Please give me the full details if you have tried it......good, bad and ugly. Had to break the news to my husband that I want to get on birth control, he didn't sound too happy.
It seems pretty split w mirena. Some like it while others hate it. I had it in for a year. I got it taken out jan 2011. We r ttc w no luck. While it was in i did NOT feel like my normal self. Sex drive totally disapeared and many other side effects. 2 days after i had it removed i bled VERY VERY VERY heave for 3 weeks. A few days i pretty much sat on the toilet because the blood was gushing out of me so fast. Sorry for tmi. However, no one told me these thjngs could happen. A woman on here had on the mirena move into her hip or chest. Educate ur self as much as possible b4 u get it, if u choose to. I suffer from heavy periods so the mirena helped lighten them alot... Which was the only good thing.
I have mirena and i just got it put in 3 weeks ago and so far i have no complaints. i have random spotting but its super light and i dont have cramps or anything. i didnt even think the proceedure was that bad. i also have 3 friends who have it and love it and they never get their periods anymore. i have also started my diet to lose the remaining 5lbs of baby weight and i have lost 10lbs since i got it so no weight gain either
I saw TOO many horror stories in the OB office to ever have that thing put in me. However, you can hear all the good and bad stories you like, but everyone reacts differently so there's no way to tell!
I have it sometimes I cramp up I got it in January so I still get periods but they are lasting longer for some reason but hey whatever ill take that over being pregnant right now lol!!! Its not bad though ....
Hate it had it for 3 months after a miscarriage in June of 08 and bleed the whole time and horrible cramps almost daily. Got it removed stopped bleeding same day and no more cramps and didn't get pregnant for 2 years don't know if that had any thing to do with the mirena or not tho
I've had it since January. Had it put in 2 weeks later I got a period that lasted 3 weeks and nothing since. I get a tiny bit of spotting if im a bit too rough in the bedroom and occasionally get cramping and lower back ache but its not bad
