I have had the Mirena for almost four years and I loved it. I have almost no period, weight has dropped off fine with diet and exercise, and no known symptoms except some minor breakouts every now and then. I have also been single and celibate for that entire time, so I haven't noticed any issues with my sex drive - until now!

I just became intimate with my boyfriend. I was shocked by the difference in my sex drive. He was hot, I was enjoying it, but I swear that I could not get turned on, as though I had twisted the faucet on the sink but no water came out. I was not nearly as sexually intense as I was four years ago just before I had the Mirena put in. I wanted to enjoy this so bad, but getting even slightly turned on required SO much effort! I'm hoping it was a bout of flu last week or maybe some diet / exercise issue, not the Mirena - but it very well could be as this thing does affect female hormone levels.
