I've had my Mirena IUD for over a year and had no problems with it until a few months ago when I began developing a very foul fishy odor, so bad I couldn't even stand myself! Even my husband could smell it through my clothes, so I wondered if my coworkers could smell me? It always happened late in the afternoon. I went to my gynecologist and I had BV and was treated. The odor persisted so she treated me again. The odor still persisted and I tested negative for everything. I began searching online and found all kinds of information with tins of women with the same complaints I had! I decided to have it taken out a couple weeks ago and after it was removed my mood was better! I was no longer angry and irritated at my husband. I git on a BC pill and now I notice my moods changing again. I still have this awful odor and negative on testing once more. Does anyone still have an odor after having IUD removed? Everything I've read once it's out it goes away, but not in my case. I'm at my wits end at what to do. How ling is this odor going to persist and will it ever go away? I don't want to douche and make things worse, plus that's only temporary. Should I call my gynecologist again and have her prescribe something?
