This thing, this Mirena, it’s a real pain in my butt. I heard about it from my neighbor, she said it was good, help you not have babies. But, oh boy, it’s been nothing but trouble for me.
Mirena and Low Sex Drive
They say this Mirena thing, it’s a birth control. You know, like the pill but you put it up there, inside you. It is supposed to stop you from getting pregnant. And it’s got these hormones in it. Well, ever since I got this thing put in, I just don’t feel like doing it anymore, no sir.
My man, he don’t understand. He keeps asking, “What’s wrong?” And I just, I don’t know what to tell him. It’s this Mirena IUD, I’m sure of it. It’s messing with my insides, making me all out of sorts. Low sex drive with Mirena, that’s what I got.
Hormones and Mood Swings
This thing, it’s got progesterone. Sounds like a monster, don’t it? My neighbor, she said it was just a little bit, wouldn’t bother me none. But I tell ya, I feel different. One minute I’m happy as a clam, next I’m crying over nothing. It’s them hormones, I know it is. And this no-baby-making-mood? That’s the worst part. I feel like a dried up old prune. And no good for my man.
- Mirena got hormones, they say.
- Makes me not want to, you know.
- My man, he’s confused.
- I’m all sad and weepy sometimes.
They say this Mirena is supposed to be good for 5 years. Five years! I don’t know if I can last that long feeling like this. I don’t like it, no sir. Not one bit. It’s this low libido, that’s what they call it, I think. Just means I don’t want to do it. And it’s all ’cause of this thing.
Mirena Side Effects
And it’s not just the no-baby-making-mood. I get these pains, too. Down there, in my belly. Like little pinches. And sometimes I bleed, even when it ain’t that time of the month. They told me this was supposed to make my time of the month go away. They said I would not bleed like that anymore, but I still do! A little, but I do.
I read somewhere, some women, they get depression from this thing. Makes ’em all sad and down in the dumps. I ain’t that bad, thank goodness. But this low sex drive, it’s making me mighty unhappy, I can tell you that. Mirena side effects are no joke, that’s for sure.
Mirena and Other Birth Control
Before this Mirena, I used to take the pill. Never had no problems with that. Maybe a little headache now and then, but nothing like this. I heard there are other things, too. Like a patch you stick on your arm, or a shot you get in your butt. But this Mirena, they said it was the best. Just put it in and forget about it, they said.
Ha! Forget about it? How can I forget about it when it’s making me feel like this? I’m starting to think I shoulda just stuck with the pill. Or maybe tried that patch. Or something else. Anything but this.
Mirena Crash
I heard tell of something called a Mirena crash. They say when you get this thing taken out, your body goes crazy. Like it’s trying to figure out what to do without those hormones anymore. Makes you all angry and anxious, they say. Sounds awful, don’t it?
I’m thinking about getting this thing taken out. I can’t stand this low sex drive anymore. I want to feel like myself again. I want to want my man again. But I’m scared of this Mirena crash. What if it makes things worse? What will happen if I get pregnant? I am not that old!
Is Mirena Worth It?
This Mirena, it’s supposed to make life easier. No more worrying about babies. But for me, it’s just made things harder. This low sex drive, it’s ruining everything. I don’t feel like myself. I don’t feel like a woman. I just feel…blah. It’s that levonorgestrel. I know it. It’s making me crazy!
Maybe it works for some women. My neighbor, she seems happy enough. But for me, it’s been a real disaster. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Not if you like feeling like yourself, that is. And not if you like, you know, doing it with your man. Is Mirena worth it? Not for me, it ain’t.
I just want this thing out of me. I want my old life back. I want my sex drive back. I don’t want to be sad anymore. I want to be happy. I want to feel good. Maybe I’ll go talk to the doctor. Maybe he can help. Maybe he can get this thing out of me and make me feel like myself again. I hope so. I really, really hope so.
