Problems with the mirena coil???

[missy1981]

I've had the mirena coil for just over a year. Everything was fine to begin with but have noticed a few changes in myself the past 3 months... My periods are fine and normal, have abit of spotting inbetween which is fine, but my moods have been terrible and have become very emotional & have put on abit of weight My sex drive has gone, and I have a dryness problem down below which in turn doesnt make me want to have sex... Has anybody else had any similar experiences??

After a five year Mirena stint I really needed to remember what was really me, so I went for a few months without it. The result: back to heavy periods and much worse PMT (and cold feet, they couldn't explain that one !) . My SD was never too hot anyway, and my weight didn't change. In the end I got a new one fitted, since it's supposed to lessen hormone imbalance as menopause approaches.
