Hi there,

I'm 28 and I've had the Mirena now for almost 2 months and it is a huge pain in the ... um... foot!!

I've had loads of things going wrong since i had it inserted..... terrible pain and heavy bleeding. I've also had continuous spotting (Ive only 5 good days in 2 months). I've had niggly headaches, lower back pain and a pregnant looking belly.

But has anyone else a 'foggy head'?? - I am just 'not with it' lately. I am forgetful .... and i dont really know how else to explain it??

i think i want it removed..... The mirena and I are just not connecting.

Also, the reason i had it put in was because i have a fibroid and i was told the mirena would shrink the fibroid. Anyone know if it works? I'm possibly wanting the Mirena out so will need another option for the fibroid. help in this regard too?

thx
