Further update. I went to get my mirena taken out but the doctor couldn't find the threads, she fished about for a bit while I laid in agony, still couldn't find them. I was then given a scan and they couldn't see it on the scan so I was sent up for an x-ray. Thankfully it showed up on the xray, it has got lodged somewhere in my pelvis/groin. Been sent away to wait for the gyny to call me to get me in for surgery, she isn't there until Monday so I have to somehow get through the weekend, they didn't even give me any pain killers. Please let me know if you know of anyone who has experienced this. I do think I've just been unlucky with the whole mirena experience, sadly its not over yet though!

HI, there are several women on here who have also lost their strings and had to have it surgically removed. Just read back as far as you can and you will see thier posts eventually. That is probably why you are having so much pain. I am so greatful that did not happen to me!! On my first IUD (not the MIrena), the strings got lost but the doctor somehow fished it out (extremely extremely painful). It took forever but thank God I didnt have to have surgery. I really feel for you!! But just hang in there, it will be out soon OK?
