I have had my IUD in for about 10 months now and developed a bad odor about 4 months ago. (FYI I have never had that problem, EVER) It is driving me crazy! I refuse to have sex with my boyfriend of 10 yrs because of the odor. He thinks I'm cheating on him, because he just don't understand how uncomfortable I feel. It's not only that but I have noticed that I have a very sharp pain where my left ovary is every time after I have an orgasm. I bleed three weeks out of the month and have been finding myself getting dizzy and looking like hell. I am getting this thing removed asap. I will post back if my complications go away, and if so I'd recommend you all do the same. Forget this c**p!

I finally got my IUD removed...when i went in for pap...the IUD was already have way down..so Dr had to remove it....she said that is probably the reason for the odor...was getting loose and working its way out. Whatever the reason...just glad its out and never again. Went back to the good ol' pill! No more odor!!

not sure what to do, did not want to go back on the pill and have hormones messed about with again but i am thinking that my only option would be to get sterilised! as doctor's have already said that they recommend i don't get pregnant again!... got to do something though as i cant cope with the smell

Regarding the odor, you should definitely get tested for a urinary tract infection (UTI). That was the cause of my fowl odor. As soon as I completed the round of antibiotics, the odor was gone. Please let me know if that's what you find out. I was shocked because I didn't have the normal symptoms of a UTI, but, indeed, that's what was causing the odor. Best of luck!

I use the Rephresh BUT the cost of having to buy 3 & 4 boxes a month just to battle with this is ridiculous. I can no longer deal with the insecurity having this thing in is causing!

i have the IUD Mirena and i have the same thing going on dont feel bad i read in other post you can douche with it so i am going to try that if you have tried that and it still isnt gone i would talk to the doctor because the IUD does make you at a higher risks for infections

I had the mirena iud in for abOut 6 months. I developed a horrible, fishy/ rotten odor that was constantly there. The smell was so bad I wOuld wear tampons almost everyday even when I wasn't on my period to somewhat "trap" the smell in. I felt awful ad self conscious all the time. I felt like people could smell me when I walked by. Before the mirena I never had this problem. I had my mirena removed almost 4 weeks ago and I am completely odor free ! I had so many issues with the mirena and after doing this reading of women and their stories I realized even more problems I was havIng but hadnt related to the mirena. I had become depressed, ultra emotional, mood swings, I was all around unhappy and in a fog. I feel like a brand new person since I got it removed. Ladies if u have a mirena get it removed and if u are considering this as a birth control for the future please reconsider ! It is horrible !!!!!

I got the mirena about 5 months ago and when I first it I always had really bad pains in my lower stomach so I assumed from the beginning something was wrong. I went to the doctor and they said everything was just fine. Just about a week ago I started noticing this very fowl smell coming from that area, Im so worried about the smell that I wont even let my fiancee come near me. If its really not an infection than I wont be to worried about it, has any of you been to the doctor to get the smell checked?? If so, what did they say??

Did your doc check your for a UTI? That was my problem, and after I took a round of antibiotics for it, the smell went away. Hope this help and has not come back.
