I had Mirena inserted in Feb. 2007 and it was the most painful experience of my lif (and I have 2 children). I cramped and bled for weeks. All of which I was told was normal. I would have sharp pains that would come and go as well. On or about December 17, 2007 I was having terrible pains and became nauseated and was vomiting uncontrollably. I told my husband something was wrong and that I needed to go to the hospital. As he was trying to get the kids ready to bring me to the hospital I fell on the floor in pain and could not walk. My husband called the ambulance to have them bring me to the hospital. When I got there they thought I had a stomach virus or a ruptured appendix. After completing an MRI they found that the MIRENA was lodged in my fallopian tube and I needed to have emergency surgery to have it removed. I had to wait in agony and pain until the next day for them to perform the surgery and I am still recovering. DO NOT GET MIRENA!! We need to file a class action suit to get this product off the market. It is harmful and they lie and say there is a less than .1% chance of this happening which just isn't true.

What a horrible experience for you and your kids having to witness their mum is so much pain! I wish you a speedy recovery.
