This forum has been a real eye opener for me. I had the Mirena inserted March 2003. I experienced no problems until 2 years ago. So the first 3 years were great. I loved not having to worry about anything not even my periods. Then during the third year I started having abdominal cramping and lower back pain. During an ultrasound, my doc found an ovarian cysts. She removed the cysts, but that did not resolve my problems instead I started having more symptoms and a dozen blood tests later there is no answer to my symptoms. After reading everyone stories i think it is the IUD. I think my body doesn't process the hormones as fast as they are entering my body and my body has too much of the hormones from the IUD. I am scheduled to have the Mirena removed on Friday 4 months short of 5 years. My gyn asked if I wanted to have another one. I am not going to have the IUD replaced. I am going to go back to the pill and see if my symptoms go awayHopefully evrything will return to normal after Friday. I am still a little worried about the removal, but hopefully it will be as painless as the insertion.
I spent all weekend researching different BC options and found this site about the Mirena. the site lists 22 "possible" side effects. Well I am experiencing 15 of the 22. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100001706.html

This is a reply to # 1,040,920i would definitely not get it again. they don't have all of the possible side effects listed. i did get severly depressed about the whole time i had it in. along with other stuff. when the mid wife handed me a pamplet on the mirena and talking me into getting it, it didn't say anything about possibly becoming severely depressed nor any of the other problems i had.they just told me that if i started cramping or bleeding really bad to call. i was wondering what was wrong with me. i was rocking my baby very lightly on our bed one day and the whole room turned sidways and then turned back. really scared me. and that wasn't the only time. i saw the gyn months after that, and he talked me into giving it a little longer, i wish i would had just said no and to take it out. it really put a strain on my marriage and my relationship with my children. i didn't want to be around anyone because of how bad i felt, a lot of times i just wanted to die. but i feel so much better now, it didn't hurt at all when he took it out , just a little cramping like when it was put in. i hope you get to feeling better soon.
