful and I nearly passed out during the procedure, but after a few days, I was back to normal for the most part. Although I felt good and was happy with it, I felt like I could almost tell something was in there most of the time and it created some pain during sex. About a week after I got it, I had a migraine unlike anything I've ever felt before. It had me knocked down and crying for nearly 8 hours. After that, I gradually began to have ocular migraines where my vision would become spotty and I couldn't actually see very well. It started with 1 every few weeks and then eventually I could expect them a few times a week. They were painful and terrifying and lasted about 30 minutes. I began to have UTIs pretty frequently and I've never had them before. The final straw was the day I began to go numb. My fingers, face, and feet began to go numb. I did some research and found countless accounts of similar issues. I decided to go to the OBGYN to discuss it and even though I respect and love my doctor, he tried to tell me that it had to be something else. He asked if I wanted to have it removed and I did. Since then, I've had some similar symptoms, but have been told they'll eventually go away. It has been much better without it.

I got Mirena about 7 months ago and it took about a month for the cramps to stop. My relationship deteriorated and we broke up a couple months ago. Since then I have been doing EVERYTHING I can to get over the unbearable sadness. I've never experienced anything like it. People know me as an outgoing, happy, fun person. It came to a point a few weeks ago where I had to ask my friends to stop coming over. I had suspected the Mirena and now that I found his thread I'm sitting here bawling. As soon as financially possible I'll get the thing out.

Unknown said...

24 years old two months into having the mirena made the depression I had before worsen and turn suicidal when before depression could be taken care of easier and I had no desires to die. Now I wake up emotionless and have an endless tired feeling. I could sleep for days and still be tired. I feel too tired to function when before I was a insomniac. Spotting happens more and more, especially after sex, during sex and orgasims no longer can be reached. My boyfriend feels the rods also. I have a appointment they cancelled to check up on it but I will mention all these side effects. I also get cramps more often which is why I got this in the first place. I had heavy bleeding and painful cramps. It didn't help but made it worse

Dizziness is a feeling of being lightheaded or woozy. Disturbances of the brain, gastrointestinal system, vision, and the vestibular system of the inner ear are known causes of dizziness. People often refer to dizziness as vertigo, unsteadiness, or lightheadedness.

Omg!!! I am so glad I'm not the only one! I said I never felt like this except when I was pregnant. I realized it was the mirena after 3 years of drs. telling me I'm just nuts. I wonder if my hair will stop falling out, and if my male-pattern hair growth will stop after it is removed

Hi, I have been thinking a lot about how doctors say the hormones can't effect us versus how the IUD is affecting us. I think there are some things they are missing:

1) First, just because it's a small amount of hormone, doesn't mean it isn't affecting us in other parts of our bodies. It is.

2) Second, having or taking anything in/into our bodies does affect us, especially if it's intended to affect a part of us and if it's constant.

3) Third, and my most important thought: The IUD is tricking our bodies into thinking we're pregnant. Even if the hormones don't reach our brains or whatever, THIS is still going to affect us. The signals telling our body we're pregnant don't stop at the uterus. They become part of us, and it's not just our physical bodies that think we're pregnant. I think subconsciously (and sometimes not), we really do think we're pregnant. And imagine the repercussions of feeling pregnant and never getting a baby?

I used to want to adopt a child one day, but never have my own. I met a new guy I liked and around the same time, my doctor recommended the Mirena because of some period issues I was having. Suddenly I wanted to have his babies. SO bad! I chalked it up to approaching 30 and falling in love. But now, a couple years later, we have broken up and I still want to have his babies! The hardest part about breaking up with him was the desire to have his babies and the thought that I wouldn't be able to. And I understand how dumb it is to try to have kids with someone you know it won't work with. And now we're not even talking. It's not logical anymore. I am depressed as well, and have been feeling empty and confused on this whole new level the past couple years with him. I kept thinking, if only we were set up to have a baby, everything would be okay. This is not a normal thought for me! Though it is becoming normal, I guess.

Anyway, I worry that the pregnancy trickery the Mirena does is causing us to feel empty, creating a void in our lives that we can't fill, and feeling like it has no meaning. I wonder if this is happening subconsciously, causing all this emotional distress. I also wonder if this stress this has on our physical bodies is causing other ailments.

I still have the IUD by the way, because I have just recently started thinking these things, and because the reason I got it was cancer prevention. AND, I think, because if I'm wrong then it seems a waste of a thought-free and otherwise perfectly functional (for me) birth control.

Thanks for reading, and I'd love your thoughts. <3

Can A Strong Core Reduce… Even Eliminate Your Joint Pain?

You may have heard that a strong core is important for physical fitness.
Unfortunately, what you’ve heard probably starts and stops with your abs, so you get a “sexy,” ripped” six-pack. That practically guarantees joint pain.

Why?

If your core is weak, your joints compensate by bearing weight that your muscles can’t. Then target one muscle in particular and all the other weak muscles compensate, stressing your joints even more.
Sooner, rather than later, that stress leads to joint pain in a vicious, downward spiral.
What you probably haven’t heard is how a strong core can protect your joints, even end joint pain at the source.

Because your core is a system of 29 pairs of muscles.
But until now, this knowledge has been the exclusive professional secret of the very best sports doctors and physical therapists working for professional sports teams.

Most of us just don’t have access to doctors and physical therapists who know how to teach you to engage, activate and above all, balance your core muscles.
Quickly, without expensive equipment, complicated protocols, or spending several hours a day in physical therapy.

Until now, thanks to former NBA pro and chronic joint pain relief expert Jonathan Bender. Who has a gift for making the complicated. Simple and easy.

If you don’t want to suffer from joint pain any longer… or you want to escape it altogether, click to read “5 Ways Your Core Protects Your Joints.”

It’s already improving my life. I think it can do the same for you.

My 35 daughter has had all the symptoms listed by everyone above after getting her IUD 6 years ago. Additionally, 4 different doctors have been doing blood tests for the last 6 months saying that there was something wrong with her thyroid. Her levels were all over the place and not one of them could tell her what condition she had. 3 weeks ago a family friend said maybe it was her IUD so she immediately got it removed. She had an appointment with a thyroid specialist on Tuesday who said she her blood tests (4 of them) were like nothing she had ever seen, and ordered them again. Today, the doctor called and said all her levels were normal! For the first time in 6 years, since she got her IUD her hormone levels were normal! She asked if it could be because she had it removed, and the Dr said "probably not". Why do these doctors not realize this is problem!! Everyone needs to know that getting an IUD can cause small to severe issues!! Crazy!

I got mine 2 months ago. I am in hell mentally. I can't believe they didn't explain more, I was in for endometriosis related surgery. I researched all of that, but the gyno just casually mentioned she would be inserting a Mirena to stop my heavy periods, so I didn't think much of it as I have a pretty sexless life and have never needed hormonal contraception. OMG! Panic attacks, anger, frustration. This is NOT alright.

This is an informative post. Below is my personal story on how i permanently got cured from PCOS. I was diagnosed of PCOS due to my irregular period at the age of 17 and my mom too had pcos when she was my age, i had annoying hair growth and when i got married at 23 even after 7 years of marriage this caused me inability to conceive and have a child. I have tried several treatments ranging from doctors to pills to lotions to drugs and therapies but none worked as the annoying symptoms still persisted. I got to know about Dr Aleta's PCOS treatment which is a natural herbal medicine treatment which was finally able to cure me in a space of 3 months. Today i have two kids and happiness have been restored back to my home. never give up because there is a cure you can reach her personally on [aletedwin@gmail.com] for advise and information on how to get this medicine. Happy New year

I am an avid believer in the medical system and my doctor suggested Mirena. I'm 20 years old, birth control with no effort? Yes please.

I got it in, the first thing I noticed were the cramps, I never had had period cramps before this and these were stay-at-home cramps, only soothed by hot water bottles. But that only lasted the first 2 months.

Pain during sex started from day one and lasted 6 months. They were crippling, after and even during sex I would stop often to curl into a ball and cry kind of pain. Needless to say, my sex life took a blow.

Gradually increasing in intensity, I started developing mood swings. When I was growing up (11-13 years old) I had extreme mood swings directly linked to the food I was eating, it had come back. By the 4 month mark, if I ate a regular nutrigrain oat granola bar I would get the sugar high that would be expected of a small child having chugged a coke, exactly 30 minutes later I would be extremely angry or sad. This part never left until I removed Mirena. (I maintained an almost regular body size the whole time, I never weighed myself)

Month 2 to beyond removal, I began to have constant headaches from tenseness in my traps(muscle between neck and shoulders). I discounted this to a common problem my family has when we don't exercise enough.

By month 3, my default emotion was anger or sadness. Coming from a, previously, overwhelmingly happy girl who couldn't help but literally dance down sidewalks, this is saying something pretty drastic. I developed the beginnings of Bulimia for the next 4 months, talking to psychiatrists and finding help online. I felt like I was losing control of me, who I was. I was no longer happy, no longer trusting, no longer finding the energy to dance. I was angry at everyone. I would cry whenever alone, often times running and hidding because I could not control my emotions.

Month 6 is when things got really bad. By now, my mood swings had gotten drastic, I had stomach pains that felt like I was going to throw up regularly, and I began to have chronic pain.
I am a dancer, I always had sporadic knee pain(generally in sync with the weather) but nothing constant.
I developed knee pain at the start of the 6th month, within 2 weeks, it developed to piercing hip pain, I then developed back pain (specifically along my spine) and my trap muscle pain increased. All of these pains where caused by muscles that were so tense, they felt like bone. I tried physiotherapy, 2 months later, with no success, I was sent back being told it was not a muscle problem. I tried massage and active release. These actually made things worse because my body would react by becoming more tense and causing increased pressure on my head, giving me a larger headache.

Month 9, doctors suggest advil and more tests, none believe that any of the symptoms above can be correlated and that the only recent change to my body (my IUD) could be the cause.

Month 9, I go see a naturopath. He immediately tells me my IUD is the cause and problem. He gives me medicine that boosts my immune system and helps with my hypersensitivity.

Month 9, I remove my IUD after being convinced by the only medical professional who thinks it is the cause of pain.

Month 1 of recovery, I have the same chronic pain side effects, excruciating cramps during period, no longer have a tendency for bulimia but still extremely sad and angry.

Month 6 of recovery (now), I am back to my overwhelmingly happy self, only minor chronic pain occurs in the first few days of my period and that is it. Otherwise, my neck muscles are consistently always tight and cause minor headaches that are easily ignored.

I already have suffered from depression for a very long time after losing my infant daughter almost 13 yrs ago. I have a 14 yr old daughter from a previous relationship and my bf and I have a 2 yr old son with some issues of his own. We are not interested in having another one at all so we agreed on the mirena. That was almost 3 months ago and I am so irritable and unhappy. I have absolutely no patience for with of my children or my bf. I'm just so tired all the time and never want to be around anyone. I have gained almost 30 lbs since then and am so bloated I can't even hardly see my feet when I look down. Not to mention I went and bought myself many new clothes and none of them fit me now and are so small. I would appreciate advice from anyone on what to do.

Mirena changed my life as well. I have never had children and I dont plan on it. It was placed on April 21 2017. I do have a history of depression, anxiety, and migraines, but no one ever warned me that the depression could worsen! The migraines have improved drastically! Ever since 6/2/2017 i have not stopped crying, isolating, and being down on myself. I have kicked everyone out of my life and dont want to do anything or be anything. They suicidal thoughts have consumed me. Finally i called my doctor yesterday and though, they dont think all of this could be attributed to mirena, we decided to take it out today (6/27/17). I really wish this would have worked for me because the migraines were finally under control. But every day i was fighting to stay alive. If its not one thing, its always another :(

I'm 44 years old. I got my Mirena 02/2015. I was newly divorced and my doctor suggested Mirena for birth control. She told me my period would probably stop within two years and I could keep it in until menopause. Sounded great! I had no side effects, and my period was barely therw. But weight started to creep on. I just thought it was due to overeating. Over the last year I had been trying to lose 10 lbs for a trip. I restricted my diet and started working out vigorously at least 3 times a week. Couldn't lose an ounce. I just attributed it to middle age. Then I remembered that IUD. After much thought, I had it removed about two months ago. My periods are back to being heavy, but the weight is GONE. No effort. Make of it what you will.

I would agree with you, but...I have had 3. In that time, I never attributed 20#+ weight gain and severe allergies to it. This past year, after my 3rd was inserted, i started having health issues and was tested for several autoimmune disorders, with only a positive ANA, but no clear results. This summer, my vanigal wall felt like it was on fire and I literally had the urge to pull it out myself, yet I never thought it was the IUD. I went to the doctor with my annual last Tuesday. We decided to take my IUD out to see what my hormone levels are due to the fact I am 46 and just was over-the-top emotional, losing hair, and gaining weight (we eat a strict diet & exercise). Later that night, I felt different alreadyband couldn't describe what it was , but I was 100% sure it was from the IUD. I actually have a sex drive again.

Never in a million years would I have thought it was from the IUD, but it was. This little bugger is the devil.

At the end of the month, myblwvels will be checked and I will be getting an ablation and my tubes tires (Like I said, I'm 46 and done having kids).

I hope you never have issues, but then again, innever realized what it was doing to me until Tuesday....

Thank you for sharing your story. I went through your exact description of side effects. My mood would be normal and the slightest thing would trigger a huge reaction from me. And then a moment later I was normal. I felt like I was bi-polar but had only just become. I've had a heavy weight feeling on my chest like doom/hopelessness but was not going through any additional amounts of stress. My job I have loved I know dreaded. I had no desire for anything. Just wanted to go back to bed. I got my iud removed one week ago and I feel sooo much better! All those side effects I listed have almost all gone away! When I had it in I even entertained thoughts of suicide feeling like it was no big deal which is crazy for me to think those things because I had never thought them before! Since removing I haven't thought once about that. The anxiety is gone. The dread and hopelessness is gone. I have some mood swings but they have drastically reduced. My bloated feeling all the time is gone. Seriously the mirena iud should not be approved. And of course my dr. Said all those things were not related to the iud. Ridiculous.

Wow! Thank you everyone for posting on here... I had a crazy miscarriage after my copper IUD failed and so after they did the DNC I had the mirena put in. I thought my mood swings were just from coming down from the hormones of the miscarriage, but this year having it in I have had my first anxiety attacks and more severe depression than I have ever experienced before. It's like I'm a different person. Bloated all of the time, especially after sex and to top it off i haven't had my period, at all, since it went in, so 14 months now. I'm in europe right now and just cluing in that this could be where this crazy roller coaster my mind has been on this year could be coming from. My fiance is from here and I am just trying to figure out how to get it removed here. Honestly though, I'm really active (run, climb, hike, yoga, weights) and eat clean and my body is just staying swollen. I keep buying pregnancy tests because it feels like I must be pregnant all of the time.... Everything else I have read says it's one of the least hormonal optoins. The copper didn't do this to me, but after reading all of this I'm going to try and get it out as soon as possible. If anyone has any other birth control recommendations let me know. Thanks so much. Alida

I'm not a woman so I can't speak for the side effects or what you ladies are going through, but I can tell you what the man goes through. My wife had this put in 2 and half years ago after our third baby. She also had it in after our second baby. We have had some very bad times but also so good times. She is very moody to the point that the kids are afraid to even ask her stuff sometimes, other times she just fine. For me the husband ...gezz...where to start. I fell like I can't do anythi g right I walk on egg shells. Sometimes she fine other times she is off the chart and when she does get mad it will last for days with no end. Unreal how so.eone can stay mad that long over the smallest things. SEX....LOL...lord I don't know where to start. Well she does have somewhat of a sex drive but that only started after she got put on lexapro (spelled Wrong I'm sure) but she only wants it when she is horny. If she isn't horny and I try to have sex it's like having sex with a women who isn't even there. I women I'm telling you from a man's point of view we would rather please ourselves then have sex with a woman that you fell like isn't into you. It makes me fell like she only wants me for her needs which is maybe 3 times a month if that. And if we plan to have sex we have to go to be before 9 because she has to have her 10 hours of sleep. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON DAMN SLEEP..... I'm a understanding person we have been together since we where 16 I'm 37 I know my wife my best friend and it makes me mad when we fuss about this crap. I tell her that this shit isn't you. I have never felt like I'm not wanted and that she would rather sleep then take 20 to 30 minutes to be with her husband who works his ass off for her and the kids. I cook, do photography, deer mounts, play travel ball, coach baseball and football, and still I try to make time for my wife not to mention my regular job of shift work welder. If I worked 16 hours came home eat and took a shower I only have 6 hours before I'm back at work I would still not turn her down. I can let her sleep in to get her SLEEP and get up with the baby cook breakfast do my honey do list start so clothes and still go to work and that night try to get some and nope she is tired....
I'm also cleaning out the tube with hair. She doesn't feel sex at all which makes her question everything I do." Why you going to play ball want to get away from me so you can see some girl" " I wish you would show me the attention you show everythig else" i always feel as if im at a lose lose....im so happy you women have posted this stuff I will ask my to take it out.
Which will most likely cause a argument because she is going to say why is it me why isn't it you that is making me this way. Nothi g is worst then telling a women that she is that problem. So I don't i tell her this isn't you it has to be something else. Please let's go and try this

ALL THANKS TO DR WILLIAMS

his product is by far the best plan for treating fibroids naturally...the practical step by step instructions and the detailed information regarding the real cause and how to treat uterine fibroids were a real eye opener. I started dr williams medication after intense bleeding and pain which occurred during one of my rehearsals (I am a professional violinist).I was later that week diagnosed with 2 medium sized fibroids which placed an enormous pressure on my bladder. I was advised by 3 different doctors to undergo surgery to remove these fibroids as I was told that there was nothing I could do to shrink or stop their growth. Luckily, I ran into dr williams by accident as I was searching for information on the net regarding my condition. I was so relieved to have found that surgery was not always the answer, that it can be dangerous and that uterine fibroid can return even after surgical intervention. In less than 4 weeks of taking dr williams herbal portion and following his instruction, both of my fibroid had shrunk by 100% and the second ultrasound taken 7 weeks after I began taking dr williams medication, had shown that both of these were completely gone. I also my periods became regular. and now am three months old pregnant, you can contact his email address on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice and for his product.

I want to say truly thank you to everyone on here. I write this while balling my eyes out. Ive suffered from severe depression my whole life. I have had this in for 3 years and i thought i was going insane. I have an appointment to be diagnosed (now wrongly diagnosed) with bi-polar disorder. I have been angry and sad and crying so so much crying. Because I've always had depression i know hoe i act and when im getting bad. And progressively over the past 3 years i thought that there was no hope left. I've been so close to taking my own life. I love life and i love my family and my friends. But those of you who never had depression and the iud caused it. You can only imagine how horrific its been for someone who already had it, bad. I found this blod today and have already called to get it removed. I will get my life back and i will get through this. Thank you, thank you so much...

This thing is a nightmare!! I am in my 3rd month of mirena hell, ended up in the emergency from bleeding so badly. I feel tired, bloated, my right overy and hip area are in constant pain. Acne, (I am 48 and had flawless skin). Breast tenderness, agitated mood. My blood pressure is up. so I see a different obgyn because the Doctor the put it in could not get me in.he pretty much tells me I'm crazy, nothing on my list is from the iud. Ok so that's bull, but he refused to take it out.. so now I'm trying to get an appointment with the Doctor that put this in. It's like a conspiracy , nobody will fess up to the side effects or want to remove it.best part is at my appointment with the 2nd doctor. He could not locate it manually or by inside ultrasound. Now I have to wait 7 days to get an ultrasound to see where it is. I have had it . I am so frustrated and seriously hoping to get it out like yesterday soon

I don't know what to do. I had this IUD place on 5/10/2018. I have been to the hospital twice since then. Everything was fine. They placed it on the last day of my period which is usually the worst day with heavy flow and clots. It hurt like a beast going in but after it was in I was fine for the first 3 days. No cramps and no bleeding, like at all. Then I came home from work on Monday, ate dinner and started to get some cramping. After about 2 hours I was balled up in extreme pain on my right side. I was vomiting and had a fever so they told me to go to ER. Went to ER and they did CT scan to check to make sure it wasn't my appendix but I kept telling them the only thing that was changed was the IUD that had been placed. I feel horrible. I have nausea and vomiting almost day. The GYN said that none of my symptoms have anything to do with this IUD. I have a bad UTI, i have abdominal pain, sore throat, migraine headaches and just feel down right horrible right now. They keep telling me that it is in the perfect place and that nothing is wrong with the IUD, but I think that I am having a reaction to it and that is why I feel so horrible. I know that it has only been five days but I dont know if I can take any more of this. Any advice would be great?

Cecelia said...

I got Mirena in October of 2018,it's been almost 7 months with it in. The first 3 months were horrible. Every night right after 9:00pm I would start getting HORRIBLE cramps. It was very strange?? So horrible I would be crying almost vomiting every single night while on pain meds. As well I would be "spotting" every single day, some days full on bleeding, other days light spotting. Throughout the day I would get weird poking feels just on my left side.

Now after the 3 months I haven't had a single period or any kind of bleeding, but I do get random cramping for a week. The main issue though is the MOOD SWINGS and just overall how I feel. Everyday I feel tired and I'm always getting a proper night of rest, constant headaches, constant anger. I wake up so ANGRY, im so tired of of this pissy mood. How could I feel so much anger from NOTHING!?? I want to punch everyone I see, I want to curse and scream at everyone, I feel like a total nut case. I cry every night from being so frustrated due to this outrageous anger. And like everyone else said; I have no drive to do anything/no motivation. Im flunking my math, it's impossible for me to study with a constant headache and raging anger. Ahahahahaha it's just unbelievable, I feel so unwell mentally. I never felt such anger, I loved studying, I had such a drive to succeed with my studies (I'm 19 years old, I was never this lazy slob who screamed at any little thing.

My issue is I have PCOS. Before I was on any kind of birth control I would bleed for months and months. I've been on every kind of birth control, every one would either give me unbearable migraines, multiple yeast infections a MONTH, or like this one unbearable mood swings. This IUD is really my last resort so you can probably understand my frustration aha...

The most upsetting thing about this is if I get off the IUD will my mood change? I want to be happy, I want to feel normal again...I don't know if I'm myself right now, partly myself, or if it's just the birth control..I simply want to feel my own feelings, CONTROL my own feelings..it's so crazy I don't even know if I'm myself or not..

*As a side note: It was really nice reading everyone's comments, I'm so happy I'm not alone on this horrible roller coaster..

Katherine said...

Hey! I can't give you great advice cause of course every woman is different. But with me the first couple of weeks were HELL. I was dealing with the horrible cramps and nausea every day. It's seriously a lot to handle on a daily basis, if you think you can't take any more I would say follow your true gut feeling and remove it if that's what you want. Personally I decided to keep it in for 6 months and see. It did get a lot better but mood wise a LOT worse. Sure I have no cramping, periods and pain, but mentally I know I changed a lot.

I'm surprised they're telling you nothing's wrong with the IUD and brushing you off like that! Miagranes and headaches are a very common side affect due to the hormones being released. It very much could be this IUD is not for you, sadly it may take a couple months of torture to find out. in a week you might start feeling better, or it could take a couple of months. The rule of thumb though is if it doesn't get better after 6 months its not for you. Take it day by day and just weigh out the pros and cons, is it really worth not getting pregnant/bleeding dealing with the devil inside you.

Im wishing all the best for you�� sorry I can't give much advice again.

After some initial feelings of anxiety following inserton, the Mirena coil seemed like a great form of contraception however, after about 18 months I started suffering from bouts of depression. I'm a pretty positive person so this was a huge shock.
Having read this site, and researched many other forums, I went to see my doctor with a view of having it removed. The doctor wouldn't hear anything against the coil & put it down to my age (47) and possibly entering the peri-menaupause. She advised me against having the coil removed. After a further period of depression, often feeling spaced out/out of control, lack of libido/dryness & a return to periods (which had stopped for the first year and a half) I decided enough is enough. I had the coil removed and the difference was incredible, almost immediately. My periods are back to normal & I don't have any symptoms of peri-menopause or any of the afore-mentioned problems.
All I can say is, listen to your body & remember it's not in your doctor's interest to denounce Mirena. Pharmaceutical companies have too stronger hold on the medical profession.

Thank you ladies for all your stories. I am a 25 year old woman, having my Mirena inserted for almost 5 years now. My story did not start off very well, being diagnosed with acute Pelvic Inflammatory Disease not very long after the IUD insertion. I needed to take antibiotics and felt overall really bad. After the horror of the PID i was happy with the Mirena for some time, aside from the occasional painful sex and cramps. Then in de years after other side effects started creeping in... I developed recurring ovarian cysts of which a few ruptured, which sent me to the emergency room and hurt like hell. Furthermore my sex drive slowly decreased and is at 0 right now. Mood swings, depression and crying a lot have been part of my life for the past years and i even got some hairs that started popping up on my chin!! I have always suspected that Mirena was the cause of my many problems but since i did not take oral contraception very well i thought it was best to keep it in up to the full 5 years. After reading all of your stories I am so motivated to let it be taken out of me, i will schedule an appointment with my GP next thing in the morning! Good luck to all of you ladies out there and hopefully the Mirena will be improved or something because some of these stories and side effects are really unacceptable.

Mirena (and probably other hormones) should come with a warning that they can seriously mess with your head

They probably explain the soaring divorce rate

My wife wont even discuss the possibility that mirena causes her mood swings and anger, it just provokes another mood swing and suprise ANGER

treading on egg shells all the time - she shows a lot of symptoms of bipolar/ bpd I cannot rationlise with her at all. probably will be divorced soon

I am honestly shocked as I have read so many of these entries. I feel such a relief. For years I have felt totally crazy. I never once thought about my iud being the cause. I had the Mirena inserted in 2012. I had normal cramping afterwards but it went away and I thought it was the best thing ever! No worries! Well, when I think back over the years, I realize how altered my life became due to this great invention. I had always struggled with anxiety. An antidepressant always took care of it pretty well. My anxiety along with depression became worse. I got to the point where all I could do is stay in bed. It was a struggle to work, a struggle to take care of my family. Finally, my dr put me on aderal, not for ADD, but to help me function during the day. I guess you could say, it “saved” me. I had all the other symptoms everyone else has mentioned as well. 7 weeks ago, I had the Mirena iud replaced, since it had been 6 years. Yesterday, I had it removed. I have been a wreck the past few weeks. I couldn’t concentrate, it was hard to get dressed, my sleep diminished each night, until for the past 2 weeks, I have slept very few hours. I feel like a light bulb is on inside my body. I can’t focus or relax. I’m on edge every second. I’ve missed work because I can’t function and this feeling inside makes me crazy. I did not sleep at all again last night. My dr said it could take 48-72 hours before I could tell a difference. She told me she has only had 3 other patients to have severe side effects like mine. In her office I cried uncontrollably. I have also been very emotional the last few weeks. She just said I would be fine and let her know if removing the Mirena helps. Oh, and migraines. I went from maybe 2 each month to 10, during the last few years. No one can even imagine what my life has been like the past 6 years. I’m appalled doctors don’t give us REAL information on things we put into our bodies. I thought I had researched this product before I made a decision. But I know for a fact, I NEVER read, or was told, if you have had any issues with anxiety or depression pre-Mirena, you should not use it. I blame that on my doctor and nurse practitioners. I will be changing doctors.

Am Karen Romano from USA. After being in relationship for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the Great Matatan Spell, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4 pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful Great Matatan Spell who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email ( matatanspell@yahoo.com CALL/WHATS-APP:+233 20 926 0493 )
