Hi, I had the Mirena inserted in July 2008. When it was inserted it did not hurt much, I had little cramps during the rest of the day. The first few days it was ok then I started feeling somewhat sore down there and I felt like the Mirena was about to come out. So I went to the doctor he said he had to cut the string because it was too long. Ok. Afterwards I had my period for like ten days (it was very light). After that there was NO MORE PERIOD. Everything was going fine until I started feeling sudden cramps around my stomach (I'm thinking its the are where the mirena is inserted) but the good thing is that that only happens once in a while so I'm guessing thats normal. The thing that I DISLIKE the loss of sexual appetite, I pretty much had a very good sex life now I just don't feel comfortable anymore. After sex I feel somewhat sore and my husbands says he can actually feel the mirena sometimes. I don't like that loss of sex appetite and I do believe is because of the mirena because I was not like that. I don't know if I should get it removed or if this is a temporary symptom and it will go away or what?

Its not temporary. It only gets worse. And you will probably start to notice several new side effects coming on one by one. All of us on here have had it removed or are about ot and have a pronounced relief of side effects. Good luck to you.

If your husband says he can "feel" the Mirena implant I assume he means the strings as the rest of it is in your uterus, you should do a self-exam and see if it feels like the strings are too long or if there is anything protruding from your cervix. Perhaps your Dr. didn't cut the strings enough the second time or perhaps your body is trying to expell it? I understand some women do.
