Since having the Mirena put into place, i have had nothing but problems, i thought it was just me until i started reading these postings. I just got back test results from my dr. that indicate i now have systs.. something i did not have any problems with until after this damn thing was put in. Under the impression of the dr. that this truly was the best option for me! Ha if i knew then what i know now i would have told him exactly where he could shove that thing and pardon me for saying so but it WOULDNT BE IN ME RIGHT NOW! I have had such severe pains over the last month, pains that make me wish i was going through another 48 hours of hard labor instead!! I have been bounced around from one anti-depressant to another, none of them do me ny good, i have gained weight since being on this awful thing, not feeling good about myself for one minute.. and you wanna talk about mood swings? i have a daughter who will be turning 4 in july, and a fiancee who will be my husband also in july,,, i am worried so badly that my engagement will not happen if this keeps up, i snap so quickly at everything, and i couldnt have a good day right now if my life depended on it!! Something has to be done i am thinking of going in on monday morning and having this damn thing removed for good because i can no longer handle this ......there is so much more then just my health at risk here, but now i feel somewhat better knowing that i am not the "only one" ya know? and i can tell the doctors that i am 100% sure of whats going on right now because it's not just "in my head" So i will say Thank You for making me realize that im not alone....
