I'm convinced that it messed with me in a million ways - libido, moods, cramps, a period that lasted for two months (NOT spotting), fatigue, nausea, headaches, painful ovarian cysts, I could go on and on. Every issue I brought up with my Gyn, she informed me could not possibly have been caused by Mirena. But I notice that I didn't have any of these problems before Mirena, and most of them went away after I got it out. So yes, IMO, it could be messing with your sex drive. Probably worth getting it out to see, no? You could use an alternate method of bc for a while so you and your dh can work on your relationship issues before TTC.</p>

<br><br><p> Um, yes, ditto to all of this!! I had absolutely no sex drive what-so-ever and everything stik posted. If you google "mirena side effects" you'll find hundreds and hundreds (no exagerration) of other women who have had all the same problem while their dr's swear it can't be from the Mirena. I experienced the same thing plus absolutely irrational anger over the stupiest things. I took my out (myself) about 2 months again and feel so much better although I can still tell I'm a little off hormonally from it. I figure it'll take a little while for all those hormones to work their way out.</p>

<p>My cycles have been weird since it was removed also, so you may not want to immediately jump into TTC if this happens to you, too.</p>
