Send Private Message To faithmom Send Email To faithmom I’m new at this so here goes. January of 2009 I had an Mirena IUD inserted. Yea...no more painful periods and no more birth control pills. I started noticing changes about one year later. Or so I thought. Weight gain (about 10-15 pounds), moody, acne, night sweats (I thought early menopause), numbness in my right arm and leg all the time, slight discharge with some odor, problems sleeping, nausea and the most awful pain in my lower right pelvic area. I’m 46 years old and thought I was falling apart with ”old age”. I’m very active and a pre-school teacher so down-time was not an option. Finally the pelvic pain became so severe that I went to my OB/Gyn. I have a cyst on my right ovary and my uterus is enlarges/swollen with the onset of endometriosis. Since I am done having children and do not want a period anymore...my doctor is doing a partial hysterectomy in a week. They do not seem to think it is due to Mirena but after reading all the blogs on this IUD I think it is to blame. I’ll keep you posted on the after affects of my surgery. I’m hoping to be pain free in a few months. Any advice from readers would be appreciated. |
