Hi I just got on this site for the first time. My sister was telling me about side effects from IUD's and I have Mirena. I had my third child in 06 and have not felt the same since. I thought maybe the whole thing was post partem Depression lasting for years. I do not feel horrible as some of you seem to feel but here are some things that are way different for me...I have turned in to a complete meanie.. always cranky and always wanting to yell at everyone and think they are all stupid. I sleep alot and stay tired. I am depressed super stressed and of all things have bad Acne again even with Proactiv on my side. Sometimes it hurts during sex and even though I had my first c section I hurt very bad to the point of doubling over when i sneeze or even get up too quickly?? I have no get up and go and drive to do or accomplish much of anythign and even wiht all of my beautiful 4 children (that includes my step son) I am never happy at all and rarely laugh real on the inside. My 2 year old is the only thing that makes me really smile and I love my family. Whch makes me sad and crybaby like sometimes.BUT I AM ALWAYS ANGRY for no reason!!! I do get way more aches and pains but attributed it to all the "too much sleeping". Hell even my dental health is gone.No cavity ever and now I have tons. And I had never gotten even remotely irritating headaches my whole life until after my 2 year old. I had the Mirena put in after a few weeks of giving birth.(no breastfeeding don't worry) It has been 2 years 3 months since having it in. Does all of this sound similar? I have One Mayjor concern. We are going through a rough custody case regarding my stepson and I do not want to go insane and become too out of it or ill once I get it removed but can't wait to get "ME" back. Will removing it be bad for me until after I am through the worst part of this custody??? What will I feel like to not have it in at first and how bad can it be? I am freaking out but wanna see if this stupid T was the cause of so mush stress and pain and depression. I knew somehting wasn't right but only am jsut now thinking for sure this is probably the cause. Can anyone answer any of these concerns...and symptom wonderings?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,312,656So sorry-- your experience sounds much like mine. I can't guarantee anything, but I have only had a few really bad days since getting the Mirena removed roughly a month ago. Some physical symptoms persist, but the mental ones (extreme anger, lassitude, irritability) seem to be lifting. I'd say go for it-- I had it 4 years and things got much worse the last year.

This is a reply to # 1,312,656all symptoms sound familiar to me too... the longer you have it in the worse it gets in my experience... post removal recovery has been very slow for me and some others on this board but most people recover pretty well.. it's your call but I wouldn't wait another day... make sure and get some supplements from the health store to get you through, I did st johns warts for the mood and evening primrose oil for PMS, I could really tell a difference when I stopped taking these few months post removal when I thought I was all better... I just started on some supplements again... see a naturopath if you have an opportunity, if not, just take extra good care of yourself, your body needs extra support...Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,312,656get it out now!!!! it is a manipulative piece of crap that IS causing these things for you. If you leave it further symptoms will develop. I was experencing very similar effects, and them suddenly it felt like it was going to kill me if it stayed in. If you check what else I have written you will see that It suddenly gets really bad in a short period of time. Don't wait, I just wish I had found all this info months ago.
my husband took mine out, because the doctors are very disbelieving and blarzae about the whole subject, and in our town they don't remove them.
In twelve hours I already have stopped snapping at every little thing and feel as though I have a brain again.

This is a reply to # 1,312,656I agree with the ladies, who have replied, get it out as soon as you can. I had mine during the most difficult time in my marriage where we were going to divorce, and I wish I had gotten it out. I would have been able to handle the stress much better than I did. I was put on Zoloft, during this period and in retrospect, don't think I would have needed it if I had not had the Mirena. You may handle the custody battle better without Mirena (but everyone is different, can't promise, sorry:-).
I have had mine removed since Friday, and I already feel clear headed and am not forgetting as much as I did with Mirena. Each day gets better and better, not perfect, but even the lows are better than they were last week.
Keep us posted, we are here to help each other. - Re: I need some questions answered? AngiePanj

We started our custody battle in october and will be going to court for the second time soon in Jan. We r going to have her (see I can't even think of the word) umm....mental health evaluation!!! Yea! She really is a crazy drug addicted person and I have sympothized with her alot but i have not always felt crazy just since having my baby and getting this thing put in. (we were somewhat friendly at one point)I seem to be most of the time just lazy and indifferent to anythign and everything.. and when I am not I am extrememly angry (like i want to hurt people but that makes me cry immediately after feeling like that too)I just need to know if these symptoms of the crash are long and really bad becasue like i said now I am ususlly just indifferent like i could care less for anyone or anything going on.. But i do get seriously anxious when it comes to the many stresses we have in our new family. I think i am just gonna pull it out myslef casue I can feel the strings.. we don't have much money and I do not work (of couse)I am jsut scared i will be much worse during a very important time in our custody case. I do not want to loose to her, she is unstable in every way and her love for him is more of a dependant on him for a reason to go on. She has problems but all in all i no longer care or have sympathy for someone so hateful. And though I am going insane on the inside, I know I am not me.(where as she has genetic mental problems) Should I wait and just be some super shitty and uncaring mom and wife or go through a serious crash and me ruin our case by pushing the love out of everyone? that is how i feel I am pushing everyones love for me,out of them. I should just get rid of it but am super scared is all

This is a reply to # 1,313,519Hi!
I posted my story on Saturday and just had my Mirena removed 30 minutes ago. I am planning to update under my original posting "My possible Mirena-related Symptoms". First, I'm pleased to say that both my Primary Dr. (male) on Monday and my Ob/Gyn (female) today, support my decision to have it removed and admit that all birth control has different effects on different people. I was pleased that I didn't receive the resistance as many other posters have.
The reason why I specifically replied to your posting is that I can completely relate to the anger. My 10-year old has told me several times in recent months that I need "anger management" help. Even my 6-year old asks me why I had to yell, when just telling him would work. It not just a short fuse or impatience, but I find myself saying very cruel things to the people I love most in this world. I am not doing this to hurt them, but I seem to have lost my sympathy and the ability to say things in a way that is appropriate. I have never had violent thoughts or have acted violently, but the mood swings and anger has gotten progressively worse over the last 6 months. I originally posted that I had this in for 3 1/2 years, but I miscalculated. I verified today that I had it put in in Oct 2006, so it's been 2 years and 2 months.
I'm planning to use a combination of supplements, dietary changes, exercise, and positive thinking to avoid a "crash" and to minimize side effects. While I believe everyone who posted very negative experiences post-removal, I'm going to hope for the best and move on...Good luck!
