Just had the LEEP surgery... They had to take out the Mirena because of the string...Now I have to pay over 800 just to get a new IUD put in.
my obgyn told me that he had patients whose mirena's fell out. It is then possible to get pregnant.
If you are not having any problems or symptoms, there is no need to get your Mirena checked.
Yes, Mirena does not affect the risk of infertility, miscarriage, or birth defects. There is no change in the probability of having a healthy child due to using Mirena.
Yes, after Mirena is removed, you will ovulate about 14 days before you have your first period.
Mirena's useful life is five years. After it's removed, your period will return within four to six weeks, if your periods were regular before. Like the birth control pill, it quickly gets out of your system.
If you're having cramping with Mirena, you should use a backup method until you can get the position checked by your health care provider. If all is well, you can talk with your provider about options.
Your IUD may be coming out. Avoid unprotected sex until you confirm with your health care provider that the IUD is still in place.
Yes! I had procedure done 6 days ago and have had constant cramping, sometimes sharp stabbing pains, and the worst ever backache. Notified dr 3 days after procedure and never got a response.
There is no minimum age of having the Mirena IUD removed. Women have it removed when they are seeking pregnancy, when they no longer need it (e.g. menopause), or when they have had it in for five years and need a new IUD or new method.
Most women with Mirena experience lack of periods, but not all do. See your health care provider to rule out any other cause of bleeding, such as partial expulsion or infection.
Yes. Smoking: Blood clots are the risk with estrogen based hormone treatments, like the Pill. Mirena uses Progesterone, which will not greatly increase the risk of clots, being a different hormone in a small amount. S
I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with the Mirena. I too had the Mirena and experienced the same issues as yourself over an 8 month period. It turned out that I had several oversized Fibroids and the Mirena did not help with the stemming of heavy bleeding. I had my Mirena removed and subsequently the Fibroids - best thing I ever did. I know they say it can work instantly or may take a couple of months, but it depends on how long you want to continue with things they way they are. Good luck with which ever dicision you make.
