Hi,
:-( It is amazing the number of women who have had alot of the same side effects may be only differing a little but the most common side effects seem to be Weight Gain and Moodiness and let me tell you I have had both. I have had mine in since May of 2005 and not very long thereafter I had gained 5 pounds and I exercise from 4 to 6 days a week and try to watch what I eat. Well now I am now about 10 pounds heavier after had losing 30 pounds prior to Mirena and I have had the mood swings from hell flying off the handle in a heart beat and that is not me. I never had that bad of mood swings being on the pill. I am supposed to get it out this Thursday just hope my OB/GYN does not call to cancel because I really want this thing out and be hormone free. Though now don't know what I will do about birth control. I am 40 and have two boys and not planning on any more kids. I guess I will figure it out. I will post after I get it out to let you know how I feel hopefully a lot happier and weighing less.
