I'm glad that many women have a good experience with women, but the ones who don't are experiencing some pretty awful things.

I never had any side affect or problems. No bloating no mood swings no wrong placement no nothing. I heard of the issues but I thank God I didn't have to experience them.

I was bloated the entire two months and I gained 7 pounds. It was ridiculous. I had it removed after giving it a couple months to see if the symptoms would go away. They didn't. It was terrible!Michelle Krzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844474785144998211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611795299401629728.post-6817044811243413032010-11-07T01:49:05.295-05:002010-11-07T01:49:05.295-05:00YAY!!

I can totally see where they say that the last 2 years cause divorce! <br /><br />A few months ago I ended up going to the ER for really bad stomach pain and they kept me. They couldn't decide whether the pain was from ovulation or the IUD. I'm gonna go with the Mirena, it was THE worst pain I've ever had. The doc leaned towards ovulation. (?) I haven't had anymore pain like that, but I do get cramps really bad. No periods though which is great. <br /><br />I'm glad your getting your out! It's insane how many side effects you have!Sheila Hickmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440547950861495156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611795299401629728.post-8868026693921717882010-11-06T23:25:14.708-04:002010-11-06T23:25:14.708-04:00Mine is inserted correctly and I hate it!

I don't ever want to do hormonal BC again, but I may have to. We'll see how this works out. I think before these 6 months are up, we're going to TTC. So there is a plus side to this.<br />Thanks for commenting.Heather Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448790639994293245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611795299401629728.post-71398436849949190652010-11-06T22:38:15.241-04:002010-11-06T22:38:15.241-04:00I got the Mirena about 6 weeks after my 2nd son.

I went on iron pills since the bleeding was "normal" They checked my blood every 8 weeks or so to keep track of my iron and a 10 months post Mirena insertion my bloodwork showed that I was pregnant! So the removed it and upon removal saw that it was improperly inserted to begin with. i love my 3rd son and dont regret it but it was a nightmare while i was on it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611795299401629728.post-27012604965816165422010-11-06T22:35:15.259-04:002010-11-06T22:35:15.259-04:00Thanks for sharing!

It is evil stuff and really, who knows what it will do to our bodies in the long run. Look into natural family planning. I have used it for a couple of years and it is great.Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016553715852916194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611795299401629728.post-13834465857848185852010-11-06T22:31:23.571-04:002010-11-06T22:31:23.571-04:00I'm so glad you have posted this!

It has it's draw backs though like any other type of birth control. If it wasn't for my horrendous cramping during my period or the fact I get UTI's so easily due to the use of condoms, I wouldn't be on a birth control at all.<br /><br />I've been on Seasonique for about 7 months now and I've gained about 15-20 lbs myself (not that I didn't need it) and I've actually had enough symptoms (they never stick around for more than a week or so) that I've taken pregnancy tests, which were negative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
