Anyone using/used Mirena..
I am considering Mirena in the next 2 years after we decide on having another child or not. Did any of you girls have any problems with it? Someone told me that it can fall out, not sure exactly how true that is, but I figured I would ask. I would love to hear all feedback on this regardless if it's good or bad.. TIA
Re: Anyone using/used Mirena..
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
I've had mine since January. No problems so far. They told me it could take about 6 months for my period to "regulate". T haven't had a "normal" period since January but I have been spotting since then.
As far as it falling out, you're supposed to check it regularly so I'm not sure how people don't notice them coming out, or how you wouldn't notice it in the toilet or anywhere else that it would have fallen out, and then to not be smart enough to stop having sex once you noticed it wasn't in anymore.
I've had Mirena since last August, and it hasn't fallen out. I have had problems with it though. I've had BV twice since I've had it and YI out the a*s. And they're not normal YI's they're the ones that hurt and burn like crazy and are extremely painful. I talked to my gyno about it and he said it is a possible side effect from the Mirena because it is a foreign object in your body.
I've considered taking it out to not have to deal with it anymore, because it's more of a hassle than anything. Although, I'm not making any decisions until my H gets snipped.
I've had my Mirena in for about a year and half, and I love it.
Insertion hurt so bad, but once that was done I didn't have a single problem after wards. I was still nursing when it was put in, so I didn't have any periods till I weaned my son in September '09, but within a month my periods returned nice and normal. No cramping, no pain.
I know there are women out there with horror stories, but at least for me an IUD has been a great choice.
