Re: New IUD is this bloody mess going to be forever?

I'm not sure what sort of IUD you got but I got a Mirena IUD under the recommendation of a nurse practitioner (I know i should have gotten a doctors oppinion) because I have fibroid tumors and have an excessive blood loss during my menstrual cycle. This IUD was SUPPOSED to slow my menstrual flow and perhaps aid in shrinking the tumors. What did it actually do? I had an EXTREMELY heavy flow from May 11 (day of implant) until July 15 (day of extraction). I was lightheaded and dizzy and experienced sharp pains in my abdomen and a pulling in my rectal area all as a result of that IUD. I was told after I couldn't take it anymore and INSISTED they remove it, that my uterus has become too enlarged from the fibroids for the IUD to do what it was supposed to have done. HELLO DOCTORS!!!! DIDNT YOU LOOK AT THE SONOGRAM PRIOR TO THE IMPLANT!!!???!!! Tweet
