I got the Mirena 3 days ago (Dec 13) and wanted to share my short little story to see if anyone else had similar experiences with this IUD.

Getting it in honestly wasn't bad AT ALL. Some cramping and it was over. But, immediately after I was dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out. I stayed in the OBGYN office for a good 1.5 hours laying down and drinking juice until I felt okay enough to walk downstairs and get picked up.

Only for another day and a half did I have cramping, but I felt dizzy and nauseated ALL DAY!! It never went away and at night it got worse making me not be able to sleep because the room was spinning and my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. This morning, I woke up and got a sonogram and they said I shouldn't be feeling this way because the IUD was perfectly positioned and placed. Because of how terrible I was feeling, I still decided to get it out this morning. Let me tell you - as crazy as it sounds - I felt better within 1 minute of it coming out.

I've been taking lo lo estrin for 2 years prior to this with no problems. But, I had a similar reaction to a pill called Minastrin as I got super dizzy and almost passed out. I wonder if I am allergic to some type of hormone?
