Last time I had Mirena I had a love hate relationship with it. I loved my lack of period, I loved no pills, I loved no PMS. I spotted twice during the whole two years I had it. I hated that I lived in fear of being pregnant and not knowing. So I POAS every 30 days.
Well this time around I am not feeling the love. I HATE it. I am calling my OB when I get back and having him pull the goalie. If I am particularly active I spot. If DH and I have sex more than twice a week I spot. When I have my period I bleed heavily for four days and then spot for 10. I have. Choice of either ruining underwear or always wearing a pad because a panty liner isn't enough.
I am done, I hate this thing, rant over.
Re: Effing IUD...mini rant
Does this mean you are leaving me for the dark side too (read: pregnant side)? Us non-pregnant people are really going to be outnumbered.
I have the Mirena currently and still love it. I would have it removed if I had all of those issues...I want a 3rd. DS is busy but easy I hate the pill so I say what the hell why not? Now is as good a time as any. But I haven't joined the dark side yet!
I have heard several people complain recently of the same issues. I am scared of ever trying an IUD.
Good luck with pulling the goalie!
