Hello, I have had mirena in since April of 2011. I'm 22 and had our first baby in January so I figured that with my busy life and all mirena would be the best choice since its fool proof. However, I now wish I had done a lot more research before I got it. When the mirena was inserted I didn't have much pain, just a little cramping and pinching. Everything seemed to go fine until the end of Aug. when I started having sever nausea. It really felt like I was pregnant; same kind of nausea as when I had morning sickness. Then the stomach tenderness came soon after along with extreme exhaustion. I also had back sternum pain with all this. I went to my pcp and asked point blank if my mirena could be causing this. She said no. And so I took her word seeing how she should know since shes the medical professional and I'm not. But I knew that something was wrong with my body. So that's when all the tests started, too many to count and so much blood taken that it was crazy. About a month and a half ago I started having joint pain; every joint in my body aching when I get up or after sitting for a little while. No meds have helped. I've seen several different doctors and specialists and they all just keep telling me that the tests are normal!!! Well alright but something is wrong because I feel like I want to crawl in a hole and die I hurt so bad and my moods are ridiculous. Not to mention the migraines and head foginess I've had during all this. Its hard with all of this to act normal and spend the time with my daughter that I want to. I have now decided to have my mirena out because I really think it IS the reason all of this is happening seeing how I'm young and have never been a sick person
