had my son Sept. 2007 and had my Mirena put in Jan. 2008. When I had my son I lost a lot of the weight and only had about 10 pounds to go, but than I got Mirena and since than I have gained over 15 pounds. I have not done anything differently food and exercise wise. I have never had weight problems and I am still really young (18) so I have no health problems. I have had a lot of symptoms in the course of the last 8 months. Very low/ to non existent s*x drive, depression and irritability and mood swings. Which all went away a week or two after I had my son and came back after I got Mirena. I've had a significant amount of weight gain and still gaining gradually, very dry skin and acne. I have rarely ever got acne growing up, so it's very unusual. I've had a noticeable amount of hair loss and have been very low on energy most of the days. I've been getting regular headaches and bad odor down there. I've taken meds and tried creams and nothing is helping it!!! I've never had this before.

I've had a few tests done and everything has come out normal. I am going insane. I know that something is not right. I've done some research on some of my symptoms and found some forums of every dya women talking about some of their symptoms and having Mirena and it's like reading my own story.

Could this be happening because of Mirena? I schedualed an appointment to have it taken out right away, but I know that the nurse will tell me that I'm just depressed and I'm not just depressed! I've been depressed before and this is not the same.

  1. Hey it could definitely be Mirena. My cousin has never had a baby and her OBGYN let her have Mirena anyway. She had REALLY bad side effects and finally realized it was the Mirena. If you really want an IUD maybe consider Paragard the hormone free copper IUD.  


  2. I can not even use birth control pills.  The c**p in them make me sick half the time.  But again the ENTIRE 9 months I was preggo I was sick.  I only gained 5 lbs.  I was a mess.  I would not ever get mirena.  I would consider that copper thing though.  I am trying to get my insurance to pay for it.  I feel bad for my husband, I am so scared about getting pregnant again, we only do the deed like one maybe two times a week.
