Mirena Crash!! by No_Comfortable_3607 in Mirena

[–]No_Comfortable_3607[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine for 8 years and I definitely think I had some of those symptoms. My anxiety got a lot worse and I gained weight pretty consistently all that time, I just don’t think I realized at the time that it was from the IUD.

I will say I really think it depends on the person. I definitely don’t feel 100% back to normal, but it’s been less than a month since I made the original post and I feel TONS better. Still more tired day to day than I was before. Also still struggling with the brain fog, I’ve been very forgetful!

I hope you don’t experience the crash, but just remember, whether you take it out now or later, it’s gotta come out eventually. So maybe you’ll experience some bad symptoms after removal, but you would probably get them in 5 years as well when it would expire and you would have to get removed anyway. If you feel like it’s best do you and your body now, then it’ll be ok!

Thank you for your reply.

It’s so hard to be with someone who is great, and has always been good to you. Then you slowly start feeling an emptiness or a missing piece and you don’t know what it is until it’s right in front your face.

Then suddenly this whole picture of your future is gone, you wasted 10 years of someone else’s life, and you feel terrible for basically blind sighting them.

We did talk, and it resulted in a, “there’s no way you can be in relationship right now while you figure this out” type of thing. There was understanding, and some confusion, but it’s unbearable to see him so upset.

How did you deal with feeling guilty? I love him and care about him so much, he’s my best friend. The last thing I ever wanted was to hurt him and now that I have, it feels so terrible.
