I had the Mirena fitted in August last year. I am 33 and never been pregnant. I did suffer from depression before and horrendous periods, hence why I had it put in, I didn't have it for birth control as I've been single the past year and a half. Anyway, I have NEVER felt pain like when i had it fitted, it felt like they were inserting a knife into my womb. I had to have a pain killer stuck up my bum cos I couldn't move. I was crying and screaming and just generally in a bit of a mess. It eased off after the pain killer. Ever since then I have had bad abdominal pains and even pain in my vagina and in my rectum, when I went for my 6 week check they said that things would improve and it was probably just hte shock of hte coil. I went to a different doctor after that and they said it wasn't related to the coil and that it was probably IBS and gave me antispasmodics. They have eased it and when I went back 2 weeks ago for the third time in agony they tested me for bowel cancer, chrons disease etc. All tests have come back clear and have now taken it upon myself to have it taken out on Tuesday. I can't bear the pain any more. At one point I thought I had appendicitis. I have been going to bed with a hot water bottle most nights and having hot baths. My periods never stopped and now I'm getting sore nipples for about a week before I'm due on. Another thing I've noticed is that I've been getting spotty shoulders, its gross!!! I'd be interested to know if anyone has had the same experience as me as far as hte pains go etc!!

hi, i'm 40. Strangely enough i was having these debilitating pains (before periods and in rectum as well) and they inserted the coil to stop them. I can't say they stopped - just became less often - as well as my periods.but overall, i feel so unhappy, as i gained about 7 pouns in 7 months and my stomach is very bloated. that makes me feel terrible and depressed. don't know what to do, as either way is no good...
