This is my first time doing this. I am currently on my second Mirena. I had NO issues at all with the first one I had, just had to have it removed because it had run its course. I had my new one put in a little over a year ago, and recently tried pulling it out. I could get to a certain point, but then it would start hurting and I would cramp for a while afterward. I call my OB/GYN and was sent for an ultrasound. The Mirena showed up just fine on the scan, but since my attempt at self removal (I was experiencing cramping and just overall did not feel good, and wanted it out since we are thinking of going ahead and trying for our third child)I have noticed that when I am on the excercise bike or just during strenous excercise I start to cramp and it lasts for about 2 hours or longer after I am finished. Has this happened to anyone else, and should I be concerned? I don't want anything to be wrong, especially since we are going to start trying in the new year for a baby.
