Should i get my mirena OUT?

[LionsandBears]

I haven't had those symptoms, but used to lose my mind on the pill (very nasty mood swings). If it's making you that sick, I'd get it taken out ASAP.

I went off the pill in June 07 and used a combination of Fertility Planning (thermo-sympto method) with condoms/withdrawal successfully before TTC in May 09.

Any chance of DH getting the snip or would that be dependent on insurance too?

Hey Tash,

No luck in Dh getting the snip. He's ahem "too manly" for that kinda thing or so he thinks I have to do it.

I loved the whole 19 months that i was on it. It is the best contraceptive ever IMO, but it's started to bug me.

Nooo why no more little TDs running about? Hehe.

The wife of a man at work has SEVERE mood swings from something along those lines, im not too sure what mirena is but she had a rod insterted into her arm and pretty much wanted to kill this poor guy the whole time it was in there!!

Hope the nausea eases lovely lady x

My psychiatrist even said that we needed to get it out as it could make my depression worse or cause episodes.

But it is just so convenient

Mirena is an IUD which is inserted via the vagina and sits in the uterus. It is a great long term contraceptive.

No more TD's, sorry. I leave the breeding up to the younger generation. I've past my use by date

Ohh i see.

Not long until July (im hanging out for July to come too!)

Sorry im not much help lovey. I did learn something new tho!

Are you sure that you couldn't be pg? It probably wouldn't hurt to have a test done JIC the mirena has failed/worn off because those sound like pg symptoms to me. And if it isn't that, then it would be a good idea to take it out especially if your Dr thinks it could make your depression worse.

Bite your tongue Trill!

I just had my period a few days ago and had a preg blood test in late Jan, so there is no possibility.

I went to my GP today and got a referral to a gyno to get it removed.

Sadly, I can't handle it anymore.
