Hi, I am a 34 year old mother of three. I got my tubes tied in Feb 2003. After that my periods were excruciating. My doc suggessted that I get the Mirena. I had it inserted in May 2007. Everything was going well after that. My periods were lighter and there was no pain. Well, in June 2008 I had a wreck. I was not hurt, but ever since then I have had really bad headaches and ringing in my ears. I thought that it could possibly be a case of whiplash, but I have had an EEG and MRI and neither one of them showed anything. Also, a couple of months ago I went to the emergency room because my back and stomach hurt. I thought I had a kidney stone. The doc said that I probably had a cyst on my ovary and that it would desolve. He gave me something for pain and sent me home. The 16th of December 2008 I started, what I thought was my period for Dec. It ended on that Saturday. Then on the 23rd of Dec I started again. I have been bleeding off and on since then. Also, when my husband and I have sex he can feel the Mirena but he says it doesn't bother him. Afterwards I have some spotting. I can't explain the ringing in the ears but everything else points to the Mirena.
