I have had the Mirena IUD for 2 years. At first I did not have any side effects that were noticeable. In the last 8 months or so I have experienced bloating, weight gain, fatigue, and major skin problems on my face and back. The symptoms are progressively getting worse. I work out 5-6 days a week and have a good diet, but this does not help. I simply feel awefull. I have had several tests done and my doctor can find nothing wrong. I have been trying to research Mirena side effects, but can't seem to find any official information that confirms what I am feeling. I can't help but believe this is the problem. It is the only thing I have changed in the last 2 years. I am going to request that it be removed immediately.
