    Don't be fooled into thinking that because it is at the site that you will have less side effects.

    Totally agree Trill..

    I would never get it put it again. I loved it for a month or 2 and then BANG hormones, nasty nasty.. I was not myself.. it was horrific when DH told me later what i was like...

    DH and the snip is my way to go.. I am going to let my body for ONCE do what it should do naturally..

    Hey didispunk,

    Desperately trying to get back to Canada as well! This country isn't for me...it's been four years though...

    Loads of side effects with this thing--but not listed in the brochure--can't wait to get it out and let my body get back to normal as well. Over three years of pregnant, breastfeeding, miscarriages, pregnant again, breastfeeding...I need a break! And maybe the men can think about birth control for once. Hubby still wants another baby--"to try for a boy"--but I said only if we move back to Canada...!!!

    Hi
    The Mirena was supposed to lighten my AF and lessen my pain from Endo, but instead it has given me AF ever since I got it put in with a heavy bleed at AF time and pain 24/7.

    It was thought to reduce endo in the body cavity. I needed it to help me get rid of my endo, but it seems that I will have to do that with surgery. But before surgery I need to loose weight. I also have other health conditions to take into consideration to have the opp. I am starting to think that a total hysterectomy may be the best for me after this night mare.

    Some women this is good for (lucky them) but for me it hasn't been nice.

    Take care
    Chris

    widdly,

    Obviously I would say don't do it, but of course it's up to you and you may have no side effects at all! Just think about the side effects and if you are willing to live with them--if I read about potential hair loss, I wouldn't have got this stupid thing! Or the weight gain--it's been terrible. Ten days till I get it out...
