I have only had the Mirena implant for six months, but my sex drive is very low/close to nonexistent now, including the urge (or lack thereof) to masturbate. I have always had a strong sex drive, and even though my husband and I were having sex regularly over the years (we've been together for a long time), I would often masturbate sometimes as part of what we were doing together and other times apart from it. I wondered if my physical feelings might be different or perhaps increased if I masturbated, but they are not and whenever I do it now, I feel a lack of interest in completing the action either by myself or with my husband.
Additionally, I feel that I am moodier than before. I have always been somewhat on the moody side, but it does seem worse since this implant. I have not had my hormone levels checked, nor have I yet mentioned any of my concerns to my gynecologist, but I plan to do that.
