hi all. I have never taken these kinds of boards to heart before, but this time I am convinced. I had my mirena inserted 11 days ago and I am all ready to have it removed. It hurt when it was inserted, but I've had 4 natural deliveries, so I can tolerate a lot of pain. I was fine right after as far as cramping goes, but since having it inserted, I've constantly felt pregnant. Lower back aches, heavy bloated feeling, and the constant feeling of having a uti. That is the worst. I constantly feel like I have to pee and nothing comes out. But I go to the doctor and there is no bacteria in my urine. And now my hair is falling out. My gyn really pushed me towards this instead of having my tubes tied, that this worked better, but if I wanted to feel pregnant, I would just have another baby. I have an appt on Monday for him to check it. I may just have it removed and find another dr who will tie my tubes.

I have read your message. May I suggest a different kind of IUD... I am a huge advocate for the paraguard IUD. It is made of copper and has no hormones. The only side effect that I experienced was heavy mentrual periods. It is very similar to the Mirena but there are less side effects. This form of birth control lasts for 10 years. I had mine removed recently and it did not hurt coming out. The reason why I had mine removed was because my 10 years were up. I wanted the Dr. to put another one back in. I had fibroids and heavier periods so my Dr. suggested that I try Mirena or have a hysterectomy. I opted for hormone therapy. I have to tell you I liked the paraguard IUD much better. I would talk to your docor about the paraguard before getting your tubes tied. It is just as effective and it only takes 10 minutes to insert.
