Aged 40 and with an 8 year old son, I had Mirena coil fit on 1st August after having the depo injection for almost 2 years and being fed up about my weight gain. I was advised by doc that there was no weight gain with Mirena as the hormone was local rather than in your blood system. I was in absolute agony around half an hour afterwards. It felt like I was having contractions every 3 minutes. Rang doctor and was told to take Ibuprofen along with Paracetamol, which I did. The cramps didn't subside until around 5 hours later. I was in tears with the pain. I suffered for around a week after with period pains. All seemed ok after, other than I checked and couldn't feel the strings. I also asked my partner to check and he couldn't feel them......I went last week for my four week check and neither could the nurse! I am now going to have a scan on Wed 10th Sept to see where it is! Can anyone tell me what happens after this....if they find it what will they do?

It sounds like perforation. When the uterus contracts, the Mirena can puncture it. Hopefully you won't have this problem. I'm wishing you the best of luck.

Hi, hopefully all goes well for you today. I just found out this morning that mine is outside of my uterus and I am having surgery today or tomorrow. I posted my story just a few minutes ago if you want to read it. Hopefully your's is still in your uterus but the strings just moved or the Mirena got out of place.
