Uterus lining symptoms and conditions

OMG! I had Mirena put in Nov. 2007. Recently I had pain enough and spotting right after my period. I went in and during the exam my new ob said she could not feel or see it! I had a ultrasound which showed a cyst on my ovary that burst causing the pain but NO MIRENA! on May 4th. The OB said that I must have past it and she could not do anything until I started again. I started and contacted my previous OB (who put it in) and the nurse was stunned! She said they just don't fall out. I had an xray today and we found it......in my stomach lining! The OB isn't worried that about it but everyone I talk to wonders how it will keep from moving on around! The nurse said it would take major surgery now to remove the Mirena from my stomach. How does this go through the uterus lining? Are there holes in my uterus and stomach? How could this not be concerning to my previous OB? I have called the 888# on the back of the Mirena brochure and reported adverse side effects that the operator highly suggested to surgically remove the Mirena. I asked if they would pay for the removal but she gave no response. Of course with tough times we don't have the money for such a surgery but my husband and I are worried about further complications this may create. After reading many of these I know now where my mood swings and irritations come from-my poor husband, 8 yr old and 1 1/2 yr old!
DO NOT GET AN IUD IF YOU DO NOT NEED TOO. BEWARE!!!

I got it placed in about a month ago and since that time I almost stated immediately with cramps, then headaches, oily skin and acne (like I was 12), instantly mad with hot flashes, started to get a little facial hair and the worst thing of all about week 3 I noticed all my hair was starting to fall out. OMG OMG so I called the GYN and of course everyone said, "oh no it's not the mirena". I am telling you, i was fine before that damn thing was inserted and it was only a month ago. I swear I feel like they just sewed a penis on me and I am slowly turning into an angry man! Oh also the bleeding never stopped during my 1 month deal and it just went from red and heave to brown and smelly and back to red and sorta heavy. very unrealiable periods. The men in our lives can deal with the blood every once in awhile but heck I cant blame by guy, heck i don't even wanna have sex with me! I just got it removed on Friday and I am hoping that I start to grow my hair back (not grow hair on my back - ha) I also hope my headache (both tension and migraine like) stop. I hope to god that my immediate anger level stops (I was NEVER like that). I also asked my dr. to test my testosterone levels to see if that damn thing is messing with our testosterone levels cuz I would swear that I was turning into a man or someone was putting steroids in my kool-aid. Also, my blood pressure is now high so anyway.... long story short is IF you DON'T have to get one of these things don't. I had to get mine because my uterus lining is thick and they wanted to reduce my changes of getting uterine CA - now what they hell am i gonna do. I wish to $#%^ I would known all these side effects. Now I just have to decide what to do now.

This shot has worked well as to not having to take pills everyday , but i waited about 6 months before i got it again usually you take it every 3 months well i had uterus lining tissue coming out of me, the dr said from the depo shot all the hormones placed in my body, i couldn't handle it and my body was losing tissue, i was bleeding off and on, somedays i would be full of energy others i would be sleepy, i started eating more, after taking this a year i have gained about 15 pounds, i quit taking it nov. and still have yet to have a period!!!!
