Pantyliners symptoms and conditions

I received the MIRENA on Jun 9th 2008, the doctor inserted the Mirena while I was on my cycle. After the insertion my cycle stopped. Its been a month now and I received my cycle for the month of July last week. Since then I have been spotting and wearing pantyliners. So, Tuesday I went for my 6 weeks checkup and explained to my Gyn what I've been experiencing with the Mirena which she said it was normal. I explained that my partner could feel the strings and if she could cut them down. When she went in to cut them down the string were not there. I have a sonogram scheduled on the 28th to see where my strings are. I am am very alarmed and concerned of where they are and why she couldn't see them. I asked is this something i need to be concerned about and she said no,,,,I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this at all. I chose the mirena due to high blood pressure and not being able to take the pill, but now I really don't know if all this was worth it. Im tired of the spotting etc.......No sex drive.....I've had migraines for yrs so I cant say its from the Mirena.

I am 41 yrs old and have been suffering with very heavy, clotting periods for the past 5 years. During those 5 years, I tried several different hormone therapies to control the bleeding, but every one of them caused extended periods lasting 10-12 days with only a week or two of no bleeding in between. I went to the GYN and her recommendation was to try the IUD as a way to lessen the bleeding and help treat migraines I also have during my cycle. I had the IUD inserted on Feb 12, 2008 and have experienced the following ever since: very sharp pains in my abdomen, constant minor cramps, extreme bloating so that my clothes do not fit, nausea just enough to not want to eat, constant light bleeding forcing me to go through several pantyliners a day, and very sore and full-feeling breasts that remind me of the days of nursing my baby, night sweats which I've NEVER experienced before. I do not have any desire for sex, but that is partly due to the constant bleeding. I went to the ER for the sharp pains in the abdomen to check for IUD perforation, but all their x-rays and CT scans showed it was in place. The CT scan showed a small spot near one of my ovaries that was 'explained away' as probably a result of ovulation. In all my years, I've never felt ovulation to that degree, this pain was a stabbing feeling from the inside. I decided to follow the GYN's recommendation to keep the IUD in at the time, but I now have an appt in two weeks to have it removed. I thought I had researched all there was to find about this hormonal IUD before my decision to have it placed--if I had come across this forum at that time, I would have said no. I was a little hesitant to go this route, putting a foreign object inside my body, but didn't listen to my own instinct at the time. I wish I had now, and I will definitely share my story with others so that they will be well informed before making this decision. My next options (as I am finished with having babies) are either thermal ablation or hysterectomy--at this point, I would welcome the hysterectomy because it would make all this bleeding/cramping STOP!

my niece just got on singulair she thinks she is dying she gets so hot her temp was 102 she can't eat anything without vommiting she also has a discharge she now has to wear pantyliners and take monistat due to this medicine. she gets dizzy and is very depressed she has to go into counseling since the doctors say they cant find nothing wrong with her.she never had this many problems before this medication they call singulair. keep this in mind all you mothers out there reading this imagine buying monistat and pantyliners for your 7 year old daughter because of singulair.

Well, I have been taking Ovcon for a few months now. Every month my side effects are different. (I am 22)

In the first month, my breasts got really large. but it did not bother me. i gained 1/2 cup size, but the second i started the white pills, they went back down.

The second month i had horrible acid reflux problems.

The third month I felt great but my period was really light and lasted a whole week. i only had to wear pantyliners.

the fourth month i was so very bloated, and my period was very heavy but only two days long.

so far this month (i'm only on day 4) I have been very mean. I feel very depressed and defensive.

I don't really have any major qualms with Ovcon, but I wish it was more consistant from pack to pack.
