Hey Ladies,
Please take a minute to read my post, if you had positive experience with IUDs or negative one.
I had my Mirena coil only for 10 days, I am 25 years old female, and after some initial cramping (at one point it resembled giving birth, even I have never had children, I felt it like that) and spotting, exactly 7 days after insertion I landed on ER with uncontrollable shaking, sickness, heart palpitations (reaching over the double of my normal), dizziness and troubles breathing. The doctors did all the tests (blood, EKG, etc.) and said everything is normal, and maybe it's anxiety. When I asked couple of times if it's possible that it's the coil (I am normally very healthy, non-anxious, etc.), they said that they can't help me with that and to follow up with my gynaecologist. So I did, she said it's not the coil - shortly after, all the time feeling incredibly sick, I was surfing the Internet with my boyfriend, who was very worried too - I thought I had brain tumour or heart issues. But when I typed anxiety and Mirena, I found the story very similar to mine - young girl, not having any problems before Mirena, doctors on ER acted exactly the same, etc. I got really scared and we decided to remove it straight away, the next day, even if it's only a chance that it's the coil. Started to get better pretty quickly, with a small attack exactly a week after removal. Now, I am 12 days post-removal (and still bleeding...).
I got angry at all the doctors, they made me seem irrational on the ER and of course gyne convincing me it's not the coil - and I was reading more and more about Mirena, and I could not believe either in misinformation of medical world or maybe doctors and Bayer ignoring or hiding from women what might await them after the insertion.
Since the Bayer shows very low numbers on their side effect page, and after reading so many stories with many women having really terrible, long-lasting effects, I decided to do something.
So I made the online questionnaire of side effects, where you can anonymously (or with a name and e-mail if you prefer) tick the boxes which side effects you have etc.
Maybe the doctors won't listen to me or any separate women, but if we collect large sample from many women, maybe they can't ignore that in the future. The misinformation and negligence of the Bayer and doctors is not acceptable and if the company does it for purely financial reasons - it's like criminal activity. And this way, I can give something back to the Internet that helped me to find the reason why I felt like I am dying.
So please, take 3 minutes to fill in the questionnaire here: http ://goo.gl/forms/ys1pEcrsw7

I do not advertise any product and I am not working for anyone - I am just a normal girl, who likes statistics and I think we can all help each other this simple way. If you wish to be updated, please leave your e-mail in the questionnaire, I will send an e-mail, once we hit 100, 500, 1000 women filling it in.

Much love for all of you suffering there and if you can, spread the questionnaire, so the numbers grow faster!
