Mood Swings and Mirena

I had Mirena put in a month ago. I have spotted ever since and have been horribly mean to my two year old. I feel so bad for him! I don't really want much to do with him, my daughter, or my husband. I am really considering having it taken out. Anyone out there who has Mirena and went through something similar?

I also had Mirena put in about a month ago but I have not experienced any mood related side effects. I would discuss with your doctor if this is a common side effect maybe your body is still adjusting?

I may not be of help, but I had the problem when I got my removed. I wasn't really mean, but I was very emotional, weepy and depressed which isn't me. I figure it was the hormonal changes. I would definitely talk with your doctor about it.

Ive definitely had some issues. I dont know if its just some depression or from the mirena. This is literally written on a paper on my fridge "You are not hungry. Mirena is. Get some ice water." Im also breaking out. 

I cant have it out. I cannot get pregnant right now. So, there it stays.

OMG - I'm hungry all the time as well! I've been blaming bfing, but maybe it's the Mirena.

I got pregnant with a copper IUD so Mirena is really my only relatively low hormonal option.  Oh, and the spotting/bleeding is ridiculous. The copper IUD never did that to me.

Before considering having it removed talk to your doctor about postpartum depression. It can occur anytime after birth, many women don't have symptoms until 5 or 6 months postpartum and your symptoms may not be caused by the mirena. Good luck figuring it all out!

My doctor told me to take 3 ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours for a week to help cut down on the bleeding and it worked really well for me.
I haven't had any mood swings not am I hungry all the time....

I had mine inserted on 10/25 and I still spot on and off.  As for mood swings, I was a pretty even-keeled pregnant lady and even PP I didn't really "swing".  Ever since Mirena I feel like there are times when I can't control the mood swing and I hate it.
