I had Mirena placed back in 9/07, six weeks after having my first child. I had a lot of pain and bleeding and discomfort for so long, but I just assumed that it was because I had also just had my first child and my body was just adjusting and getting back to normal. Eventually I stopped bleeding, but the discomfort never left. I have achy joints. I have pain during sex and sex is other wise very pleasurable but then a certain normal position will cause severe pain in my ovary. I am moody and intolerable. I am thinking so much about death and i feel so hopeless more often than not and panicky. I was simply attributing these feelings to being a mom. I was thinking that this is what motherhood is about. I am happy generally but every day is a constant battle with my sad emotion. I also have a lot of cramping but no period. Now recently, just the past few days, my left ovary has been in constant dull but distinct discomfort. I have also begun to experience some bloating and weight gain. and then last week i was showing my partner how my left hand was shaking uncontrollably. I made an appointment with my obgyn for 4 days from now, but now I feel that I need to see him sooner and get this out. I know this is my body, but how do i make it clear that i no longer feel that this is safe for me without having my personal feelings about my body under minded by his authoritative knowledge? I used to be on the pill and did not have any problems with it. i have been recommending Mirena to every woman i know and now i feel so sick to think that this is hurting women more than helping. I want another child and if this messes up my chances, I will be devastated.
