Birth Control
"I had the Mirena fitted 6 and a half years ago, and  was on my second coil up until today when I had it removed. I had been to the doctors on numerous occasions complaining of tiredness, weight gain and inability to lose weight, huge and tender breasts, numbness in my fingers, palpitations, yellowing and dry eyes, shortness of breath, diarrhea, swollen legs, headaches, stomach cramps and an uncontrollable itching all over. The doctor did blood tests and they came back normal every time, and not on any occasion did he mention it could be my coil. I can&#039;t believe I have been putting up with this for all this time. I was a 10 and a half stone when I had it fitted. I am now 14 and a half stone. My bra size was 36C now its 38F."
