Follow-Up to Mirena

I know some of you were interested to hear how it went.

I went for my 1 week follow up appointment today for the Mirena.  All went well.  I was really surprised that it really DIDN'T hurt like I thought it would.  Maybe because I went into it thinking I'd be experiencing a horror movie, I don't know.  Getting it put in was uncomfortable, but not unbearable or painful really.  That whole day I had spotting and cramps (similar to with a period) and woke up the next day feeling fine.  And I've been fine ever since.

So far, liking it!  It's weird not taking my birth control pill.  I keep feeling like I'm forgetting!

Re: Follow-Up to Mirena

  • Thats how I felt too. I am supposed to go back for my follow up on Friday, but I think Im going to call and resched it for monday so my mama can go with me and watch Whitley. I just really hope I dont get any of the side effects that I have read that are commonly associated with it.

    *TMI warning* The only thing that sucked was that I had to be on my period when they inserted it and the next day I stopped bleeding. everything was a-okay until last last thursday, D and I "did our taxes" and then I started spotting again and it hasnt gone away yet. I dont know if that was what made me start spotting again or just coincidence bec it wasnt the 1st time we had done it since I had it inserted. I plan on asking about it at my follow up.

    haha love the "do your taxes"

    TMI also:
    My doc actually told me that we needed to "be sexually active" before my follow up appointment, in case DH could feel the strings.  So I get to the appointment and the nurse takes me to the back to check my weight and all and she's like "do you need to ue the bathroom?" and I said no, and in the next breath she asks "have you been sexually active?"  I was like EXCUSE ME??  It just threw me off.  So....apparently it's good that you did your taxes because they want to know that!

  • I'm glad to hear the good reviews. Everything I'd heard about Mirena was such a mixed bag that I wasn't sure what to think about it.

    And I'm still lol about "doing taxes". I've heard "doing laundry" but this is a new one!

  • Glad to hear the good news too.  If my body ever figures itself out and we figure out whether to TTC or not, I may do this after we have a baby.
  • Glad to hear it went well. My Dr would be willing to give me one even though I haven't had a baby but our insurance doesn't cover it so I'm debating if it's worth the cost.
