I have the Mirena - got it placed May 2023. I still bleed every month, but I’m a suuuuuper heavy bleeder so I think this is expected. Haven’t gotten pregnant, no infections, mild cramping with bleeds. I’ve never birthed and had only mild discomfort with the insertion. Honestly to me the insertion just felt like one of those uterine cramps where your body is trying to get out a clot. But I did take 800mg of Advil before 😊

[@christinegilbert5082]

IUD did not suit me. My body immediately tried to expel it, as it's a foreign body. It was unsuccessful in doing so. The immune response left me with lichen planus. The iud also became misplaced, causing episodes of pain. I also got pregnant twice and miscarried with it. I deeply regret having one. Your video doesn't mention any complications. Bottom line, it suits some but certainly not all

So I got mine done March 13th by the 29th I felt a string outside of my body. Got it checked due to discomfort and the strings on April 2nd. So 2 weeks later it had shifted they removed and said it was no big deal and said that we should try again so on the second I got my 2nd iud inserted. It’s currently the 9th so a week later and my strings are longer than they were a week ago by a good amount and im in pain. So now they want to see me to check it on Tuesday but im like 90% positive it’s moved again. Idk what im gonna do cause im not trying again. So im running out of effective birthcontrol options

I can’t use tampons, be it makes me sick as soon as it’s inserted. So I’m afraid having this done. I’m supposed to get it done when my period starts at the end of this month. But I’m having second thoughts. I have extremely painful periods. They say this is supposed to help with stopping my period.

I have not had a good experience using Mirena IUD. Bleeding daily for weeks at a time, continuing to have severe menstrual like pain, also sharp stabbing pains in pelvic area, top of leg. This is after 1.5 years in. At first I was told to give it time to help your pain level and for the periods to slowly stop. But I 've only have 3 or 4 months that I did not bleed ( just light spotting). I have researched a lot on this form of pain management ( I'm not using it as birth control method.) I am learning that the progestin in the IUD suppresses the secretion of other hormones and works against them instead of helping them work harmoniously together. So if you're looking at it from a pov to help stop painful cycles, I recommend against an IUD and do Bio Identical Hormone Therapy instead and make sure you are monitoring your hormones with lab work to adjust ratios as needed.

They could argue that it slowed the growth down, but ill never know if this is true. The fact is that it didn't work or do what it was meant to do, I then refused to have another one put in place.

As your comment was two months ago, can you tell me how you've been physically and mentally? I'm prone to anxiety and depression so also concerned about comments related to these side effects

[@pattyhab596]

@DebRoo11 Hi, so I got mine on July 26 so it's been 3 months. Since I got it, I've only had one period with normal flow, but I have been spotting almost everyday since getting the IUD. I had a two week break where I had no spotting at all and I was so happy thinking that that was it...that it finally worked, but started spotting again until today. The good news is that I haven't had a full blown period or any heavy bleeding at all and cramps are more mild. My doctor was spot on when she told me what I should expect after insertion, so I was not surprised from all the spotting. She said that it will take 3 to 6 months for my body to get use to the IUD and that periods will be irregular and sometimes heavier, but will get better and better as time goes by and to be honest I think it is getting better. As far as the emotional side of things. I also have had problems with anxiety and depression. In fact, I've been suffering from this for 16 years. I take meds to keep it under control, but I was off my meds around the time I got the IUD. Ever since, I have had several bouts of depression and severe anxiety, but I can't say for certain that they were caused by the IUD because it was a problem for me before anyway. I have been on my meds for the last two weeks and I am more normal and can cope better with stress. So I think that if one stays with their meds while having the IUD would be a good idea. I'm going to wait for the six months and see if the spotting stops. It's very annoying and I am worried about my anemia so we'll see. I will write here again to give an update.

My gyno doesn’t listen to me and it’s really frustrating when she just keeps prescribing me different BC that make my symptoms worse. I had cramps 24/7 for the whole month until I eventually ditched the BC and stopped going to my gyno because I started to feel hopeless.

[@kendregab7328]

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that your gyno has frustrated you. I'm not a doctor, but I suggest you try to switch gynos until you find someone who listens to you and puts your health first. I've been doing research on IUDs and I believe a hormonal IUD may help women with PCOS. I have symptoms of PCOS and I'm in the process of finding a gyno to help determine if I have it. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I highly suggest you switch gynos until you find someone who listens to you. Good luck and continue to be your own advocate for your health 🤗

Find a different gyno. Find one you like and listens to you. I know it's difficult but they are out there. I'm 34 and am just now finding one. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself.

I have a question I’m thinking of getting a form of birth control for the first time ever… but I don’t know if I should rely on the pill or the iud..? It’s scary how some women have said that they have gotten infections and some have said they go in shock… is there anything you recommend?
