Dead fetus symptoms and conditions

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on anything like this so please just hang in there while I explain my side effects. During the first few months of having the IUD, I did bleed sorta heavy but it wasn't a shocker to me because I have always been this way, then 3 months later, my periods were gone. Almost a year to date, I began to have a few problems; including thinking that I felt the IUD moving inside of me, it was like a scrapping feeling, but after 2 months of those pain it went away. So, in October 2008 I had the IUD removed and I felt great, but a little more depressed and gained about 12 pounds. In January, I found out that I was pregnant, which was really soon after having the IUD removed. Well, today is 2/16/09 I found out that the baby has died, which is very upsetting, not only because this is my first miscarriage, but because I almost got my husband fixed. I can't prove that the Mirena could have been the cause of this, but it is something to think about, I am going in for a D & C tomorrow, which is something like an abortion but it is for a dead fetus.

mirena DOES NOT prevent ovulation!! meaning you will still ovulate, but the sperm and egg cannot implant themselves which in turn will cause a miscarriage!! This is the same for all iud's, For some unknown reason docs will not tell you this, but my doctor did and strongly advises not to use iuds!! You will get pregnant! You may think your having a heavy period but really you could be passing a dead fetus! Sorry to be so blunt, please do research before you choose this method of birth control
