I have had the Mirena IUD for a year now and it was okay for the first few months but since February of this year it’s been incredibly out of whack. In May I had a period from the first day until the 5 of June, then had no period until September and since September it has been almost nonexistent and completely irregular (I had one in October that was from the 22-29 but my period in September was the 5-8).

Within the past few months it’s become painful to have sex with my husband, like it feels like there’s a knife in my uterus when we do it (tmi sorry) and then I cramp right after. It’s been constant cramping pretty much everyday, I’ve been getting migraines lately and there’s been a light pain on the upper left side of my uterus area (not sure if it’s ovary related). Plus, I’ve been gaining weight like crazy since I got it out in and no amount of me eating healthier and working out has helped I’m still gaining it.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so what was the outcome? I’m more than likely going to get it removed and get on the pill when my appointment arrives.

Thanks y’all!
