Hi, I am now almost 2 month post. I was feeling very depressed at around 10 days post removal and again at around 1 month for approx couple of days. Otherwise, I feel great! All my side effects are gone! My period was very heavy prior Mirena (changing the largest pads every 1/2hr to 1hr, hence I got it inserted)and is heavy now, though not nearly bad as it used to (one pad every 3-4hrs or longer on the heaviest day). I discovered that taking one Siberian Ginseng pill a day is enough to substantially decrease heavy flow almost instantly! Maybe you can give it a try! My hormones ar ...

I am glad that it helped you make your decision. I personally bought the fertility tracker while having Mirena. My cycles were so messed up, I was bleeding 3 weeks out of 4 and wanted to know if/when I am ovulating. I had bad side effects with Mirena from the day one (very painful insertion, then next day tingling and numbness in my right leg; a week after numbness in my right hand followed by numbness on the right side of the face/jaw and debilitating migraines. Soon I developed severe insomnia, and had constant lower abdominal pain and was bloated all the time. Then I developed pulsa ...

You can visit this website for more info: http://www.tubal.org/symptoms_of_pts.htm As far as the fertility monitor purchase, you can do it online at www.wholefamilyhealth.com or www.fertilitytracker.com. It costs about $40 (100X magnification and it is ~6” tall) and runs on AA battery. If you prefer a small, lipstic version (50X magnification),with a built in lens, you can also find it online for about $25 but once the microscope light stops working you basically have to buy the new unit/microscope.   [End]

You can buy a fertility tracker (i.e. a 50x or 100X magnifying microscope) and use your saliva to predict fertility days and the day of ovulation by tracking the ferning patterns. It is VERY accurate once you get used to it. A couple of days before the ovulation, you will see a cluster of chards and or some ferning and on the day of ovulation (and possibly a day after) a very dense ferning pattern. You abstain from the moment you see it or use condoms and up to three days after ovulation. For the rest of the time you’ll see dots only or scattered chards meaning you are infertile. This m ...

Brain fog often comes when there are problems/congestion with liver. You may try to do a liver detox or whole body detox.   [End]

Whenever you are taking antibiotics, make sure that you take probiotics , too (in form of pill, yogurt ...). That would eliminate most of the side effects caused by antibiotics.   [End]

I haven’t removed it yet, but I am considering it. I just got Mirena 2 months ago. After taking extra Mg and Potassium supplementation my tingling and numbness, along with a constant headaches dissapeared. I developed those symptoms in the very first week after the insertion and had them constantly for more than 1 month.   [End]

Always take Calcium with Magnesium (taking just Calcium without Magnesium can make more harm than good for your bones; up to 50% of your Magnesium is stored in bones, only 1% in the blood). Also, take Magnesium with Vitamin D to help in Calcium absorption by 5 times! Magnesium should also be taken with vitamin B6 to help with the absorption of Magnesium. The max RDA for Magnesium is 310mg (for females). The best sources are green veggies (spinach), black beans,nuts, seeds, whole grains, fish Halibut. The most distinctive signs of low Mg are unexplained ulcers in the mouth area. Also, ...

The website is: http://mirena-awareness.webs.com/researchsideeffects.html I started to search for the answers when I developed the numbness on the right side of my body (it travelled from the leg, to the arm and then to the right side of my face),with constant headaches and brain fog, all within the first 1.5 month after the insertion. It was a very scary experience. I am otherwise healthy and athletic person, never experienced anything like this before. I found the website above and took an extra dose of POTASSIUM and MAGNESIUM (on top of my daily multi-vitamin)and my symptoms dissa ...

Ladies, please take Pottasium and Magnesium supplements if you are having (or planning to have) Mirena to reduce many of the side effects! Research and Side Effects The Mirena has been known to cause a hormonal imbalance in many women. Initially, most women with Mirena, experiencing problems don’t realize what is causing them to feel so bad. But with research being done to explore the cause, some doctors are starting to find some answers. Effects of Levonorgestrel (synthetic for ...
