The weight gain and the craziness?

It's the Mirena IUD.

You have no idea how much better I feel, knowing that.

I am getting this thing removed upon my return from the wilds of Florida.

I like the copper quite a bit. I can't say that my periods are any more heavy or painful than they were before. I have developed endometriosis, but that is not related to the IUD. The copper one can last twice as long, is covered by more insurance companies, and generally has less side effects. But if Mirena isn't causing you a problem, then maybe just get another one of those?

Well, and that's the question...because the more health problems that develop (because they are getting worse) the less optional chemicals I want in my body...so...when this one needs to be replaced, I may think seriously about replacing it with the copper one. I do *really* like having the IUD. I like not having to think about my bc...because my brain and remembering things (although pills at this point are a non issue anymore other than that whole side effect thing) are really a bad idea :)

Thanks!
