Mirena Starting a New Job, Month and a Half, Sex Drive, Tv Internet, Dvd Player

Posted over a year ago

I had my Mirena removed a month and a half ago and I feel GREAT. I am a MOM again. My kids aren't afraid of me anymore which was the worst part of the side effects. I am starting a new job this week as a nurse (I got my license 2 weeks ago) and am GLAD that the Mirena will not affect my attitude at work. ... more »

I have noticed a huge difference at home. The sex drive is still non existent but it wasn't there very much even before Mirena. I am more willing to do more and be there more often. Things are so good, that I don't plop my kids in front of the TV so I can go off to my room or the table to be online. Tomorrow, I am calling Verizon so that they can shut off our TV, Internet, and Phone services. We have cell phones, the library has computers with internet access, and we have a DVD player attached to the TV.

I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

Mommyof2beauties - Did you have it removed to have another baby, or just sick of the side effects? I am getting the Paraguard which is hormone free. I must warn you on all IUD's and bc pills that they have been known to cause abortions. Google - do iuds cause abortions and do bc pills cause abortions-. I did find a lot more info about the IUD's and the BC pill causing abortions. For those who are against abortion, all of these IUD's cause abortions that the woman is not even aware of if a fertilized egg happens to make it through. This was explained by my doc and I did do further research on on the net. Here is a summary - Mirena and all bc pills and the depo have 3 mechanisms- 1) inhibiting ovulation 2)thickening the cervix mucous making it hard for sperm to travel to the egg, and 3)thinning and shriveling of the uterus to the point that it is unable or less able to facilitate the implantation of the fertilized egg. The first 2 mechanisms are contraceptive, the last is abortive. The Paraguard is only slightly different in that the copper disables the sperm, but again if one should make it past and fertilize an egg, the copper creates such a hostile environment that the egg can not attach. It does depend on your opinion on when life begins - whether it is at the moment of conception or when the fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. I am kinda sittin' on the fence with that idea so I am going with the paraguard and just going to deal with the heavy periods - anything is better than all those hormone that turn your life upside down. Back to the mechanisms -Only when all 3 mechanisms fail will you get pregnant, that is why they have such a high success rate of 99%. So again, google this if you want to know more because if you take any of these methods, you could potentially have an abortion and not even know it. Some Dr.'s will not even insert the IUD's for ethical reasons because they know it causes unknown abortions. You could end up having one once a month, once a year or luck out and never, but the risk is there. If you need proof of this you can call Dr. Sneider in Federal Way, WA at 253-944-6950 and ask if he does the Mirena or the Paraguard and you will be told he doesn't do either for ethical reasons. If you are serious about getting more information, I can forward it to you. Hormones are just driving me crazy and they don't belong in our body in way of chemicals, only the natural ones! I have a lot more to say about this becaue I am so upset about the info I have found but it is getting late. PASS THE WORD TO ANYONE YOU KNOW TO GOOGLE THIS INFO BEFORE THEY MAKE A DECISION.
