Mirena side effects - Birth Control Message Board

I saw the first thread about IUD's and was just wondering more. I have had the Mirena for about a year and half. I have developed spotting in between periods and a weird mucousy discharge. Most of all I have what feels like morning sickness when I wake up and have had a bout of anxiety/depression return after an 8 year absence. At this point I don't know if its the mental issues or perhaps Mirena side effects or maybe both.

I've had it since September. The weird discharge started in February, and now I feel depressed with no explanation. Can it all be due to Mirena?

I don't know. I have never felt the way I do now and there have been no major lifestyle changes for me. I have been seeing so many doctors lately that I don't want to make yet another appointment...maybe it's time to see my OB. Best of luck and seek help for the depression, don't let it fester.

I had Mirena inserted yesterday (Monday) and so far have not had any problems. Question is though - my OB told me you are supposed to be able to feel the strings? I have checked several times and haven't been able to feel anything. Does anyone else have this problem??
