I should update my story here....on July 1st I went in to havemy Mirena removed after having it just over a year. Mostly due to non stop bleeding after my son weaned, but also because I've always had odd painon my right side. Well, she couldn't get it
So I went for an u/s to determine exactly where it was and it couldn't be found. Finally I had xrays and it was seen. I had laparoscopic surgery yesterday to have it removed. That was a breeze compared to the insertion and then the attempted removal of it! I am only a bit sore around the incision made in my belly button. In the end, the IUD had perforated my uterus and was sitting behind it! It was moving into different positions (based on my xrays, one was standing and one was laying down) hence my pain coming and going. Just want everyone to be very aware if you start to have any strange pains or bleeding...it very well could be problems with Mirena!
