I had mirena put in 2yrs ago-6months after the birth of my first child- andhad a lot of pain when itwas inserted and for about 2weeks following with heavy bleeding(which wasn't a big deal). After that my husband and i started to have sex and he could feel the strings i had to go in two more times to get the strings shortened.by then my periods had stopped completely. about 6 months(i think) ago i started having awful cramping and i could only feel the tip of one string and i could tell that the other had travels just inside the cervix and was poking and had mad a lump to one side of the tip of my cervix, dr. told me she coulding feel it and told me to take some ibeprofen so i did after a month the pain finally stopped, but i could still only feel one string. just a few weeks ago we decided to have mirena taken out to try for a second child. dr said she could find the strings but had no trouble causing me pain so they moved me to the procedure room and caused me a lot more pain.but still couldn't find them-i had just felt these strings 2 days prior-so they sent me to have an ultrasould to find them- they were in the right place(went home and could feel the string). so they had me back another day and giv me a pain med to take before the procedure and would inject some kind of cervical block for pain-well needless to say the pain was awful and yet they still couldnt get it out. now They have scheduled me for surgery in a month to have it taken out. my doctor has been very vague on what the real issue is. im afraid something is very wrong and will result in infertilaty.
Oh and during the time ive had mirena in i have also gained about 20 lbs and had awful moods swings, at one point i was placed on antidepressents and that just isnt me. i chalked the weight gain up to my changing body and getting older but the thing is im only 20. i feel as if ive been bloated the whole time as well. my diet hasnt changed much at all- ive never been a skinny person. i used to be a consistent 5'3'' -125lbs before meeting my husband i was 130 before the baby. and i managed to get back to that after the baby but before the mirena now im tipping the scale at 150.
i hope once the mirena is removed my body will return to normal
