It was great having no period, but not worth the side effects. The paraguard is a better IUD, except the periods are heavy but there are NO side effects. ... Read it

Elated that I'm not the only one with these problems!

By ReRe28 17 weeks 3 days ago | 1 Comment

OMG! I'm soooo glad I found this site! When reading this blog and the responses my jaw literally dropped. I never thought that my issues could possibly be from the IUD. I just had to call my husband and tell him what I have read. I have been experiencing most of the symptoms that most of you have encountered.

Mirena- Cysts, bloating and sore sore breasts

By AppleCore 21 weeks 1 day ago | 5 Comments

Hi!
I am 35 years old, have 2 kids and have been on the Mirena for four years. These past 6 months have been absolutely horrible. I am experiencing what I remember to be PMS symptoms- moody, bloated, very sore breasts, cramping- but no period. I love the fact that I haven't had a period in years, but my breasts hurt so much it is hard to wear a bra sometimes.

Looking for advice/opinions from Mirena users

By mumtotwo 18 weeks 2 days ago | 16 Comments

I am looking to hear from Mirena users as I would really like to get some advice/opinions.
I am 33 years old, and my doctor has advised that I do not have any more children.( I only have 2) I am okay with this as my last pregnancy was very difficult, and well delivery was worse.....luckily we both survived. It was a close call!

Mirena caused me to gain weight, hot flashes, moodiness and acne

By vannlee 37 weeks 12 hours ago | 6 Comments

I had the Mirena implanted 3 months after I had my daughter, she is now 9 mos old.  I made sure and researched it and saw the common side effects had a very low percentage on the Mirena website.  Plus I asked a coworker who just had her put in a few months prior and she claims to have no side effects.  I was not able to lose my baby weight and then I gained an addi

Mirena IUD caused unusual weight gain, horrible acne and depression/outbursts of anger

By peace2u 32 weeks 3 days ago | 0 Comments

Hi there--I'm 41 and a mom of two kids, 12 and 2.  I had my first IUD put in about 10 years ago and experienced no problems.  I can't remember the name but I had no pain but I don't remember NOT having a period.  I had it taken out about 1.5 years later because I wanted to get pregnant.  Six years later and after seven miscarriages, I had our second child.&nbs
