This doesn;t seem to come up as a side effect, but if you are like me, you are setting new bounds for side effects! Are you taking anything else? here is what I found reading about the side effects to report:
Please note - some side effects for Mirena may not be reported. Always consult your doctor or healthcare specialist for medical advice. You may also report side effects to the FDA at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/ or 1-800-FDA-1088 (1-800-332-1088).
Hope this can be of some helpt to others who are experiencing the same effect & not reporting it...
