Hi I had the Mirena inserted a month ago and The insertion was slightly painful but manageable...that night I had severe cramps sorta like cramps after I had my daughter 8 months ago.. I have not gained any weight...but I have not stopped bleeding in a month staight and not spotting HEAVY bleeding... I alreayd have back problems so I dont see a differance but when I went to the bathroom I notices something on the tissue so I looked and it was a little piece of the string (looks like fishing string) anyways I dont know if thats safe.... My husband is returning froma 15month deployment in Afghanistan and Im still bleeding!! AHH and it has all the period symptoms I feel like I can smell blood all the time@! Grose! Also I am having hot flashes too and I am 22...I also have shakes and my heart beats extremely FAST like Im having a panic attack just happened last nite... After I got on the MIrena I was told I have sebboreha on my face below my nose.. I am a esthetician so this is bad for me ...noone else can see it but I know its there and Ive had perfect skin...

Leah - I don't think it's normal for a piece of the string to expel from your body.....I think you should call your Dr ASAP. Although I spotted for what seemed like forever, and it wasn't heavy like yours, I, too, felt like I could smell blood all the time....I guess because it was there!! The heart palpitations and anxiety as well as hot flashes....had them all. It only got worse so after 5 1/2 months I had it removed. I am 43, though. My skin went to pot after never having had skin problems in my life.....now, after 2 months post-removal, it's completely clear again. Good luck to you but I really think you should call your Dr about the string thing and to make sure your bleeding is within the "normal" parameters.
