Uhm, so I had no idea hair loss was a side effect of the Mirena IUD.

I didn’t know until I read one of my favorite bloggers most recent posts.

And then I found this site.

Pardon my french but I am FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.

This HAS to be from the IUD. I am honestly pulling a golfball size clump of hair out of the drain every day. My hair is one of the few things I really REALLY like about myself and now it’s going away.

Points to be made:

• This thing was expensive to have placed and I’ve only had it for 2 months. Should I give it more time? Probably. That’s more than likely what my midwife would say.
• Let’s say I get it pulled. Yaz/Yazmin is out – caused depression. NFP/Charting/condoms are a pain in the rear and SCARE THE BEJEEZUS out of me. What then? A different pill? I suppose.

Hokay, that’s all for now. I just had to post this because omgwhatamIgoingtodo?!?!
