My first week with Mirena went pretty good. No pain. Minor cramps for about 5 minutes total the whole week - not enough strong enough to bother taking an advil. My period stopped early and it was the shortest period I have had in years. Can I get a shout out? Woot Woot!
I joined a Facebook Group for Mirena Support, I think some people sure do have a lot of problems with Mirena but then again that can happen with any medical device/procedure/medicine, etc. That and you tend to hear the bad. I think people are more apt to not take the time to post a positive experience. Hey if things are going good most people just don't bother or think of it or get busy,etc.
Nevertheless I have no complaints so far. Today started Day 8 and I did have some very light spotting. I didn't have any liners handy so I used a light pad. I changed it a few times because I'm anal like that but honestly there wasn't much on it any of the times.
Some of the side effects that I have seen people post about include: weight gain, migraines, bloating, back pain, leg pain, arm pain, dizziness, and loss of sex drive. So far I have not experienced any of these. I feel for the people who do. I am sure there are a lot of people who don't experience any side effects. So far I am one of them.
So far, no complaints.
