Abdominal tenderness symptoms and conditions

my ob/gyn recommended this IUD highly..said she had it in herself and it was great for all her patients...i read the physicians brochure on the mirena website and i think that should have been provided to me...if i had known that this thing causes blood pressure, anemia and blood sugar problems...i never would have gotten it since i already had those problems to begin with...i wasn't given enough info..i wish i had researched this better beforehand...the nurse wrote me last night and said it needed to come out as it has caused a pelvic infection from the insertion...this wasn't put in for birth control..as i haven't had anyone to be with in over a year anyway..it was put in to stop heavy bleeding...sounded like a great idea...i have every symptom you guys have had except fot the acne and hair loss issues...the anxiety and pain is the worst ever ..and sweating...geez...how long after it comes out does one get back to normal...i'd rather hear it from your experience...than listen to the "experience" of my doctor...i used to have the copper T and if it's still avail..i'm getting it back...i don't like the idea of hormones running loose that don't need to be...also if you read that brochure it increases breast cancer rates for some...and lots and lots of other symptoms...i expected the breast and abdominal tenderness and maybe some mood issues considering it was a hormone...but this is ridiculous....i'm 43 and feel 143! if i had the nerve i'd pull it out myself...but with my luck...something i need might come with it..lol ..don't need the reproductive junk anymore since that did it's job and there are no returns...i checked..lol...thanks for listening

I was only on NuvaRing for a month and had/have experienced serious side effects. I am currently fighting a second ovarian cyst with severe abdominal tenderness. I know these are typical, however, my first one came one week after stopping NuvaRing. As did many others, I experienced a lot of pain during intercourse and my husband could feel the plastic rubbing him which caused quite a bit of discomfort. In addition to the side effects, insurance does not cover the product well and it cost me $47.50! I wouldn't recommend the product but I think it is necessary to keep in mind that all forms of birth control work differently for each individual. If it works for you great, but if you begin to see any signs or symptoms out of the ordinary, take it out and consult your physician. (Remember when you take it out to use a back up method.)

spotting 2nd week into month and heavy bleeding/large clots started 3rd week into pills. This lasted almost 3 weeks. Dr. had to give me additional medication to take along with Yasmine to stop the bleeding cause it had caused mild anemia. Since starting the pill have had horrible nausea, dehydration, breast and lower abdominal tenderness, cry at the drop of a hat.and cramps that prevent me from doing anything. Also my bleeding was so heavy that even using tampons and pads together couldn't help for longer than 20 minutes. This is very frustrating because my Dr. refuses to switch my pill even after telling her that the pill I was on before caused me no problems and actually minimized my bleeding and cramps.

@ GUEST 13311,
You need to follow up with a doctor on that abdominal tenderness and swelling right away--it could be your gallbladder.
