"i have had my 2nd mirena iud removed not to get it again. i have had the mirena for 10 yrs. the moods swings were horrible, hair loss, i was tired all the time with anxiety, depression, weight gain (125lbs) that i could not shed with the iud, no sexual desire, vaginal dryness, yeast infections. you name it i had it. my doctor at the time would just tell me it was depression ( i was going thru a lot so i fell into &quot;this is my life now&quot; and went with what my doctor told me). we moved i was tired of being tired. i went to see another doctor and had my iud removed. i didn&#039;t need it my husband had a vasectomy 6yrs ago...i just loved having no periods. it was not worth all the other medical problems it brought. ladies please do your research!"
