The IUD IS the cause, but your doctor obviously doesn't know anything about it.
Let your doctor read this report:

Now you have proof that it's the Mirena. Take care and good luck!

Kind regards,

i have had my mirena since October 2004. My cramping has gotten worse over time. I have had mild to severe cramping more days than not. I feel like i have PMS 24/7. i usually have severe cramping around the time of month i used to have a period. i do not know if that has to do with the fact that my mirena is now lost. i do not have the insurance or money to have an xray to find it. my abdomen is usually extremely sensitive to even a light touch.

Yes, I have had cramping (and have it now) with the Mirena IUD. I recently loss 18 pounds through diet and exercise. I am a healthy 31 year old and no problems. I do have a new partner and together over the last 4 months with a healthy sex life. Between that and now running 3 times or more a week as well as lifting weights, I started to have spotting and cramps. After Xrays taken this week, it was discovered that the IUD did move and is hanging low along the cervix. It still works and can be moved or removed and replaced, but altimately still works. The dr said the spotting could be either a yeast infection or a result of hormonal changes in my body as a result of losing weight. I'll find out more when I can get back to the dr for more tests in mid december.

I hope this was helpful to some!
