Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I have suffered from incredibly heavy periods since having my two kids (I&#039;m 38). After having the Mirena inserted (which hurt, but was quick and no worse than a labour pain) I spotted for approx 3 months. During this time, I also experienced some depression, drop in sex drive (which my dr. insisted is not related), breast tenderness and subtle weight gain. Its now been 5 months. I&#039;ve decided to have it removed. The spotting has stopped, aside from after sex-not so sexy; I am having fairly regular cramping which I can only liken to the feeling of an ovarian cyst. I&#039;ve never carried weight around my middle; I&#039;m a very active runner with a healthy diet but I swear this thing has given me a very doughy tummy.  
 I just want it gone."
