I had Mirena placed approximately a year ago, after my 3rd child as a temporary birth control sinc i was on a waiting list for tubal ligation. I knew something was gonna go wrong with this thing because from the beginning it was not "cooperating" My doctor was out that day and had another Doctor who was filling in for her place the Mirena, that thing just kept popping off and would not stay put. After 3 painful attempt she stated "it is now in, but the thread is too long so she went in and cut it more... oh now it's too short, but it is in place". I asked if it was in place and would it keep popping off since she was having problem placing it in....I was told no.... just check for the string constantly... After 3-4 months of cramping, abnormal bleeding, and spoting everyday, and not being able to feel that string, i figured it was all normal, and is that where the crabiness was coming from? After a year of placement, I went to my OB and she could not find the string... I thought it was just me, but just to make sure she called another doctor to check, they did ultrasound, and finally x-ray.... well they found it somewhere inside me, i don't exactly know where it is located, maybe inside my uterus? I still have to discuss these info with my doctor on wednesday to talk about my surgery... yes surgery, now i have to go thru surgery..... to remove the mirena that wandered off inside me, UGHhhhhh. I hate this mirena, had i known i would have to go thru this i would have just settled for the pill....... Hopefully after it is removed, the cramping would go away, spotting and abnormal bleeding, and i could go back to being a mom to my children instead of momster... and maybe i can now go to sleep on time And oh no more surgery again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
