You are supposed to be able to feel two strings when checking for them. If you do not feel them the IUD might have came out or the string have receded into your uterus
Mirena is an IUD, or intrauterine device. It is a T shaped device that a professional inserts in your uterus to prevent pregnancies. It is good for up to five years then you will visit your doctor again to get another one inserted.
IUDs are not harmful for your uterus. Hormonal IUDs like Liletta, Mirena, and Skyla lower the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus.
If you can't feel the strings, that doesn't mean the Mirena is "lost." See your health care provider for an ultrasound to confirm the IUD is in place. If it's at the top of your uterus and you're happy on the IUD, there's no need to remove it. If the IUD is not in place, then you need to get a new IUD or find an alternate method. If you would like to stop the IUD, your health care provider normally can locate the strings in the endocervical canal without difficulty, usually just by using a q-tip as used during a pap smear. If the strings are missing, be sure to use a backup method of birth control until your health care provider can confirm that the IUD is in place.
No. You're not obligated to sue if Mirena has damaged your uterus. But what happens you'll be in pain and you won't be able to work. Which means you won't make any money. And if you don't make any money how are you gonna pay your bills and buy the supplies you need?
The mirena should be in the uterus. If it is in the vagina your partner will feel it and it may fall out on its own. It should not work when in the vagina as it is supposed to work on the uterine walls.
Mirena is a type of IUD, not a type of diaphragm. It sits inside the uterus and stays in place until removed. In contrast, the diaphragm sits inside your vagina and is inserted and removed for sexual intercourse.
Two to eleven percent of women using the IUD experience an expulsion of the IUD.
No. Not mirena but other birth controls with estrogen yes. St. John's Wart will process the estrogen from the birth control faster causing a menopausal reaction that may cause pregnancy. The mirena is esteogen free and uses only the hormones progestin and levonorgestrel. There is no evidence so far that St. John's wart has a negative effect on the mirena. Mirena also creates an atmosphere within your uterus to avoid pregnancy. You should read more on their website concerning how it works.
Essure is a permanent method of birth control that works by inserting a small metal spring-like device in each tube. Mirena is a temporary method of birth control that works with the insertion of a plastic device in the uterus.
You're not supposed to "feel" the IUD, but you should be able to feel the strings. If you could find the strings and now can't, consider using emergency contraception if you've had sex in the last five days. Don't rely on the IUD for preventing pregnancy until you've had an exam with your health care provider.
