I had Mirena inserted 8 weeks ago and I have been miserable for the last 6 weeks. I have constant headaches, my stomach is so bloated I look like I am four months pregnant, my appetite has increased significantly, I have serious mood swings, grouchiness, irritability, crying and anger. I also developed acne and my hair has been falling out by the handfull. I am so fatigued and I just feel like crap (I also look like crap). I had my baby three months ago and before Mirena I was very upbeat and overjoyed because I just had my first girl after three boys. I honestly feel like I am in my third trimester all over again. Not to mention I had only one period since I had this thing inserted and with all these symptoms I felt compelled to get a pregnancy tests (thank goodness it came back negative). This has been horrible, I feel worse than I did when I was on Depo-provera. I made an appointment to have this thing removed in seven more days. Another symptom that I am having, that I didnt even realize was a symptom until I read these postings, pain in my knees when I work out. I have been working out six days a week for the last ten years (even through all four of my pregnancies)and I have never had pain in my joints before. I cant wait to get this thing removed. I should have just insisted on getting my tubes tied; my doctor talked me out of it and talked me into getting Mirena instead. Im wondering has anyone used the Copper IUD? I am considering that one since it does not release any horomones.
