| Hey gals, I too am considering this or the implanon but dont know of costs. Can someone let me know please before I go in and arrange anything. Im nervous now as I was under the impression that the marina was a really good option with minimal side effects.. gggrrrr Sorry to hear all the issues u gals have had. What else is there that is long term...Im shocking with taking my pill and have 2 kids...1 just turned 1 yr old. |

| i have had the marina in for 2 1/2 years and am now getting it out. i have gained over 10kg in that time even though my eating habits did not change, i am on a very low cal diet to try and get the weight off. also i suffer from really bad nausea, i asked the doctor about it 2 years ago and he said it was not the marina but i had blood tests and there was no reason for it. i also suffer from depression now and get down a lot. i dont sleep well any-more and cant have sex with my husband because it hurts too much now. i can feel it the marina in me and am aware of it all the time. i just would not reccomend it. i had heavy periods and got it to help and it has for that but the side affects just are not worth it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I also have the same problem, im 20 and have had problems with bleeding since i was 12 and am now using the marina as the gyno recommended as my last resort, i had it done 6 months ago, suffering from psychotic mood swings, acne which looks like small boils, slight weight gain, tiredness, and in 6 months i have had only 3 days with NO bleeding. My gyno tells me to hang in there but after reading all of the problems everyone else is having i might get it removed and give the pill another go. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I had mine put in 01/09 I only have spotting every now and again but I have miagraines, pimples, Im moody, I have a sharp stabbing pain behind my belly button, a super low labido and I have put on 7kg despite walking 5km a day and doing an hours aerobics each day I also spot after sex, Im seeing the gyno in a couple to get this out and tie my tubes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Im 19 I just had a baby 2 months ago, i wanted to get on birth control but then someone told me about the marina and i want to get it. I actually have an apponitment on the 29th, but after reading all these messages, im starting to doubt a little bit. i want some advice on if i should get it or not. i know its my decision but a second opinion is always welcomed... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have had a Marina for about 5 yrs. It is the best thing I have ever done. I tried absolutely everything, I used to get my period for 2wks, break for 3 days, then another 2wks etc, etc . VERY heavy, and EXTREMELY painful, all of this since they started at 13yrs old. Since the marina, I get some spotting for a week TINY bit of pain, but otherwise, brilliant. The first yr I had it was a bit up and down, but once my body was used to it, it all settled down. My gp had prepared me for that. I had gone to him to have a historectomy at the age of 30, he said to try this as a last resort... Like I said... BEST thing I have ever done, just about to have a new one placed, to cover the next 5 yrs... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| hi me too . best thing i ever did apparently there are few women that it works for we are so lucky . |

| I got one two and a half months ago to cure long term excessive bleeding, caused by ovarian cysts and pre menopause.The first months period was very light but painful. The second months period was very light and without any pain at all . I have not noticed any negitive side effects at all . I was very apprehensive about getting the marina after reading lots of womens bad experiences with it but it is worth a try I donot need it for contraception but it has stopped the bleeding and i am sure it has fixed my mood swings associated with menstruation as well I hope this letter helps some women and that you are as lucky as i am and have every success . |

| You have the option of endometrial ablation. Sometimes it lasts for ever or a few months. It is worth a try before the hysT&&&&&my | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am a mother of 1 Beautiful Girl and I had the Marina Put in 9/08 I had my daughter in June. Ever since I had the Marina fitted I have never had a period. Thought it was great but last night I just got one i have no clue what this is all about but it does not feel normal. I have a cyst on my ovary from the Marina, It hurts during Sex, I have pains during the day. Also I had some hair loss and some weight gain There are a lot of things the Doctors don't tell you about Marina. I got a print out of all the side effects on it and everything i have is due to the Marina I really would tell everyone on here not to get it. so what you are saying '' i no its the marina not me''. I no and i feel the same thing. I am just going to get it out! look at what it is doing to all of us. IS it worth it to feel this way? |

| I had the Marina coli fitted 18 months ago, and almost straight away the side effects started!!!! I've had the acne for about a year now and its really starting to get me down, the spots are more like boils!! I've had two different antibiotics from the doctor but neither of them have made a difference!!! I'm on the verge of having it out. I'm 21 and have never had spots!!!! Please help!!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I had the mirena fitted two years ago, not so much for contraception but more to help alleviate the symptoms of PCOS and try to dissolve some of the cysts. I too bled for in the region of 8-10 weeks after insertion and although I haven't had a period, so to speak, since this was never unusual for me. I have since been advised that I should arrange to have a complete hormone evaluation and I'm wondering if this is necessary because the coil is licensed for another 3 years or so. Recently I have noticed a radical change in my mood. I have been suffering from slight depression for no apparent reason and yes the weight has crept on even though I do not eat excessively. I'm wondering is this all normal ladies or should I arrange to have it removed. I read some of your comments about the insertion being painful - this was done under day procedure, general anaesthetic for me. Does anyone know how quick fertility levels are supposed to return after removal of the mirena? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I've the Marina for 12 weeks since Dec 30th 2008 and have been bleeding since then. I am breaking out on my face and I never get pimples. I also have been to 4 doctors about these marks that look like spider bits and when I looked up the side effects they are hives. Very Very itchy and painful. I am so sick of bleeding and trust me so is my husband. I also suffer from migrains now too. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I think it does show up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HEY THERE, AFTER READING YOUR RESPONSE I TOO HAVE HAD A BIT OF TROUBLE WITH THE COIL. JUST LIKE URSELF I TOO THOUGHT I HAD MADE THE RIGHT DECISION AFTER SPEAKING TO MY GYNO. I SUFFER FROM ENDOMETRIOS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BENEFIT ME, I HAVE NOW HAD THE COIL FOR 1 MONTH AND AS FAR AS THE BLEEDING SO FAR IT HAS BEEN FOR 2 WEEKS. HOWEVER THE CRAMPS IN MY PELVIC AREA ARE SO PAINFUL AND THE BLOATING HALF THE TIME I FEEL LIKE IM 10 TIMES THE SIZE I AM.HAVE HAD THE CRYING THING AND THE PAIN DURING SEX AS WELL. SO ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION I THINK IT IS COMING FROM THE COIL AND HAVE YOU HAD THE HEADACHES THERE NOT SO GOOD EITHER. |

| Has anyone had migrians with this ? I have never had them in my life and over the 6 mths with it in have had 5. I am so MOODY the people around me cant stand it! Seem like I have spotting all the time and a major period every other month that are worse than what I normally had. AS well as 3 yeast infections. I have gained 25 pounds with it in as well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi there, i had the marina coil fitted last june to help lighten my periods but they are much worse now. i can constantly feel it, like it is stabbing me in my right side.it stabbed my partner quite baddly when we were having sex. i constantly have cramps and have only had a few days without bleeding. i wouldn't recomend it to anyone. i want more babies so how do i know its not damaging my chances? R x. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| After three years I am deciding to have mine removed. I thought I was getting bigger due to age etc and those little treats at weekends but it can't be I walk between 2-5 miles 5 days a week and run around after family. I thought it was a good excuse to use the merina as anexcuse but now I realise it must have been it.In the first year I prob put on 7 pounds and now I am almost a stone over my nice weight. I hope something magical happens and when this is removed I can go back to normal. I will get sterilised as I have my babies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I had the same problem so i had it done in hospital. You're totally under, obviously, so you can't feel anything at the time, but the pain afterwards was a bit much.. not excruciating, but nothing like the doc trying to do it in his office, that's for sure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i am 22 and had it done about 3 months ago and have had exactly the same side affects. I got it done because the Implanon wasn't working out for me anymore. I got the Implanon because when i was 16, i would start a period and it just wouldn't stop. We tried so many things and that was the best-no periods, no pain, slight mood swings but generally really good.. until it stopped working for me and the constant spotting/pain/serious mood swings came back. It is such a relief to see that someone else is having the same side affects as me. It's been hard I have considered taking it out, but that means more constant periods/pain/etc. Seems i just can't win. |
