Hi, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto 2 years after getting Mirena. I decided to remove it as I read about the relationship between foreign objects in the body and autoimmune diseases. I asked my endo to measure my antibody levels in addition to my TSH each time I went for a follow up (Note: Synthroid does not effect antibody levels and antibody levels measure the degree of your thyroid attacking itself). Since removing my IUD my antibody levels continue to drop around 100 (points?) each time I go. I am convinced it was Mirena as I have done no other lifestyle changes.   [End]

Telling us more about your symptoms probably would provide clues--mood, fatigue/energy, immune system, gut issues, changes in intellectual abilities, dizziness and weakness vs athleticism, food sensitivities, etc. So may systems in the body are related, especially when you know hormones are involved.

It’s completely normal to lose your period after awhile if you have a Mirena. (After several months on the Mirena, I would have only light spotting every six weeks or so, never a normal period.) If the pregnancy tests have all been negative, then you are probably not pregnant. It sounds like you are experiencing side effects of Mirena messing up your hormones, which happened to a lot of women who have posted on this forum. My advice would be to have it removed and use another method of birth control, ideally something non-hormonal, and see if you feel any better. It can take months for you ...

I had the Mirena for three years and had it removed because of bad headaches, pins and needles in my hands and feet, lack of appetite, heart palpitations/racing heartbeat, insomnia, mood swings, and other symptoms of ”anxiety” (I don’t think it’s useful to call it anxiety as it was related to literally nothing going on in my life and I’d never had anxiety before, but whatever! ”Anxiety” is supposedly a confirmed side-effect of levonorgestrel, the progestin in Mirena ...

Hi EmilyJane, This is so important. I developed a whole host of neurological problems with the Skyla (mini Mirena). I am only two months post removal and have no idea what is going to happen to me! I hope you’re doing okay!   [End]

Hi Guys, I am in need of some SERIOUS reassurance. I had a Jaydess (baby Mirena) for 7 months. Five months in I started to develop symptoms like head pressure, severe headache, skin crawling, tinnitus, fatigue and weakness, foggy thinking, calf pain, blurred vision, breathing problems, muscle jerks and ”surges” in my head and chest. It took two months to get it taken out because noone believed me. Now, I am two months post removal. I was getting better and better (no longer get jerked from my sleep) but in the last two weeks it has gotten worse and I’m starting to feel really down and ...

It is most likely an allergy to something? Soaps ? Food ? Cosmetics ? Laundry detergent ? Underware ? Tampons ? Lubricant ? Most of the time, women aren’t allergic to all ingredients in tampons or pads. Tampons and pads are highly processed. They may have cotton or may have synthetic fibers, and all of those fibers are processed and sterilized with various chemicals. You may react to those chemicals or you may react to the fibers! Many possibilities ! WS   [End]

I see this thread is old but maybe I will get lucky. I have the same issue with swelling at the top inch and a half entrance to my vagina. Mine is without itching, odor, or any discharge. In fact, I never had any issues at all prior to this. I attempted intercourse and it felt like mounting a knife. That was followed by the urgency felt with a bladder infection. There are no other symptoms. There is no sting or pain when I urinate. I’m not sure how long I’ve had this but I know it is at least a few weeks now. My husband had health issues that left us obstaining from intercourse for quite s ...

I read you message about the problems from the Mirena. I am on my second one- not really having any major issues the first 5 years. However 2 years into my second one and I am having body regulation issues like hot and cold, can’t seem to eat many foods, joint and muscle pain, exhausted all the time, and fogginess. I have had my thyroid levels checked and all 3 doctors keep telling me all my bloodwork is notmal- it’s making me insane! Did you have any of these issues? I take no other medication other than the Progesterone on the Mirena and I eat healthy and exercise- but you wouldn’t kno ...

Oh dear, Shermee. I am very concerned about the nurse you mentioned. The word ”toxic” is a HUGE red flag that the person is a kook. This term is completely non-scientific in this context. As far as IUDs and unexpected symptoms go, there are two types of practitioners to beware of: Type 1, who memorizes the drug literature and interprets it as absolute, particularly when it comes to psychiatric symptoms; type 2, your total ”yes men” (or women) who spout off unverified nonsense. I hope you will consider what I’ve said and find yourself someone who has a healthy suspicion that there may b ...

Look into actinomycoses, or actinomycosis. Have your doctor specifically culture for that. It Is a bacteria specific to iuds that cause yeast to overgrow and is that’s why it’s missed. My doctor gave me clindamycin cream to treat it.   [End]

Yes i am having the exact same thing and the doctors keep telling me breast pain can happen sometimes before your period but this is after my period, if I get anything, as well. I am so confused and sometimes it really hurts a lot. I also have stopped wearing bras tried other kinds of bras and still no relief. My mammo and ultrasound were also normal. Would love to know what is going on and if it is mirena related.   [End]

Hi Don’t discourage people from reading someone’s creation. Reading a horror story needs a lot of guts. I don’t think you have that. It is very hard for a writer to write a horror story. Hats off to the writer! It is very easy to write a love story. Read that, it is better for you. Your milk teeth’s are not broken now. Sorry, but you must accept the truth that you fear a lot just from a story. I think this is the duty of the horror story to horrify you. I think the writer is to be credited for that. The writer performed his duty wisely in horrifying you. Hey, why the hell you get that bo ...

Ladies, I’ve already posted my personal Mirena story on CureZone; like many of you, getting the Mirena was the worst decision of my life - if I could go back and change one thing...it would be that. I told myself that if I find anything which helps (or cures) whatever it is that Mirena did to me, I would share it, in the hopes that it might also help my sister-sufferers. Although I’ve yet to find anything (except pain medication - which is ridiculously hard to get) that mitigates my myriad adverse Mirena side effects, which are both emotional and physiological, it did occur to me th ...

Hi, I am on my second Mirena coil implant and have recently been suffering with severe joint pain. I’m wondering if my problems could be related to my implant, however my husband feels it probably isn’t as I didn’t have any reaction to the first one. Up until now I have put the joint pain down to possible menopause onset as I’m turning 48 this year but after reading other people’s posts explaining their symptoms I’m even more convinced it could be the Mirena. Has anyone else been fine for the first implant but not the next? I’m currently awaiting blood test results. My doctor seemed baffle ...

I am a 16 year old the was thrown onto the IUD. the next day i had gotten it i woke up and immediently knew i was not the same person. it was as if i was PMSing 24/7 and couldn’t do anything about it. i had told my doctor and family but no one believed me. they said it was all in my head but i know im not crazy. my doctor said it takes 3-6 months to get used to it so obviously i kept it in for the bare minimum and after 3 awful months i took it out by myself. throughout this experience i had lost my boyfriend who i thought was the one but i couldn’t really blame him for leaving me. i had t ...

Hi, I understand it’s been close to 5 years since this message. I’m currently a Mirena crash victim myself and am going through the exact same symptoms, the worst being insomnia. I’m 43 and doctor expressed it’s perimenopause, but didn’t pay attention to my explanation on the Mirena and what it has caused in so many woman. So, antidepressants and sleep aid was prescribed. I haven’t taken any of that, hoping to be able to overcome this naturally with the right supplements and exercises. Question: How are you doing today? Did your insomnia go away? How long before you began to notice a ...

Hi this same thing happened to me today where I began bleeding profusely (super tamp every hour and soaking through pants with huge clogs). When I went to the doctor a few hours later they found my IUD in my vag instead of in my cervix. They said they were doing a pregnancy test to check all the boxes but I’m freaking out... were you able to confirm anything in your case? Would really appreciate any information!! Xx   [End]

I had a Mirena IUD inserted 7 months ago. After month 5, I had a horrible (left-side only) sinus infection, that moved on to become a horrible (left-side only) ear infection. An ENT doctor didn’t see anything wrong with my ears, but thought it might be a problem with the inner ear area. He gave me azithromycin which seemed to cure the problem. However, I still had severe ringing in my ears. It’s now 2 months later and the ear pain and pressure is back again. It feels like my ear is going to explode. It’s making it hard to concentrate or do anything. I am 47 years old and never had any ...

Hi... I was hoping someone could help... I have had my mirena for almost 6 years ( next month ). Planned parenthood told me at 5 years when I went to get a new one that it was extended for another year. So I left it in. So about 2 months ago, I started getting sore breasts. Then I realized they seemed bigger. I immediately thought I was pregnant. I went to planned parenthood and they said no I’m not pregnant, and nothing’s wrong. After a few more weeks, the pain in my breasts has been severe, to the point of me waking up in pain. They are definitely larger. So I made an apt with a ...
