Re: Mirena side effects, PLEASE help?

Sorry to hear you're having problems. No one on this forum is surprised. Scan the posts here and you'll find you're not alone with all your side effects. It's expected that your periods would get lighter and possibly disappear altogether. I'm not sure what you mean by "lactating recently". Are you currently breastfeeding? You should be aware that the artificial hormone in the Mirena does become systemic and is found in women's breast milk. If you're breastfeeding, your baby is getting small doses of the artificial hormone, progestin. Educate yourself as much as possible so you can decide if it would be best for you to have it removed.
