If you have a history of uterine fibroids I would NOT use the Mirena! I have a history of uterine fibroids. Had Operative Hysteroscopy in Oct. 2006. In June 2007 started having symptoms of another fibroid. (I didn't know that at that time and I know now through researching it on-line.) I had the Mirena inserted in Nov. 2007. Complications in or about Jan. 2008. Large uterine fibroid discovered. Hysterectomy recommended and performed in April 2008. Went to Mirena website and it states WHO SHOULD NOT USE MIRENA. and on the list was... Have a condition of the uterus that distorts the uterine cavity, such as large fibroid tumors. My doctor should have never recommended this IUD! Here is a quick list of my large fibroid symptoms after the IUD was inserted.. brown foul smelling discharge pressure in the pelvic area pressure on the bladder which made it hard to urninate severe constipation enlarge abdomen severe pain in the pelvic area during intercourse. I'm try if these side affects are to graphic but this is what happened after this IUD was inserted. If you are considering using this IUD and have a history of uterine fibroids I highly recommend having an ultra sound performed. If you already have this IUD and are having similar symptoms insist on having an ultrasound.

I agree with you. I have uterine fibroids and after several years of wondering what was the best option for me to try, I tried the mirena inserted in Jan. 2009. When my period started after the mirena insertion, I have not stop bleeding yet. I am going in on Menday, 16-Mar-2009 to have it removed. I have been bleeding enough blood clots to fill up an 8 ounce cup. I pray to almighty God that when its removed that GOD will heal my body back to normal. These doctors are all about money some of them do not care what your body goes through. When you try to tell them then it's you and not the medication. My trust is in almighty God. Once I have this removed, I will look to God for my next option - not the doctor.

i had a hysterscopy and removal of posterier fibroids on june 15 2009 and the gyno virtually insisted i have a mirena to stop further fibroids now i am worried!!!!!! i also have an inverted uterus and it says on the packaging you should not use it if you hav an inverted uterus. i had a strong feeling on the day i may be getting used as a guinea pig. i could be wrong but i am very worried.

i am 44 and had a currette a hysterscope and removal of posterier fibroids on june 15 2009. the gyno virtually insisted that i get a mirena or the fibroids would return. having researched it earlier i didnt want it and told him he said he would only insert it during surgery if he thought i needed it. i told him only if i need it. i woke up with it though i didnt really want it at all. i am really concerned. i have an inverted uterus and it says even in the booklet for people wth inverted ueterus it is not recommended. i felt at the time..... because the gyno was so insistant that he was going to use me for a guniea pig. now i am really freaking out after what i have read. i am feeling very nervous and anxious. i am contemplating having it removed next week. i am 44 years old
