I have had the mirena in for 5 years now. Before this I had the rod thing in your arm. For 5 years i haven't had a period. I didn't put on weight, or loose my hair like some others did. However my sex drive is ZERO, I'm moody, even a little depressed, and often i get pain in my abdomen during and after sex. I also feel tired all the time even though i have a healthy diet, exercise and get plenty of sleep each night.
My boyfriend of 2 years just told me last night that he is bored of our sex (or lack of). Im only 24 and i should be in the prime of my sexual life! For the past few years I've thought it was just apart of my makeup and that i just naturally had a low sex drive. Now I'm thinking it is because of this mirena that i have absolutely no sex drive at all. It was just by chance that I've stubbled onto this site and read EVERYONE else is feeling the same if not similar to how i feel.
I am due to get my mirena replaced next wednesday, but now i am strongly thinking otherwise. I haven't had kids and apparently you need surgery to get it removed which is very $$$. Im nervous about taking the pill as there are so many that make you gain weight, get depressed etc. so I'm not really sure what to do about contraceptive... Im certainly not ready for kids! ..... maybe just play it safe???
