my husband warned me too. i did not notice the symptoms as they came. i just got mine out last week. mirena put me into pre menopause. it is a t shaped shaped object in the uterus. have her google images of how it fits in there. now i know why if i exercised hard or did personal strenuous activitys why i spotted. i wish i had found this forum before i got mirena. it was too good to be true. i was told that hormones stay local to the uterus, no period, no remembering to take a pill. sounded like a ride at disneyland to me. do you realize doctors get kickbacks for every mirena inserted? do you know that the longer a female keeps mirena the more kickbacks they get? i got so suicidal i could not go into my kitchen because there were knives there. my husband and i did not have sex alot of times it hurt and my uterus would cramp up so bad that i could barely get out of bed. it was pure hell. i found out two weeks ago my husband was having an affair because i was not fun anymore. i was a mean, horrible person on mirena. i got my mirena removed 8 days ago and i feel like i am 18 again. please, if she does get it, watch for muscle aching, depression, mood swings, foggy thinking, sore joints,anxiety and etc. please listen to her if she gets mirena. i know you asked for good stories but i have to warn you. if i had only listened to my husband life would be better.
