Got off Depo and IUD last week. The result was awful! Got a big blood clot, it actually went though my jeans. Two days later had another blood clot. I will be scheduled for a hysterectomy next month. <br />When I was on IUD, my armpits smells and sweaty all the time. My weight stays almost the same. I had AWFUL mood swings! No sex drive. My hair started to thinning out. <br />I was very frustrated for the whole 7 months!

I NEVER had any weight issues before. I went down to 135-140 after my second baby. That was almost 3 years ago.. I've been very active ever since my 2nd rpegnancy, wnet to the gym regularly, have my own kickboxing trainer-STILL NOTHING.<br /><br /> I am 5'3, my "skinny weight" is around 115-120. From July 2012 to first week of september 2012 I went down from 180 (prenancy weight) down to 135 to 140. Extreme mood swings, EXCESSIVE weight gain, depression, fatigue, always angry.<br /> I have always been the happy-smiley-all-the-time type. Not on Mirena.<br /><br />NOW... I am bordering 180. HWAT. THE. F____. Right?<br /><br />Can't wait to get mine removed tomorrow. I can't take it anymore. having no period is like Christmas everyday,but I rather get my periods back.

I have just recently had my yearly exam and my mirena has been in for 5 yrs. well since I have had mine placed. I have developed what the doctors think is fibromyalgia. gluten sensitivity. I also have headaches a ton. cramps, bloating, mood swings, and horrible weight gain. I work out I eat right and nothing except depressing weight gain. I have chalked this all up to the fact that I was about to be fourty. I have never had belly fat. yep. I do now. and all over just feel pretty horrible on a daily basis. very tired. I do roller derby so I skate at least 4 hours a week and if you don't loose weight doing that then something is obviously wrong. so today I am having mine removed. praying that this is gonna make me feel better. wish me luckAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535434655029379778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502544039669161957.post-78852005317565909182014-04-02T09:41:58.749-07:002014-04-02T09:41:58.749-07:00Hello

And it's on me!! I apply deodorant 3 times a day and shower 2 times a day and it doesn't go away! I have never had a problem and I have had Mirena for almost 2 years. Is this a side affect? It's the only thing that I have changed about me, ever. Also, the acne on my face. Never in my life have I had that. Facial hair? Reading all of your comments has made me really think about what this is doing to my body. Using the Mirena for me wasn't really for preventing babies, however for making my period lighter and taking it away.. I was having it all of the time, for weeks at a time. In that aspect the Mirena has helped tremendously. Nothing I tried before had helped.. However, I have gained from 25-30 pounds in the 2 years since I had it put in. I have night sweats almost every night. I am sort of irritable and never thought it could be because of the Mirena. Of all of you women who have taken it out, really, do these symptoms go away? I want to stop smelling myself during the middle of the winter like it's 90 degrees.. If you all have had success with removing the Mirena and can tell me another way to mask the pain from my cycle, please share. I am open to suggestions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502544039669161957.post-38306226106294530242013-06-16T03:00:42.234-07:002013-06-16T03:00:42.234-07:00Not sure if peeps are still reading this...I got a...Not sure if peeps are still reading this...I got a Mirena 2 years ago. I was 54 and still terrible bleeding that just couldn't be controlled. I'm thankful that the Mitena stopped the bleeding, but I'm so fed up with the weight gain, as I had just lost 18kg, and the Mirena piled the weight back on in the first 6 months. I am wishing I could just get it out, but afraid of starting the bleeding thing all over again. My joints are really suffering with the extra weight, so it's a toss-up. But I'm really thinking I'll bite the bullet and get it out. I also have migraines for about a week amonth, so it would be good to get rid of them, too.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502544039669161957.post-87470536070742564252013-05-25T08:03:13.551-07:002013-05-25T08:03:13.551-07:00Had Mirena in for 5 weeks.

I also got nausea and went a bit loopy emotionally. 6 days after having it out I am back to normal. I actually wanted it out after 3 weeks but my Dr said to give it a chance. My sister has it in with no side effects which is why I gave it a go. If you suspect something isn't right, then get it out and see.

I had mine in for 2 years, but it was only a couple of weeks ago that I started researching the side effects. It just never occurred to me to do so before, as I was assured by the family planning clinic that the hormones would be completely localised and not enter my general bloodstream, I had never been on hormonal b/c before getting the Mirena. Well if something seems to good to be true then it probably is, as we are all discovering. <br /><br />One day a light suddenly went on in my mind, and I instinctively knew it must be the Mirena that was causing all my health problems, and hence my internet search and the discovery of thousands of women who have had problems with this device. My symptoms were similar to other peoples: Inexplicable weight gain no matter what I did/ate (I was so desperate I even tried the hypnotic gastro-band which of course did not work), sore heavy breasts that went up two sizes in two years, night sweats, strange smelling sweat/odour ‘down there’, foggy thinking, dry eyes, dry itchy skin, over-emotional, blotchy complexion and puffy face, random single growths of hair on my face, headaches, and probably other issues that I have missed out. <br /><br />Anyway, the reason for me writing this post is to let people know that these things are highly reversible. I had the device out 6 days ago, and I already feel a lot better. Within a couple of days, the foggy thinking had lifted, my stomach is already noticeably smaller, my face is more defined, the strange odours have gone away, my eyes are more comfortable and I just feel in a better mood generally. If you are reading this forum then I presume you are having side effects from the Mirena. Please do your self the biggest favour you will ever give yourself and have it removed ASAP.Gailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502544039669161957.post-47015460910220779262012-10-17T09:00:33.591-07:002012-10-17T09:00:33.591-07:00Okay...wish me the best.

Already having some major bleeding and no surprise my Dr. completely disagreed that my symptoms are related--which I respectfully said, "I knew you would disagree", but I still want it out. He did say that he and his female partner were having a disagreement about Mirena, just yesterday--she was more of the "these things are possible" side and he of course feels medically there is no way that I could be holding on to weight, losing hair, and not having a sex drive, etc. <br /><br />Any way, he didn't put me on a different form of birth control, says give it 6-8 weeks to let my body adjust and then we will look at medication. <br /><br />Here is to hoping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502544039669161957.post-11879274153324739012012-10-16T22:14:53.375-07:002012-10-16T22:14:53.375-07:00I didn't like the idea of something being up i...I didn't like the idea of something being up in me, especially something as weird looking as the mirena, lol.

I wasn't losing weight when I actually tried but I've noticed that I have lost lately and I eat what I want and stopped working out so I think it has to do with the fact that I'm breastfeeding mt 6 month old still.

I got some symptoms really bad (55 lbs unmovable weight gain, 5x increase in facial hair, uncontrollable acne, scattered unpredictable periods, big tell tale pooch, no will to have sex, unsociability), but did not get some other symptoms like I did not get the incessant bleeding, cramps/pain, lodged in uterus/cervix, palpitations, BV, or hair loss).<br /><br />I have always had problems sweating, but while on Mirena it has got so bad I have to take a towel with me everywhere, even to bed! Much worse in the last 2 years of it. I also had a rise in BP. My whole life it has been 115-120/70-80, and my readings while on mirena had people asking me if I knew it was high. Everyone said 'lose weight and it will go down' but I was this heavy a few year before Mirena with no change in BP. I am mortified because I can't get dates, a job, or even anyone to talk to me in a room or at a table because I look like a fat blob now :( . I had it out at Planned Parenthood 2 days ago, no bleeding yet. I had it out like 6 weeks early, they were asking me why I wanted it out so early, what the heck?? Why should they care when someone wants it out, shouldn't they just take it out if that's what someone wants? They also denied that the weight gain was anything to do with mirena. How ignorant they are!! I am 41.citychick27https://www.blogger.com/profile/07447050069164840498noreply@blogger.com
