Ok, I had my mirena inserted 7/17/08, mind you I haven't had any kids yet. From that day forward it has been hell. I called my doctors office because the pain was so bad that I couldn't even stand up straight. They told me that this was normal and it will get better. After two weeks of calling I finally called with an attitude and told them, something is WRONG. I went in and seen a doctor, my doctor wasn't in that day. As this doctor went to do the exam he said I don't see the string. I freaked out, they sent me for ultrasounds, still couldn't find it. Long story short, they tried to tell my it expelled my body, well after they did more xrays they found it in my abdomen. Since I have had it surgically removed, I have been in pain, it was done on the 2nd of August 2008. I am still bleeding, not like a period but enough for annoyment. I also, haven't been able to have sex because of all the pain I have been in. I am now seeing another doctor because I basically had to tell my last doctor what to do, I felt I should see another doctor. He is waiting to see if my bleeding will stop on its own in the next few weeks, if not then we are going to do another laproscopy to see what the problem might be. I am on birth control, have been since a week after the removal of the mirena. Is there anyone else out there that might be going through the same thing as I am? This is really disturbing, I thought I was getting better for a few days then, again I start bleeding. The pains are sometimes unbearable, but they are not cramps, they are shooting pains. I am sick of taking pain meds. If there is someone else out there that can relate please respond. Thank you

Hi. I've had the Mirena in since Feb 07 and until last Wed, all had been great. I loved it! I tried to feel for the strings and felt a toothpick like stick protruding from my cervix. They removed it and I bled right away a lot. Now it has been a while and I started bleeding again with terrible cramps. I wonder if it's my period or if it's normal to cramp this long...

I wish I could help you more with your situation but I can say I feel for ya.

Was wondering.. how common it is to have the IUD go into the abdomen?

They say 1 in 1000 for perforation. I am still slightly bleeding but am in pain, probably about a 5. I called the doctors office and they told me to go to er. I have an appt tomorrow so I am just going to wait until then. I just want to know if there is anyone else out there that has had there uterus perforated and is going through the same thing as I am. That way I will be more calm about the situation, I have been on some many other web sites and I can't find anyone to reply that has had the same thing.
I appreciate your input and wish you the best. Did your doctor put you back on some type of birth control? They put me on birth control a week after all of this so I want to know why I am still bleeding (spotting, big spots) still. I mean it's been 3 months.

I've been reading this board ever since I had a problem with Mirena earlier this year (removal in late July), and I know I've seen other people post about perforation. This board has so many that post about their Mirena problems, you may have to go back several months. Do a search on this board for Mirena + perforation and/or abdomen and you should find something.
