I never had any side effects like that but am loving Mirena, you will too, once things settle down.

I am however getting itchiness much more often down there and that is side effect of Mirena, but i will have my tubes tieds mid next year, so i am hanging out for that. If i knew how great Mirena was i wouldn't have taken the pill for all those years.

I've had it for 18 months and now i hardly ever get AF, it is great.
