What a nightmare I'm in right now! I have been feeling awful for a few months now with abdomenal pain that comes and goes, irritability, daily headaches, lethargy, back pain, and most recently anxiety and panic attacks. I'm convinced now that it has something to do with my Mirena. I decided to have it taken out, but don't have insurance so I decided to go to planned parenthood to have it removed which I thought would be a simple process. They didn't fight me on it, but they could not find the strings. They told me that I have to go to the OBGYN and have an ultra sound so they can locate where it is and remove it and that they think I may also have a UTI. this is turning into such a nightmare! Of course not only will the OBGYN not see me until next week, it's of course going to cost me an arm and a leg since I don't have insurance! I am in hell right now! I just want to get this stupid thing out of me and get back to my normal life!!! Has anyone had this happen? Where they couldn't find the strings to remove it? Is it a big deal? I am so worried about this! Help!
