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.
