Mirena Bad Side effects
70My Side Effects Whats yours!
Ok here goes I have posted on here once before when i first saw this site right after i had mine put in back in aug i think it was aug 23rd i got it in and i posted the next week. well i had stabing and poking pains where it was and you know how its in there pointed side down so they can pull it back out. Well guess what! I went for my follow up visit to check placement and they couldnt find the strings! I freaked out i thought it fell out so and i had been having sex and thought i was going to end up pregnate again which i dont want or need i already have 2 kids and a soon to be step daughter that agervates me beyond belief. So they did an x-ray and it was still there thats what the girl that did the x ray told me. So i went back to the room thinking that they could just go and get the strings and put them back where they need to be. WRONG! The dr comes in and says well its still there and then he proceaded to tell me the damn thing is UP SIDE DOWN!!! How in the hell does that happen?! I asked him if it would still work and he said yes cause of the hormones. Then i asked him if since the pointed side is up instead of down like it needs to be if it could rupture through my uterus and he said IT SHOULDNT! Ok now im thinking well it shouldnt have turned up side down, and now your telling me it shouldnt rupture through. So i preceaded to ask so when the time comes to get it out how are you going to get it out? He said "I dont Know" "Maybe it will flip back around to how it needs to be by then"
Ok thats not it. I stay up very late like right now its 3:30 in the morning and i havent slept yet and when i do sleep i can sleep all day long if my boyfriend doesnt make me get up. I am always tired and i have no energy. After i had my daughter i had alot of energy i had lost 90 pounds on my check up after having her the scale was 90 pounds less than what it was 4 months befor i got pregnate with her, so of course i had lots of energy. Then i got this put in and now im dragging ass so to speak. And now im wishing i would have gotten my tube tied instead.
I have hot flashes, i am always hot even when im out side and its like 30 degres out there now. I dont wear a coat just because i will start to sweat like i have been working out for hours.
Sex is VERY painful, put me into tears painful. I will take it as long as i can befor the pain is unbearable and i start to cry and sometime scream because i cant handle it. That is putting a real big strain on our relationship. Also to top this off i am Rapid Cycling Bi Polar. Im 23 years old my kids are 20 months and 4 months then my boyfriend has a 5 year old daughter and i loose my cool with her alot. My meds are not even able to controle this anymore. (and i take alot of them) My mood swings are not just aimed at her but towards my boyfriend who i have been with for 5 years and that girls mother and grandmother they get alot of my anger.
I have very rude out burst like i have terets or something i am not myself anymore by no means. I have turned into a mean person. but my kids i can keep my cool with them for the most part except when my son the oldest one starts throwing his fits that last for ever.
I cant concentrate at all and that is hurting my grades alot in college.
My house is not staying clean because i dont have the energy to get up and clean it and if i do i cant stay focused long enough to do it all (wich that could be related to my bi polar syndrom)
I dont want to have sex at all still.
I dont know if all of this has to do with my bi polar or if its the mirena.
I dont want it out because i dont want anymore kids and i dont have insurance to even go see if its still in my uterus. but i get bad stomach pains and i get really hot then very dizzy and start seeing black and purple spots and feel like i will pass out. My psorisis has broke out even worse.
I have started noticing joint pain.
Im not suisidal or anything but sometimes i go to bed hoping that i dont wake up in the morning and that could be bi polar getting bad but i really honestly dont know what to do. Because if i get it out i cant afford the pill which i wont remember to take, and i will need to get my tubes tied which i cant afford and dont know if i might want more kids when mine get older. But i AHHH!!! I just dont know what to do anymore. I would like to sue the pants off this stupid company cause of how i feel and they might have to do surgery to get it out which can ruin all chances of me having more babies forever.

After three years my back started to hurt, I hardly could walk, I got extreme pains in my uterus area. I went to the hospital and they found out there were cystes growing on my ovary and there were infections and abnormal tissue growth. This was according to my doctor a possible side effect caused by the Mirena moving in my uterus. I needed two operations and it's all gone now.
Mirena isn't always the solution for us women.
I have heard lots of horrible things about this product and i dont understand why they continue to market it as the best solution for women that dont want to get their tubes tied. Im waiting for the day i see them on the tv getting sued but its almost like someone has to die in order for them to do anything like that.
I've heard a lot of good things too. Like any medicine has it bad sides, Mirena has too. The best thing a woman can do is making sure she's well informed of all the aspects before she's getting the Mirena and when she already has one and feels anything different or is getting pains, warn the doctor immediatly like the instruction says.
that is true i mean it is keeping me from having more babies for the time being and i dont really have much pain its all the other things that i am experiancing that worry me and my dr keeps telling me it is normal and will soon go away but he has never seen a mirena turn up side down befor and that really worries me
THE ONLY BAD SIDE EFFECT I HAVE WITH MIRENA IS HAIR LOSS MY HAIR IS BEEN FALLING OUT LIKE CRAZY I DONT KNOW IF ANY OTHER MIRENA USERS HAVE TIS SAME SIDE EFFECT. MY HAIR HAS GOT SO THIN ITS SCARY I ONLY HAD MIRENA FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS KNOW AND I HOPE IT STOPS FALLING OUT SOON. I DONT WANT TO TAKE IT OUT BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO WASTE MONEY BT I HOPE IT STOPS. ANOTHER BAD THING IS WHEN I FIRST GOT IT PUT IN I WAS ON MY PERIOD FOR A WHOLE MONTH THAT SUCKED BUT KNOW ITS NORMAL. DOES ANYONE ELSE EXPIERENCE HAIR LOSS??
YES!!!! I have had hair loss and could not figure out what it was. My hair has always been thick even after I had my last daughter 2 years ago. I have had the mirena for almost a year and started realizing that my hair was thinning out about 6 months ago but did not know what was causing it. I thought it was a good idea to get because my husband and I have 2 young children. If I knew this was a side effect I would not have gotten it at all. My best friend has it also and her hair thinned out so bad that she had been seeing a dermatologist and getting shots in her head! They could not figure out what was causing the hair loss. We are both young women (28 years old). Other side affects that I have had and just told my husband about yesterday was that I felt like I am going crazy. I have no patience with my children, emotional all the time, bad thoughts, and I cannot concentrate on my school work at all. It's like I have a mental block and just cannot think. I am a 4.0 student but have been having so many problems lately. I found other posts where women said they have been losing their hair since Mirena. I called my doctor and made an appt to get this removed this week!!!! I am going to submit a report to the FDA also because this is not one of the listed side effects. Ladies please choose another form of birth control before you get Mirena!
So I have the same problem with the hair loss! Ive been on Mirena for almost two years now and love everything about it. Exept for the hair loss, my hair has been thinning for the past year and a half, I know it dosent have to do with my baby because shes almost two now. Ive went to my dermotologist a few times for blood work etc. The results were always negative. I went to countless hair doctors and was put on special shampoos. Nothing was working so I called a mirena hotline to ask if that was one of the side effects and was told that less then 5% of women experienced alopecia, another word for hair loss. I got my mirena removed today and will be waiting for results, hopefully this was the right choice to make..
i just got marena i have onlly had some crampin n i feel a metal block n dizziness but i just got it today....
Hey.. I feel you on the Terets syndrome! I am feeling like im ruining everything with my steady boyfriend. Also no Sex drive. Pain in stomach constantly. I have no energy. Dizzy. Hot flushes. Constant weight gain and cant lose at all. It awefull! Having mine removed in a week however so cant wait to see if it gets better.
i have had the mirena for 8 months now and i went to the dr a week ago and found out it's flipped upside down and they have to go through my belly button to get it out because i was preg with twins lost one and i also have a 2 yr old my daughter just turned 8 months and i have cervical cycsts so i know where most of you are comin from if they go in vaginally i have too much scar tissue they could ruin my chances of having kids again im 23 and scared shitless, but i hope for the better and good luck to you all

Hi,, I have the Mirena put in. I have had it for almowt a year now. I used to be on the Depo-Prover(sp) shot and it caused me ALL sorts of issues, well when my doc said that this had the same hormone I knew I shouldnt have done it. But I did, and Guess what , Its gettn took out and I am getting the Tubel lIgation done,. I am FAT..and I m moody alot and cant ever clean anymore., I have my good days and evertything is fine. But when I have my bad days. They are REALLY bad, Good Luck to all and if you dont want this just make sure you dont get a depo shot instead because it is the same, its even MORE concertated he told me..
I have had mirena in for 7 months now and i absolutely love it the bleeding in the beginning was rough but my cycle is back to normal now its low maintenance I have gained a little weight but that's the risk of taking hormones but I have one big problem its killing my sex life my husband can feel the actual device and when he cant the string irritates him!! HELP!!! Anyone had this experience?
