Question Mirena IUD Vs. Breast Cancer Relationship

Last year around September 2009 I had my mammograms and also, around the same time I was inserted Mirena IUD (plastic w/ Levonorgestrel) from that day I noticed changes in my body, loss hair, sleep patterns, mood changes, headaches, etc. hormonal inbalances. On sep this year when I was diagnosed with Breast cancer I keep thinking on how those changes in my body started . This is so much coincidence and of course Icannot proof that the hormone in the IUD has something to do with it. I know Drs sd that the amount of hormones are minimum but if you read the list of risk of adverse reaction published by the same company you wonder how such "small " amount of progesterona can produce: nausea, nervousness, vulvovaginitis, dysmenorrhea, back pain, weight increase, decreased libido, cervicitis/Papanicolaou smear normal/class II, hypertension, dyspareunia, anemia, alopecia, skin disorders including eczema, pruritus, rash and urticaria, abdominal distention, hirsutism and edema. Also, I found out shocking that there were spontaneous reports of breast cancer during Mirena postmarketing !
simply Mirena point out : ". Because spontaneous reports are voluntary and from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to use postmarketing data to reliably estimate the frequency or establish causal relationship to drug exposure". I wonder if people considered healthy from this group had the same experience, please let us know.
