Side effects during: I had it placed to resolve heavy periods. during it being fitted I almost passed out, pain and cramps and when I got home diarrheoh came that evening and feeling sick. Then the bleeding lasted so long that i thought I had anemia. Dr gave me hormones and took a blood test which was normal. Then the suicidal thoughts came about the 8th week in. My moods had go so low I felt worthless and started to cry and couldnt stop. Went off sex all together. Pains in my back, cramps in womb, achy tired legs. Blaoted middle ,bras too tight, not sore boobs but red marks where bras appeared to cut into my flesh! A rise of 16lb of weight despite watching my diet. Needing to go to bed early. Having trouble wakening up. Stiff legs in morning. Dry eyes. Blurred eyesight. Zig zag migraines- visual ones. Skin the same to be honest. Hair much drier, loss of condition. Hairy chin! Trousers too tight. Constipation happening. Loss of sex drive. Advantages!! No blood clots and periods that immobilised me! And that was all. It did reduce them but its side effects ruined my enjoyment of no periods!! I asked for its removal after 7 months. I was anxious to be rid of it. It came out with ease. I went shopping that afternoon. I had normal activties the next day felt some cramps. Put a small towel on. Normal little bit of breakthrough bleeding. By then on day 2-3 , flooding began. Went upstairs to have shower and put pjs on and in shower, blood clots fell out of me, and were huge, bright red blood followed and I started to feel terrified. I put a tampon in and i flopped out after 10mins soiled and more clots came. I took nurofen and laid flat for an hour to try and abate it. Then the zig zag vision disturbance resumed. I had hoped it wouldnt. I dont know if mirena causedor exacerbated my symptoms . As on one hand it eventually reduces your bleeding but it isnt a cure all and have to weigh up what next? Didi do the right thing? Ami better off being bloated , moody but have no blood? Back to doctor for me tomorrow. I wont give up. I dont need contraception nowdue to partner sterlised but I need to be period and pain free. This is NOT normal i am housebound today and was yesterday . Cant even walk the dog as it could leak through but i coudl use some fresh air. Fed up. I was unable to log on as the pc screen was moving due to the zigzags vision field. Horrible horrible nasty Mirena....if i had surgery to microwave it off , I would be up and about by now
