Re: I feel Like Im losing my mind!!!!!!

I'm glad you are taking action and getting the mirena out, that way, after a few months you can se if the symptoms improve. Since you had it in pretty shortly after the baby, thee might be some normal postpartum blues issues going on too -- so it would be hard for anyone to know exactly what was due to the mirena, and what was a due to a different reaction to the last birth -- but since I had my Mirena in last year, I believe that the mirena might have had a lot to do with it. Maybe the progesterone in the mirena never let you recover back to a non-pregnant hormone state - I'm not an endrocrinologist, so I don't know.

I do have the weight gain, loss of sex drive, fuzzy thinking and hair loss that many women complain about and I'm getting mine out. i hope your mood improves after the mirena is out. if it doesn't improve as much as you want -- please think about seeing a counselor and talking about whatever is bothering you. That always pulls me back when I am getting really down.

You are not a bad mother. Just bad hormones! Good luck. Tweet
