I was on the Mirena for a year and a half. I felt like I was bloated all the time kinda like you do before your period starts except this never stopped and I didn't have a period other than spotting ever once in a while. I also had numbness in my thigh and tingling at times. I had miagranes which I never had till I was on this birth control. I felt depressed and hopeless many days. I didn't want to do anything much except nap and when you have kids that's not an option. I gained almost 20 lbs while on this and could not lose weight no matter how hard I tried. So I was fed up and went this morning to my Dr and had it removed. It did not hurt at all, it was just uncomfortable of course. So hopefully I will start feeling better soon! I am looking forward to the future for the first time in a long time!
