So I’ve had the mirena since I had my daughter over 3 years ago.

I was honestly so scared to get it in the first place because of all the horrible stories I heard about it moving and causing people all sorts of problems.

I got pregnant with both my kids while on the birthcontrol Pill so I definitely wasn’t doing that again! I didn’t want the shot because it made my mom gain a lot of weight and I’m already Heavyset. My dr said the patch wasn’t a good idea for overweight patients.

So he suggested the implant in the arm or mirena. I really didn’t want either but he reassured me that those horror stories don’t really happen that much and how none of his patients have ever had any problems with it so I said “okay, let’s do it!”

After getting it inserted, I bled pretty good for two months straight! But after that two months, I didn’t have any bleeding or periods until the beginning of the year I started spotting for a few days every month, which I associated with my period coming back for whatever reason.

But otherwise, I had no problem with it!

A couple months ago my husband and I decided to try for another child.

I called my dr and made an apt to get the mirena taken out. My apt was suppose to be next month.

Well Saturday night I started getting these really bad cramps. I just brushed it off and figured it’d be better in the morning. Sunday morning came and The cramping wasnt better, it was WORSE.

I tried to go about my day, drinking lots of water hoping it’d help. About Noon a coworker gave me some midol which didn’t help. Around 4 I was given Extra Strength Tylenol, didn’t help. Around 6 I laid down and put a heating back on my abdomen, didn’t help. Around 8 I took a couple Naproxen, didn’t help either. It was awful. I could barely walk, when I would cough, sneeze or even try to go to the bathroom it got worse. Just to push to pee I felt almost like I was giving birth!!

I was thinking about going to the ER but after working 16 hours I was too exhausted so I just went to bed, again hoping it’d be better in the morning.

I woke up this morning and the pain was still there. I called my OBGYN and thankfully they had an open appointment for me to come up for an ultrasound and to see the dr. After suffering, almost in tears for them to do the internal sono, the dr came in “we have an explanation for your pain!” The reason? My mirena moved out of place. THANK GOD it didn’t get embedded anywhere or lost, the dr was able to remove it and she said it looked all to be there so I shouldn’t have to worry about any further issues from it and my pain should subside soon.

This was at 11 this morning. It is now 9:30pm and I’m still in excruciating pain 😭

Has anyone else had the same problem with mirena? How long did it take for the pain to stop after having it removed?

Also, Although with this pain I can’t even imagine having sex right now lol but how long did it take for you to get pregnant after having mirena to removed? Any pregnancy problems that were related from having the mirena??

Thanks in advanced!
