Can Mirena fall out?

Hello everyone sorry about your horrible experiecne with mirena. Everyone body take things diffrently and i just wanted to vouch for the people who are affraid to try it. I was affraid at once listening to the people who have had the bad experiences and so far i have been on mirena for almost 2 years and its been great. I got it inserted 2 months after i had my son. I lost all my weight and I havent gained any wieht or anything. They say evey birth control will incresae your appitie but its your responsibility to control what you eat and not over do it. I am very active and i try to exercise everyday, and even with that whole year of not exercising i still gained no weight. and when you first get it the first three months are probably the hardest because your body is adjusting to the new changes. but to the people who dont like it i apologize that your experince wasnt a great one. but i enjoy my mirena for now and hope you all can get some help from my comment. :-D

I had Mirena after my first son was born and loved it for the 10 mo I had it.  I had no side effects and became pg my first cycle after having it out. 

I had a second Mirena placed after my next son was born and had it for 1.5 yrs until Dh and I were "celebrating" our anniversary and the next day I had horrid cramps all day.  When I woke up the day after I felt fine and took a bath and checked my Mirena strings and the whole thing was in my hand.  It has been 4 days since it came out (but 5 if I were to assume that it was not in place Sunday) and I've had no spotting, bleeding or other changes to date.  I'm moderately concerned I may be pg but will wait for at least a few weeks to test- I refuse to take bc pills and have told dh we'll be using condoms until he gets "fixed" (which was supposed to have happened by now).  I'd get another but I'm pretty much done with it- I'd like a 3rd and dh not so I've basically put the ball in his court.

For people considering it I'd say my experience with it (except the whole falling out thing) was pretty positive compared to my prior experiences with bc pills (which did for me cause acne, weight gain and severe loss of sex drive- dh called them "abstinence pills").  My only complaint about the Mirena would be a "fluttering" feeling (similar to early baby movements) that it caused- but no cramps, pains, weight gain, mood swings or other negatives I've heard others have experienced.  I do agree with comments I've read here and elsewhere about the medical community refusing to accept/admit that there are issues with Mirena and resistance at removing it for complaints pertaining to Mirena side-effects.

hi, i have had Mirena put in 2 years ago. Since, I've started it, I 've been  in a very hipervmood. besides, whats really odd, that scares me so much was that tonight, I was sittin in front tye computer and my fiancee waalked in and he said - " ur thing  is on the floor"??? Me beeing a little buzzed looked down and it's my MIRENA!!!!!! How is that possible?? I had it inserted over 2 years ago, and was told in order to get it removed had  to get my period. So , I'm so devistaited, cuz I diddn't even see it fell out. He walked in the room and he said ur thing is out???? What thing?? I looked down and there it was??!!!! I'm devistated! Is that possible? I thought of taking it out , but I was told that thay can only remove it when u get ur period. It happened just tonight and I'm so shocked, devistated and embarrased. What's ur idea on that. ?? Please, let me know! Kasha

WOW I'M SITTING HERE READING ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT MIRENA AND IM SHOCKED I'VE HAD MINE IN FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND I HAVE BEEN IN SO MUCH PAIN HAVING CRAMPS, SPOTTING,SOMETIMES I HAVE HAD A FULL PERIOD WHATS EVEN WORSE MY PERIOD STOPPED COMPLETELY, 8 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT PLACED. ONE DAY I WAS CRAMPING SO BAD I WENT TO THE ER AND THEY GAVE ME A SHOT IN MY BUTT GAVE ME SOME PAIN PILLS AND TOLD ME I WAS HAVING A PERIOD, DIDN'T EVEN CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS STILL THERE, NOW EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS I THINK ITS JUST A PERIOD NOW JUST YESTERDAY I START BLEEDING REALLY BAD I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO!!!!!! 

Heads up....YES it can fall out on it's own!!!!  My daughter got the Mirena two years ago and has suffered depression, mood swings, chronic vomiting and severe abdominal cramps!  It gets worse...she was suffering severe abdominal cramps with a fever so I took her to the ER.  After blood work was taken it was discovered that she was pregnant and her WBC count was doubled.  She is now going through testing because the Mirena cannot be found and she may be suffering from an ectopic pregnancy or a dislodged Mirena that may have embedded into the wall of her uterus!  I am praying that she gets through this without losing a fallopian tube....but it is a huge possibility!  PLEASE....PLEASE....PLEASE.....choose a safer, more reliable form of birth control!

 

I was told i could have sex that day. And my fiance says they poke him too. My obgyn had cut them as short as he could, he couldnt do it all the way or it wouldnt be able to be removed. You just gotta learn the way to position yourself for him not to feel it lol.

I have had my mirena for 16 months.  I love it.  Around the time it was placed, I had started weight watchers so I don't know if it would have made me gain weight but I lost 5 pounds immediately and I thought that was because I stopped taking the pill.  I have not had a period in about a year.  My sister has one too and we both complain about oily complexions and pimples that hurt really bad.

This week I have been really nauseated at work and my sense of smell is unusually high like when I was pregnant.  Smells at work do not bother me and this week it did.  Just to be sure, I took a test and it was negative.  I checked for my strings and I can't feel them. They were there about 3 months ago.  I can feel a bump, but it's not exposed.  Called the dr. and the nurse told me that after so long the strings coil up and you may not be able to feel them.  The bump I'm feeling should be the knot of the mirena.  She did not seem concerned enough to schedule an ultrasound.  She said I would know if it would have fallen out.  I don't know.  I guess we will see.

 

 

Hello ladies so I had my Mirena put in Oct of 2010 and the thing about the wire poking your partner is true because my husband use to tell me that all the time, but 2 weeks ago my IUD came out on its own and i have had my period non-stop and we are on week 3 I am afraid of putting it back in has this happen to anyone please advise  :-(

I've had my IUD for a little over 3 yrs now, and Ive had no complications. I love it because I am extremely fertile ( 3 children, back to back on the pill with 2 of them)..anyway, umm like 2 days ago I was urinatng and I sneezed exceptionally hard, and ever since, Ive had pains down there like something is scratching me. Ive also felt contraction like pains in my lower abdomin except they were much much worse than labor.......Does that mean my mirena is falling out or is already out....I am going to consult my doc but just looking for other opinions first.........

PS-I didnt check the toilet when it happened bc I did have that pain immediately nor did I think a SNEEZE would have this type of effect.....

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I had the mirena put in after the birth of my daughter in 2008. When I went back for my annual it was gone. The doctor said that it came out on its own. They gave me an ultrasound to make sure that it wasnt embedded in my uterus.....and well it wasn't there. So yes the Mirena can come out on its own.

My friend had hers taken out in August and she bled non stop for a few weeks. Ended up she had to have a DNC done to make her stop bleeding. I advice you to go to your doctor and be checked out. They told my friend that had she waited any longer she would have gotten an infection and would have to have had a hysterectomy.

On my second Mirena. Had no problems until Friday. It feels as if the coil is 'hanging too low'! I've been losing bright red blood & large clots and have pain around the cervix. Gonna call GP in the morning in hope it can be realigned. Could really rather do without the blood loss though as I have ME which already leaves me in pain & with fatigue, the blood loss is making me appear anaemic and is adding to my malaise rather more than I can tolerate!

Hi. I've had Mirena since October; it's now December. After the insertion, my doctor told me to wait at least four days before having intercourse. Also, after the insertion, I started to have painful cramps. I asked my doctor how long the cramps would last and he replied with, "About five minutes, ten tops." Until the next morning, the cramps stayed steady.

Now, I've been cramping for the past day and 1/2, I've been concerned that the Mirena is falling out so I went to the Ladies Room to check and low 7 behold, I could feel the strings. I called my doctor immediately and I was told to come in asap.

I wouldn't advise any one to get the mirena. As far as the experience I've had with it, its horrible. Period. Dot. End of story.

Since I've had the Mirena, I've had no periods. However, I have had steady discharge that I've NEVER had before.

Can anyone give me info about having the Mirena removed? Does it hurt? Will I be in pain for several hours like I was after the INSERTION?
