Hi all, I thought I was losing my mind. Mirena is awful! I had mine removed yesterday after only a few weeks. I felt better when I was pregnant! I have been bleeding since they inserted the darn thing! All I have wanted to do is sleep, my blood pressure shot up, I had horrible migraines, I broke out in acne on my face, back and the back of my arms, I had to wear a bigger size jeans because my belly was so bloated and I have not been able to keep anything down because I had morning sickness. And there is no way I'm pregnant. It's the stupid IUD.
I really thought I had lost it. I should have done better homework before having the Mirena put in. I had it removed yesterday and I am still gushing blood, apparently this is "normal" because of the drastic increase and decrease in the hormone levels. I am preparing myself for the "Mirena crash" I've heard about too... hopefully it won't be too bad because I did not have the IUD in that long.
When does this nightmare end? I want to feel like myself again.
