Sexual person symptoms and conditions

FINALLY I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT INSANE!!!!!!!!!
I am 27 years and had my Mirena inserted 2 months after my son was born. It has been over a year and I feel so crappy at times I don't know how i get through the day. I have been feeling apprehensive about removing it and thought maybe all of these symptoms have nothing to do with Mirena. I feel dizzy at times like I am drunk, mood swings, my hair is thinning out, i look like I am 9mon pregnant especially when i am PMSing, and have gained weight around the middle section, I don't feel attractive anymore, i don't feel good wearing clothes I once looked good in and always have to wear girdles which do not always work. I have always had acne but now it is ten times worst. I was a very sexual person but now it sucks. It hurts sometimes and I am very dry down there and that is not like me. I have leg cramps every now and then. I am gassy constantly and bloated, which I thought was because of my acid reflux (which existed before mirena). My breast hurt and gets swollen, sometimes one even looks bigger than the next. I just basically feel like I am having an out of body experience and not in a good way. My boyfriend has been nagging me to remove it if I feel so bad, but I am sacred that if I do and the symptoms still persist then what. I have spoken to my gyn so many times about this and he keeps insisting it is not the mirena. He has recently sent me for some lab work related to my breast pain and prescribed some medication to dry out my breast milk, but I have decided against it. Now after reading this site, I definitely am not going to waste money doing this, I am just going to be adamant about it and go get it removed. To think I am a nurse I should know better but I guess I am a woman first. I AM HAPPY I DO NOT FEEL ALONE ANYMORE. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS THIS REMOVED AFTER ALL THOSE SYMPTOMS TELL ME HOW THINGS HAS CHANGED FOR YOU. PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE.

SINCERELY,
WANNA GET RID OF MIRENA IN THE VI

I have been on the ring for 2 months because I never could get adjusted to the pill's side effects even though they are supposed to disappear. I am sensitive to hormones and be nauseated even 6 months of taking the pill consistently even low dose. The NuvaRing made me nauseous only the first month and it is more convenient in the sense you do not have to remember every day to do something. One thing that has not disappeared yet and I am going on my third month: EXTREME BREAST SORENESS. I wake up every morning like what the hell?? They are so swollen. They look nice and full but I don't want anybody touching them. Overall, I am a very sexual person but this ring makes me have less desire. Then, sometimes all of a sudden out of nowhere I feel very nervous for up to 30 minutes (never had this before). My chest will tighten and I will sometimes be angry. This happens maybe every other or every few days...

Hi all! Thank you for posting your stories, otherwise I would think that I am going nuts and my doctor would probably agree with that diagnosis before admitting that this is not the thing for me!! I had my Mirena placed July '07, approx. 8 weeks after having my third child. My hair started falling out by the handful (which I attributed to giving birth recently, but this never happened with the other two). The strings poked my husband's penis everytime we had sex, which was painful and irritating for him. Intercourse is very painful for me! I bleed and have a sore uterus for days after sex or even a hard aerobic workout. I have absolutely no sex drive and I am a very sexual person normally. My stomach is unusually bloated and I can not lose weight regardless of how hard I am working out or how little I am eating. I do not have a period and couldn't tell you when my last one occurred. My doctor has been so stubborn about removing this thing! He keeps telling me to give it time. I can't find my strings and am having it removed this week. This must be one huge money machine, because the resistance to remove it has been crazy. I believe that the Dr.s must report every time they have to remove the Mirena prematurely and what the side effects are/were. Good luck ladies and just remember...this is YOUR body and you know when something is not right!

I've been on this pill since July 2007 and It's my first pill. My peroids are really short, which is good for me since I normally had them for 5 days or so. Since taking Loestrin I have been very emotional, deppressed, headaches. I've had sore breasts and I'm also very dry. The dryness is so bad that it makes me swollen, red and sore. I also get large amounts of distcharge. I had thought that I had an infection of some kind and started to treat it as one, however I came to the conclusion that it all happened after taking this pill. I am a very sexual person and the side-effects of this pill has made it really difficult for me & my boyfriend.

I've been using the NR for about a week or two now. I wasn't given a pamplet or even directions. Instead I recieved a sample from my GYN with little to no side effect information. I should have asked, but I was already asking a lot of questions about possibly losing it or having it fall out.
Well, I was dealing with heavy stress, constant crying over little things or nothing at all, total bi-polar syndrom or something! And when I cry, sometimes I cry hard enough to feel like I have asma or something. I can't breathe, and trying to do so makes me uncomfortably dizzy. I've been gaining weight, too! I was 115, now I'm 123. Though it's not much, looking at that extra weight in the mirror only causes more depression. Also, I've been feeling like I've had a yeast infection for a few days. But I KNEW it couldn't be. The symptoms were off. My discharge is as it should be, but the itching is intolerable. Then, the burning, painful sensation after sex was enough to drive any woman crazy! Now I'm too afraid to have sex, and I'm a very sexual person. My boyfriend is in complete disarray through it all and he has no idea what the hell is going on! I thought all this was simply results of moving out on my own for the first time, bills, not enough pay at my current job, hardly any food in the refridgerator, hardly seeing my family anymore. You know...the usual stress when you first leave the safety of your family and their money.
Then, I decided to check up online for the side effects or allergic reactions. I was sick and tired of not having the answers and waisting all the fluids I have on tears. I ran into this site, read most of the complaints and totally mirrored by all the same effects! Everything you all said sounded like I was reading something I had already felt and done. It's a real burden off my shoulders.
At this point, I can't handle more stress and hormonal inbalances. I already have too much on my plate. If side effects are truely supposed to stop in three months, I will continue on until I can't continue for that three month period. If nothing changes, I'm going to freaking rip this damn thing out of me and ask for another form of birth control! This is ridiculous! Thank you, all of you for finding the time to write out your symptoms. It's helped me out a lot!

I have been on nuvaring for about a month now and I have been having severe mood swings, I have been angry at the world. Every and anybody who gets in my way, my boyfriend and I were having the best relationship and now it seems like were going down because of this, my sex drive has been totally in hiding and I am a very sexual person. After reading the other testimonies I see that I am not alone and this is the problem. Can someone reccomend something better?
