pregnancy after mirena - update
Not sure if this could help anyone wondering what to expect if they become pregnant after having bad Mirena side-effects, but thought I'd post what differences I notice with this pregnancy versus my other 2 pre-mirena pregnancies. My side effects with mirena were heart palpitations, panick attacks, anxiety, high blood pressure, dizziness and vertigo. I was back to about 90-95% better when I got pregnant at 1yr 3mo post-removal.
I'm 5 1/2 wks along now, and I've noticed that the remaining anxiety I had from mirena has pretty much gone away. Maybe it's the extra progesterone my body's producing? I have had some dizzy spells that have come and gone, different from the vertigo I'd get post-mirena. It's been manageable though, and hasn't happened for a couple days. More troubling is I've started getting heart palpitations again, and they are different than before. Like an extra heartbeat that I can feel, I think they call them PVC's? That started about 4 days ago. Went to the doctor and he said it's probably just the hormones, and he wasn't worried. Still no morning sickness yet.
That's all for now!
