I had the same problem when I was 22 and had the mirena places after I had my daughter. I was in the gynecologist office at least 20 times and all the doctors told me I was nuts. I got it removed and was free of symptoms for 2 years. I just started taking the pill an have all the same symptoms. Some people must just be sensitive to the hormones.

Ladies....I finally got my Mirena out one week ago. It was a little painful getting it taken out, but not near as bad as when I got it inserted. The first day I was fine. No bleeding, no cramping, nothing. But the second day....a different story. While I was at work, I started gushing blood everywhere. So much so that I had to go home and I remained at home taking sick days from work for the next 3 days. I bled heavily and at times, passing very large clots. I have not stopped bleeding since then. It does come in waves....sometimes it's just spotting, while other times it is a tidal wave! I am not sure how long this will last, but I hope my body returns to normal soon and my nightmare experience with Mirena will be a lesson learned.

I'm so glad I found this page. I was starting to feel like I was the only one. I'm married with a little boy. I've had my mirena since November '08 and I've had BV and yeast infec. a good 40 times. It's to the point were all I do Is call my doctor for Rx to b sent in... I don't even go in anymore. It's a waist of time and money. I've gotten uti s as well but only 4or 5. Can't wait to get it out in a year but at least I now kno that here's other woman like me. This should definitely be put down as side affects. It's aggravating for doctors to say mirena doesn't cause it when it obviously does. I didn't have issues TILL mirena....

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me
I had the mirena fitted nearly 9 weeks ago and have since only had 3-4 days where there has been no blood. I have had a lot of severe cramps and pains during sex as well as just random pains throughout the day. It feels as though the pains are exactly the same as the pain when I had mirena fitted which is why I presume it's linked. I have been told this is not linked and to persevere and give the mirena chance to settle in however just in the past week I have passed a very thick tissue that is not blood but seems as though it is something coming away from inside me...has anybody else experienced this? As I have previously had a misscarriage 14 months ago and I actually saw the foetus when I passed it and it reminded me of this. But when I passed this particular clot/tissue I had no pain of a misscarriage...and having mirena Im guessing the chances of me actually having been pregnant are very slim. I'm just so worried wondering if anyone could shed light onto this for me? Can't stop panicking! Thanks for your help x

hi i had mirana in for about a year and got it removed cuz i was bleeding the whole time and had bacterial infections constantly. i have never had one before i got the mirana. after i got it removed my periods went back to normal but everytime i get my period i get a bacterial infection. so cuz i off this i stopped using tampons cuz i thought that may be the problem but still now i only use pads and i still have the problem. idk what to do. i cant stand going to the doctor every month after i get my period. i know this all has to do with mirana. i am a very clean person. and have never had this problem in my life since i got mirana and when i got it removed.
