Okay, so I wanna talk about this Mirena thing and whether it messes with your sex drive. I’ve been trying it out, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster.
First off, I got the Mirena inserted. That was a whole process in itself. Not gonna lie, it was kinda uncomfortable, but hey, anything for convenient birth control, right? The doctor said it’s a progesterone-only form of birth control and that it shouldn’t really affect my libido. Some studies even say progesterone can increase your sex drive, so I was like, “Cool, maybe I’ll be feeling extra frisky!”
- Getting it in: Went to the doctor, got it inserted. A bit of a pinch, but nothing I couldn’t handle.
- Early days: Felt pretty normal. No big changes, just going about my life.
But then, things started to get a bit weird. I noticed I just wasn’t in the mood as much. Like, at all. It was like my sex drive just packed its bags and went on vacation without telling me. I started to wonder if this Mirena thing was to blame. I mean, it’s the only new thing I’ve introduced into my body.
- A few weeks in: Started to notice a dip in my libido. Just wasn’t feeling it.
- Worry sets in: Started to think, “Is it the Mirena?” It’s the only thing that’s changed.
So, I did what any normal person would do – I turned to the internet. I started reading all these articles and forums about Mirena and low libido. And let me tell you, the results were all over the place. Some people said they had no problems, others said their sex drive tanked. Some studies said there was no connection, others said there might be. It was a mess!
- Internet deep dive: Found tons of conflicting info. Some say it’s fine, others say it’s a libido killer.
- Feeling confused: Didn’t know what to believe. It seemed like everyone’s experience was different.
I even found this one German forum where someone said they had bleeding for 14 days straight, felt super moody, and their libido just vanished. They ended up getting the Mirena taken out. That definitely didn’t help my anxiety about the whole situation.
Still Figuring It Out
Honestly, I’m still not sure what to think. My sex drive is definitely lower than it used to be, but is it the Mirena? Is it stress? Is it just life? I don’t know. I’m gonna keep monitoring the situation and maybe talk to my doctor about it. It’s all just a big question mark right now.
So yeah, that’s my experience with Mirena and my libido. It’s been a bit of a bumpy ride, and I’m still trying to figure things out. I guess the lesson here is that everyone’s body reacts differently to these things. What works for one person might not work for another. It’s all about finding what’s right for you and your body.
