All these posts are so helpful! I got Mirena IUD put in 6 months ago and so far have experienced hair loss (which I actually think might be tied to coming off my old birth control, Yasmin ... also thank god I had REALLY thick hair to begin with, so it's not that noticeable to others), mood swings (now starting to die down), and my sex drive TANKED. I'm 25 years old, never had kids and chose Mirena for it's lower hormone dose (even though I've had more problems ha!) and convenience. My sex drive is particularly noticeable as it used to be pretty high and now I never think about sex, crave it, and it's super difficult for me to get in the mood. Not to mention I don't get as wet anymore and sometimes the sex can be slightly painful.
I'm definitely considering getting it taken out. Has anyone had any luck with Paraguard? I'm done with hormonal birth control!
