I’m sooooo grateful that I found this blog! I called this morning after reading some of these posts, and am getting this thing taken out in less than 48 hrs. I have the Mirena IUD, but have only had it for 4 ½ months. I got it put in when my second child was 6 weeks old, thinking it would be a good method until we wanted to have another baby (some day). For the last 3+ months my heart has been racing at night, I’ve had numbness in my hands and feet, anxiety, mood swings, headaches AND ovarian cysts! 2 months after getting it put in, I was in severe pain and got in to see my OB. They did an ultrasound and found that each ovary had a cyst. I have also had a foggy head and just don’t feel normal, that’s the best way to describe it. I pray that once this ‘thing’ is removed that I can get my life back and feel normal again. I have a 20 month old and a 6 month old and it makes me so mad that this ‘thing’ has caused me to lose precious time with my babies and not be the best mom that I can be. I hope that they will take it off the market and give us some sort of reimbursement for all of our pain and suffering. I can’t believe that doctor’s still recommend this thing, with all of these risk factors.
