I had the Mirena device inserted about 3 months ago, because I have some large fibroid tumors, and my bleeding each month is ridiculous. While I've always bled HEAVILY for about 5-7 days, then light for about 3-4 days after that, since the age of 14, it wasn't until last year that I was told about the fibroids. My options were either a hysterectomy or Mirena. I decided to try the Mirena. The first issue I faced was with the "installation". Apparently, I had an "s" shaped cervix, which made it very difficult to insert the IUC into my uterus. The first doctor spent about 45 minutes trying to maneuver it in place, which from my end felt like someone stabbing me with an ice pick repeatedly. It was horrible. After the 45 minutes of trying, she gave up and said she couldn't get it in. Seeing me on the table sobbing, she asked if I wanted to just forget it, or did I want to bring in another doctor and let him try it. I said I can't have gone through all that for nothing. Bring in another doctor and do what you have to do to get it in. Just get it done. The next doctor came in and repeated another 45 minutes of stabbing my insides, before he finally said he had gotten it in. I had to lay on the table for 30 minutes after that to stop shaking and crying. I would have never done it, had I know it was going to be like that. They said I was just a rare, 1 in 1000 case, that this had happened to. Lucky me. Well, the bleeding that was supposed to have stopped, instead continued on for the next 3 months. I told the doctor, and she said that was normal, and to give it a little more time. Yesterday, I had horrible cramps all day and extreme lower back pain. I've never had cramps with my periods in my life. The only time I'd ever had any cramping or back pain was when I was in labor with each of my kids. That is what this felt like, and it went on all day. Then, last night, I felt a huge gush of blood start pouring out of me. I ran to the bathroom, and it was like my insides had fallen out. It scared me and I considered going to the hospital, but the bleeding seemed to subside after about 30 minutes. When I got up this morning and took a shower, as I was bathing, I felt the strings protruding out of my body, (which by the way feel like wires more than strings, so now I understand why they asked if the device had bothered my boyfriend). I'm afraid to pull it out, in case my uterus is still attached to it, but I will be calling my doctor this morning to schedule my hysterectomy. So just as I thought, I was in labor, only I gave birth to an IUC instead of a baby. Apparently I'm also the 1 in 1000 person, whose body rejects the device and gets rid of it on its own. Enough already!
