Merina does anyone eles have these worries??

After I had my first child I got the merina bc put in and I still feel like I might get pregnant. I just have worries about it does anyone have this same problem tell me about your experince with it. Speechless smiley I need to know how effective it is from people that have it.

I just got merina, and I also been having side effects, I thought it was just me but I see now their is other people with the same worries. I have not change my diet and I was not gaining any weight but since I got Merina I have gain 15lbs in 3 months. Also I have been breaking out really bad this is not normal. I want to stop using this also I been having symptoms of being pregnant I really dont like this.

I just found this site... and it was in the weirdest, but best way. I have a new friend that was listening to my plight with depression, weight-gain, acne, and mood swings. I am currently on Lexapro(20mg), zantax, and adderall. I have reached my highest weight without being pregnant... etc.... blah, blah, blah.... She mentioned that her friend was on the merina IUD and was having the same problems -- and that after many Dr's apts... and deduction.. they realized that it was the device that was causing it. Now... this is my 3rd IUD. I cannot say that the first one was a problem... because I only had it for a year.. and I was only 30 at the time my daughter was born. BUT.... now that I am close to 40 and have had 2. I have been this blistering mess ever since. I NEVER would have thought it was due to this device. I am another of those people that cannot use the pill, so this was a great solution, and I have to admit that I love not having a period. I'm not having any more kids, and I wish I had my tubes tied when I had my son.. but I didn't so...... I'm gonna check into having it removed.

I just got merina on 11/11/08 I haven't had any side effects yet. But my husband informed me last night that something was scratching him in the middle of us making love. It was also uncomfortable for me when he penetrated deep, which has never been a problem for us in the past. Is this something that anyone else has experienced?

I hate it! I have had the merina for a little over 3 yrs. The only reason I still have it is b/c its so exsp to have removed and Im so over wieght that Im scared to get preg again! I havent been able to lose wieght at all from my last child, I eventually didnt have a period but had terrible pms, worse than b4. Then I just recently after about 2.5 yrs started get'n periods again. I have had 4 or 5 since this past Thanksgiving. I have servere ill mood swings all the time, just down right mean. Its getting bad. Oh, and to beat it all the last appt. I went to they said I know have cists on my ovaries, and the iud has shifted lower, I can now feel it poking me @ random times and its also painful during sex, my husband can feel it too @ times.
