didn't have Mirena, but another kind of IUC or IUD whatever you want to call it. I sure hope young women know they could die. Sorry to see these things back on the market. At age 21 I had complications, the device embedded in my uterus and became infected. No one wanted to admit it was the iud. The infection turned into acute peritonitis which is usually fatal. I did live, but had to have a complete hysterectomy. A bit extreme for a 21 year old. Spent 3 months in agony in the hospital. Took 2 years to recover. I had all the side effects associated with premature menopause - premature wrinkling, loss of interest in sex, not to mention no more kids for me. I later did some research to find out that stones were inserted into camels to prevent pregnancy during long trips. The camels died screaming in agony in the desert from the stones. It works about the same on women.

Thank you so much for writing your post! I'm a young girl too and was interested in the Mirena so I asked my OB. She was telling me about the chances and said it was possible to "perf". I didn't understand what she meant so she explained it was possible to perforate the walls of the uterus. She told me this WAY to casually saying her co-worker had once made that mistake. It had me really disturbed (like it should), but she said that if that happened it'd be no big deal. She said you'd feel instant pain, and eventually it'd subside. I asked if it would get infected or effect my chances of someday ever getting pregnant and she waved it off like no big deal. Thank you so much for telling your story. Oh, about the camels that's something my mom has cited in efforts to convince me to get an IUD. I guess she's never heard the rest of that story.
