Mirena coil for endometriosis -- bringing on mental health issues (anxiety/depression) 2 years in.

I've had the Mirena for close to two years. Around the 1 1/2 year mark my periods have finally almost disappeared. They were never heavy with the Mirena, just realllly long (10-12 very light days). Now its 3 or 4 light days, if even. 5 months ago my gyno found a cyst on one ovary. She asked if I had any symptoms, I said -- just acne. However, the last couple of months have become worse -- the cyst must be getting larger, or there are more of them, because I often have pains on one or both sides of the pelvis, but worst of all -- nausea. Nausea like morning sickness, and tender breasts. The nausea has been so bad these last two days that my anxiety and depression is creeping back. I MUST NOT allow that to happen, so I scheduled an appt. with the gyno for Thursday. I am not going to let the Mirena affect my mental health. Anybody else have probs with the Mirena and that?
