Re: Are you ready for this???? Damn Mirena- Damn Doctor!! WARNING!!!!!!

Hi everyone I got my mirena put in Jan 08 and like I just read it was the most painful thing ever.  It felt like every night for a month at around 10pm at night when the hormones where releasing I would have severe cramps like I was in labour and having a child.  I called my DR and he said that my body was just trying to get use to the foreign object.  The paid has gone away but the acne is terrible.  I had smooth skin before and now I have plenty cyst that don't have a head and won't go away all over my arms, back, chest and face.  I was wondering why my hair was growing so long its the mirena.  The bad thing is I have hair all over my face like a man in places I have never had.  I am taking this out.  Lets not talk about the weight gain.  I am so withdrawn now until I no longer go out and socialize.  I guess you can call it depressed.  I read up on this iud before I put it in and no where on their offical website I have seen these problems as a side effect.  I am glad I joined this support group,,, I am angry tho.....   Tweet
