Hello- I got my Mirena inserted about two and a half months ago. I got my first period and have not stopped bleed since. I also have a foul odor all the time that it very embarrassing!! My doc keeps telling me that I have Group Strep B and that I have always had it...I am 27 years old with two children. I have NEVER had any issues down there!!! I am beginning to think that my odor is a S/E from the Mirena. It's also very embarrassing when I am with my husband. He is very understanding and acts very cool about the whole thing, but I don't want him having to deal with this either. Has anyone else experienced an odor?? I did read that Vaginitis is a possible S/E with Mirena.

Alliecat this may very well have been caused by Mirena. Please take it out and wait a few weeks, see what happens then. Have a look at the curezone.com forum (search for the mirena side effects forum there, and then search for odor)

hello

U have had the mirena in for a year now. my skin has been alot better since taking it. now that I think about it... I did somewhat have a pregnancy feeling ever so often...no out of the ordinary mood swings though. and yes I do notice a weird smell....its like a copper metal smell....now this is all freaking me out, cause i'm only 21 and I found a lump in my left breast last night.

thats what lead me to this sight.
