MoreI had my mirena inserted on 2/25/07. I called my (then) DR several times complaining of pain. He said it was my body getting used to the IUD and to just give it time.
On 4/6/07 I was in such pain I could not walk. I was taken to the ER and admitted inpatient for MAJOR PID (non sexually transmitted got it from insertion). I was put on IV Antibiotics for 2 days inpatient, then 2 weeks of oral Antibiotics .
At the time of insertion my tubes were clear, my uterus measured 5 cm. Now my right tube is completely blocked and my uterus is 11 cm (12 week pregnancy size, though not pregnant).
I think I may sue this doctor for negligence. I have now lost my fertility and am facing a possible/probable hysterectomy at 37.
DO NOT GET THE IUD...it's so not worth it!!

MoreThis is a reply to # 865,907Yikes! I'm experiencing something similar, called my doctor today and they said to come in ASAP because what I am experiencing isn't normal! I can't get in until Thursday afternoon (college final exams, ahh!) so we'll see what happens then. Good luck with everything, that's pretty scary!

This is a reply to # 865,907I have been away from this site for awhile. Why? Trying to get
well after my horrible uterine infection from the Mirena IUD. Had
surgery 2 weeks ago and I am happy to report that I am feeling ok
this week. I am carefully optimistic. I am so sorry to hear about
your similar experience. I too reported pain and was put off for
a week by my doctor. It took four rounds of Antibiotics and six weeks
of hell before I felt better. I have a new doctor now. He also supports
the use of the Mirena IUD. I had it in my body 5 months before I developed
the infection. I was told it was probably an STD I am 43 and have been
with 2 men since age 17! My husband is faithful. My doctor was very defensive
and more than glad to move my chart for me! I wouldn't recommend the IUD
to the enemy.- Re: Are you ready for this???? Damn ... purplepixie

This is a reply to # 867,024My doctor recommended the Mirena IUD to me a while ago. I hopped online, in the first 5 minutes i had read enough scare stories to put me off it completely.
Mirena or celibacy? ....i'll take the latter, thanks! lol
My cousin had those rods implanted in her arm as a form of contraception, she seemed to get on okay with them, though i do not see or speak to her very often at all, but at least she was laughing and standing when i saw her with the rods i her arm!
I had the depo-provera injection, and went into a deep sleep for 6 months. All i wanted to do was sleep. I felt so sluggish.
The pill has so many side effects i won't even bother going there!!
There is not much left for us ladies to choose from is there?
Celibacy.....ah the joys...:-(...lol - Re: Are you ready for this???? Damn ... cycochic

This is a reply to # 867,024I'm surprised you are all blaming the Mirena when in fact the Mirena probably did not cause the infection as it is packaged in a sterile package. Infection is generally introduced into the cervical canal either through poor insertion technique ie not having a sterile environment or from (much less plausible) unhygenic practices. Its very disappointing for you to have to go through so much when it should be such a simple thing to have happen. All the best in getting back on track and I hope this serves as a valuable lesson to your doctors.

This is a reply to # 865,907Oh yea the outcomes are so hard to believe. I had a man doctor to that told me its immpossible for me to feel it. I also feel pregnant all the time and I feel the twitching like a baby kicking. My uterus is now 10 cm but my new doctor would not say that the mirena caused it, and my old records have been destroyed by the doctor that caused the damages. thats him in the picture.
The NC medical board thinks he did nothing wrong, well i guess they will not mind if I post what he did with a picture of his face around the town.
I have a case but I can not find a lawyer to deal with the hostpital.
If your uterus is bigger that 5 or 6 cm a mirena would not be suitable or be lost so either way the doctors made a mistake in making us keep it and it caused damage, or they never should have given it to us. - Re: Are you ready for this???? Damn ... jayjoe

This is a reply to # 865,907Hi everyone I got my mirena put in Jan 08 and like I just read it was the most painful thing ever. It felt like every night for a month at around 10pm at night when the hormones where releasing I would have severe cramps like I was in labour and having a child. I called my DR and he said that my body was just trying to get use to the foreign object. The paid has gone away but the acne is terrible. I had smooth skin before and now I have plenty cyst that don't have a head and won't go away all over my arms, back, chest and face. I was wondering why my hair was growing so long its the mirena. The bad thing is I have hair all over my face like a man in places I have never had. I am taking this out. Lets not talk about the weight gain. I am so withdrawn now until I no longer go out and socialize. I guess you can call it depressed. I read up on this iud before I put it in and no where on their offical website I have seen these problems as a side effect. I am glad I joined this support group,,, I am angry tho.....
