Merina IUD Afterward Symptoms.

Please remember, when you had the Mirena you were giving your body a steady stream of hormones, and now it's not getting that. It has to have time to adjust back into its own sustaining rhythm.

A few things you could do to help with the balance is take a few supplements. Do you take vitamins? Right now a good b-complex vitamin could be of great help. Also taking an omega-3 supplement, preferably krill oil. Vitamins are one area where you certainly get what you pay for. So the bottle of 500 capsules for $5 is not going to do you any good. Go to your local health food store and talk to someone.

These won't be a miracle cure, but they will help with getting you some balance.

I was on the pill, problem free, for 15 years. I had a non-hormonal IUD placed almost 2 years ago. The first several months of not being on a hormone and letting my own body find it's balance was a roller coaster.

Be good to your body. Eat well, sleep well, exercise. This to shall pass.

I have ad my IUD for about 18 months now and am just starting to feel normal. My emotions were insane when I first got it and I felt so off balance. My doctor has suggested taking something for anxiety. I haven't started them yet but I think I am going to. I know they say the IUD can't mess with hormones like you've described but I've talked to a lot of Moms that have experienced the same things and my doctor has told me some women are effected so go check with yours and see if there is something you can do. :) Good Luck!

R., I was just about to post a similar question and saw yours on here. I got my Mirena out 3 weeks ago. I had it for about 3 years and decided, after my husband had a vasectomy, to have it removed as my periods are all over the place and I would like them to become regular again. I had also read that Mirena can contribute to acne and prevent weight loss, so I thought I may as well have it removed and see if it helps. The last 3 weeks, I have become more fatigued and emotional with each day. A few days ago I started to realize what a big problem it is becoming. I dozed off today while I was standing at the mirror putting on makeup, and I have been slurring some of my words, just due to sheer exhaustion. This is after a full 8 hours of sleep, mind you. I have been really snappy with the kids and I feel like I want to cry all the time. At first I thought maybe this was related to holiday stress or the winter blues, but I felt GREAT prior to the Mirena removal, so now I think maybe it is due to disruption of hormones. I don't really have any advice to offer, but I wanted to let you know I am having similar symptoms. I hope they pass soon!

R., instead of focusing on the IUD, you might want to consider a visit to your doctor and starting counseling. I recognize alot of what you describe because these issues have also affected me in the past. You can get past this but meds and counseling are key. It sounds as if you might have depression and a generalized anxiety disorder. Run, don't walk, to your family doctor and find yourself a good counselor. You don't have to live like this and you can get better!!!

I currently have Mirena and thought for a long time about whether or not to get it because of side effects, stories I had heard, etc. After talking with my midwife, I decided it was a good decision for me. I have had NO trouble so far. I have not had it removed yet either, though.

Yes, Mirena is giving your body a steady stream of hormones, BUT it is progesterone only and it is a smaller dose than you would get in the mini-pill. That's why it is okay to use while breastfeeding and will not dry up your milk supply. So, your body is adjusting, but it shouldn't be messing you up that much (IMO). I would check into things with a midwife/OB (whoever gave you the Mirena) to start, then see if you should see someone else about it.
