Re: My Mirena is lost inside me, not in my uterus

I wanted to pass this on-not to talk about lawsuit, but to let you know you are not alone, and what the general procedure is to find/remove it. It is possible for the Mirena to fall out, but also possible that it migrated outside the uterus. (and I have seen women posting that the docs swore it fell out, only to locate it later). Did the woman doing the ultrasound see it? (It doesnt sound like she told you what to do next) If not, an x-ray should be able to locate it. The mirena contains barium-specifically added so that it would show up on the x-ray for exactly this reason. Please let us know how you make out. Tweet
