Hello,nice to meet you all.
I had my thyroids removed just over a year a go,I have had trouble getting the meds right but slowly getting there.
I had Mirena IUD removed a few months ago after having it over 4 years,(I had it to control heavy bleeding)I found out it was the cause of a lot of my medical problems,weight gain,cysts on my left ovary,breast lump,and my thyroid being removed,now I am trying to get my hormones sorted out after Mirena mucked them up totally.
I know some women do ok on mirena, I thought it was the best thing for the first few years until I realised what it was doing to me and then went to the doctor and got it out straight away,I feel much better now all though I havnt lost any weight yet,Im working on that,its very hard to get it off.
I gained 2 stone on mirena,before that I stayed at the same weight no matter what I ate all my life,never had a problem with weight,I look like Im 6 months pregnant because of the bloating and Im still depressed about my weight.
I go through the Mirena crash still, I hope it goes away real quick.
Any how if you are interested in reading my full story and that of other women with mirena problems and the horrific things(perforated Uterus,IUD lost in their body,tubal pregnancies,death,it goes on and on) that have happened to them ,have a look at my Mirena help site below...

Hi, I just had Mirena put in 2 days ago. I was in severe pain until this morning. The cramping was like labor pain, I called my Dr. twice, and he wanted to take it out. NO WAY! It was excrutiating to put in, and I didn't go through that for nothing.
One of the reasons we wanted this was to improve our relations as a couple. I'm excited to not have to constantly worry and use condoms. My main question is, will my husband feel it, and if so, will it hurt him? BTW I am a very small person, about 95 lbs. and 4'11".
Anyone who can respond will be so helpful.

Hi, I had mirena put in about 6 months ago. Not only have I gained weight but I have terrible mood swings also. My face is starting to break out and both my husband and I feel it during certain positions. I am also 4' 11". I want to have it taken out but I am so scared of what to expect. When I had it put in it was like was having contractions all over again.

Hi,It doesnt hurt at all to get Mirena out.
October 13, 2008 - 12:07amSome women have written to me to tell me their partner can feel the strings,and it is painful for them, they can be cut shorter and they do soften after a few months,but if they are cut shorter it may be harder to get the Mirena out.
good luck with it,Net
