Hi everyone! I am so glad I found this site. I had mirena inserted I believe it was sometime in April 2011, shortly after my baby girl was born. She was my second child and both came a little premature, and the doctor basically told me I didn't need to have any more children, because next time I may not be so lucky. So I asked about Mirena and she set it up for me to have it "inserted." The cramping was nothing new for me as I had miserable cramping with my periods, the headaches-though more frequently-were also nothing new for me.
What is new,however, is my short temper, my no tolerance, the weight from my pregnancy never went away, even after breast feeding (which even after my first child was never a problem,I lost the weight quickly, I am a small framed girl and have never had weight issues), I am constantly bloated and look pregnant, tired alllll the time, my face breaks out, and that has never happened. I also have a hard time getting comfortable in the bed and wake up frequently to change position because my hips ache. I have never experienced achy hips before! What has me most concerned though is my new temperament, I feel annoyed and angry all the time, and it is hard for me to enjoy my husband or childrens company. I just want people to leave me alone and let me be. I don't feel depressed, just irritated and snap all the time. I feel so bad for my babies and I'm tired of being annoyed with my husband. Like I said these are new symptoms that started about 4 months ago, so just about a year after I first got Mirena. Even though I've never been a "sexual" person anyway, my sex-drive is completely non-existent!
Could these side effects just now be getting to me? Could I have just been strong enough to deal with them the first year and now my body can't fight it anymore? Or is this something else? Either way, I have an appointment with a different GYN on October 31st to get this thing out. About a month ago I started telling my mother in law that something was wrong with me and I felt "unbalanced." I told her I think it was the Mirena and after reading these forums I'm almost convinced it is. Unless it is just something else, but I'm 28 years old with a good life and Great God, so why would I be so hateful?
