Re: Mirena IUD side effects and law suit
I would also like to file a lawsuit agianst Mirena. I actually called a lawyer about this and he said that I would need other women with the same idea to file a lawsuit. I recently became pregnant while using mirena and endedup having an epctopic pregnancy, which meant I lost the baby and I also lost a falopian tube. I am reading everyone's comments on the birth control about the odd side effects of this drug and I just thought that maybe it was having a new baby in the house or stress but all of these symptoms that people describe having I have had too. The tiredness, lack of sex drive, vaginal dryness, mood swings, slight depression, and cramping. Unlike others I actually did not have a period while using the birthcontrol. I actually went to a doctor to make sure that It was normal for me not to have a period and they told me not to worry. So when I started bleeding out of the blue one day I assumed that I was finally getting a period, boy was I wrong. I went to the doctor to have the birthcontrol checked after having it for only a year and the doctor could not find the IUD. It had gotten lost in my uterus, and to top it off I was also pregnant. The pregnancy ended up being in my falopian tube and it was getting ready to burst. If I had waited only a few more days or hours to have this checked I could have died. Only now am I hearing on commercials for the Mirena birth control that it is not for women with a history of epctopic pregnancy. Well I didn't have a history of eptopic pregnancy before using this birthcontrol, but now I do, and I have the medical bills to prove it. All I want is for them to pay my bills and to take this think off of the market, because apparently they did not do enough research on this thing.
