So I guess my title sounds a bit
overdramatic; however, there would be no other description worthy of the hell
that Mirena has caused. Granted I am
sure that there are women who have had worse outcomes with Mirena such as it
poking through their uterus, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease etc., but for me
Mirena has taken away my body. I was
starting to feel less of a woman.
July 15th, 2016. I saw my OB/GYN. He has been my doctor for years; however, I
must confess that I had been a terrible patient because I neglected to see him
since he placed my second Mirena in May 2011.
His face when he saw me, I could only assume it was a shock to see how
big I have gotten, but then again I feel like everyone who hasn’t seen me in a
while are astonished at how fat I have become.
Let me back up to May 2011, I
went in to have the first Mirena removed and have a new placement put in. My doctor was unable to get the Mirena out
without the aid of ultrasound, so I was surprised when he was able to get it
out with just a light, but painful tug.
He asked if I wanted some other kind of birth control. I told him I am absolutely finished with all
of it. He asked me what have I experienced and I told him everything from my weight gain, acne and facial hair. He didn’t look either convinced or surprised
so maybe he has heard it all before. He
has been talking to me about tubal litigation and I am considering it, but it
is condoms here on out.
I am now free from 9 years of
havoc and now I want to blog how my body is hopefully getting back to normal
here on out. I don’t see many posts,
blogs, or websites that follow a woman’s path to getting her body back post
Mirena and I wanted to create this blog to help women find hope, if at all I
have any success at feeling better again.
