IF you enjoy pain, lack of a sex drive, swelling, and the such I would HIGHLY recommend the IUD to you. (JK) :)
The comments are this website have pretty much let you know that you should NOT get the IUD. Good luck w/your procedure

DO NOT GET IT,
you already have enough trouble, i dont think you need more or want more.
Yes in some cases it might help andf there are some woman on here who did good, but if you read thru all 20 pages , you will see that there is allout more of us who sayed it is bad than there is who sayed it is good.
ofcourse in the end it is your decision but you ask for what we think and i thin k you should not get it. i think it will make thinks only worse and not better, regardless what the DOC,s tell you. just read thru the forum and make your own mind up. iam sure all of this woman on here including me know what we went thru and none of it is good.
good luck to you and please keep us posed.

people with Depression are not recommended to have mirena, as it can make it much much worse. conversely you may find that some of your other symptoms that you already have MAY clear up, however, other people who have had Depression first, have just got a hell of a lot worse. you wont know till it's in, then it will be a bit late. I would also be cautious if you are asthmatic because one of the more rare side effects is breathlessness etc and i would think that would be the last thing you want to risk!! i had the mirena put in, and a polyp removed too. mirena was to stop me constantly bleeding due to a thickened uterus, but it was the worst mistake i could have made. i had no history of depression, bloating, Acne or anything else, except high cholesterol - i NOW know that people with high cholesterol are also not supposed to have mirena, presumably as it can thicken the blood and cause a blood clot. i didnt get the depression, but i got acne, left side body numbness and pain, migraines (never had one before), being the most serious. My advice would be that unless you REALLY need to try the mirena for medical reasons (not just birth control), then dont have it. If you do decide to try it, then get their agreement that they would be happy to take it out if you decide not to keep it at any future date. However, only you can make that choice. go to :-

Scroll down and read what others have said. May help in your decision. It's your choice but clearly you will see people wish they'd never done it. Good luck! :)

do "not" get it!!!!!

you're obviously going to get negative responses to your question on a forum that's for side effects. the women (and men) posting on this site are not happy with their mirena iuds!

however, there is a larger issue here and that is side effects of ALL birth control options that contain hormones. for an unbiased, truthful account of birth control options and risks, go to mercola.com and type in birth control in the search box. this doctor's got tons of good info you can rely on.

consider going natural. cervical mucus/basal temp monitoring has worked for me for 5 years. before that i was on different types of pills and depo provera and they all messed up my system and gave me eczema and gallstones. happy to say i have beautiful skin and no Gallstones today, thanks to curezone and dr. mercola!

after mirena was removed i could not make it across the parking lot. something was wrong with my legs and my lungs, i had been laughing alot but others have said something about shortness of breath.

there were alot of women posting here that use to be very happy and the mirena made them very depressed and moody, maybe it will have an opposite effect on a person thats all ready depressed and the nurese wants to find out for statistics

i was reading online a doctors list of complications and treatments and side effects to certain procedures and who survived and who got much worse.
