OMG! And I thought I was dying! LOL I am having the same problems... I have been hurting badly right above my stomach. I have had a lot of nausea and gas. Also, I have had problems with diarrhea for the first 2-3 months of having it. I have had cramping and frequent urges to use the bathroom and go to the bathroom about anytime I eat something. And I fell butterflies in my stomach... and sometimes flutters like I felt when I was pregnant. I was never like this before. I spot bleed a lot. I wish they would have told me that the spot bleeding could be a daily event. I would have bought stock in Tampax and Always. LOL N e ways... I told my mother about the pain I had been experiencing and she thought it was my gallbladder. I went to my doctor and they ran tests. She told me that my gallbladder was fine. I called my gyno and told her about what I had been experiencing and asked her if it was linked to the Mirena and she told me it could be... that with time my problems would get better, but she would take it, but to think about it. After reading all of your postings I believe I will call and make an appointment tomorrow. I was just telling my husband how I miss feeling normal... well like I did before the baby and the mirena. Did anyone get theirs removed? And if so did your problem resolve? ERT

Hey, Ert.

Here are a couple of my posts since having it out....

It's now out! Not to bad a procedure, just an odd feeling, no pain etc. The Dr said that she is sure the coil was causing my problems, headaches, anxiety, bloating etc. Finally nice to see someone believing! She asked me about a discharge & I said it was about the same, if not a little increased with an underlying odour. She was very concerned about this & the cramps. She felt my tummy & did an unternal prior to removal. I was very tender in spots. She did the removal & repeated the internal & I was instantly less tender! I couldn't believe it! She said my strings were too low down, so they either weren't cut enough or my body was trying to expel the device. She did swabs as she thinks I have an infection. I have 3 lots of antibiotics to take! She is apposed to placing the Mirena at the time of termination. She said it is hard to tell if the infection is because of the termination, or the insertion of the coil.... I fell better already, but that is probably physiological at this point. I am bleeding, but only streak as I wipe & some very mild cramping!

DH, I know how you feel! It is horrible! I had mine out on Tuesday. It was the best thing I had done! My anxiety/breathlessness has gone already. No headaches. My head feels clearer. I am less moody already...hubby said that I seem much happier since Tues pm, back to my old self. Slight cramps, but again probably to do with the infection we suspect I had. I am not tired. I am not having night sweats. Today I did a whoole heap of stuff around the house that I haven't had the energy for before now! The best thing,....last night I wanted to be intimate with hubby! For the first time since I had it fitted! Not that we could, not protected, infection etc...but what a breakthrough!

i've been experiencing similar sounding pains to yours, and the doctor half suspects gallstones, i'm having a scan done some time within the next couple of weeks to have a look. this only started at christmas 2 months after it was put in. he is confused now though because the pains are now on both sides, just under my rib cage area. im also suffering with anxiety and depression so the pains could be that i suppose. i've been having a bit of heart burn and gas, i'm always belching- nice!

I've had mine out for 2 weeks now and I wouldn't say I was feeling that much better. Mine was in for 2 1/2 years. My face just exploded and I've had like 4 days of bleeding throughout the 2 weeks. My husband has said my mood seems to be better and when I notice myself getting moody it doesn't seem to last as long. My Naturopathic doctor told me it would take me at least three months for my hormones to level out. I've created a blog to follow my progress after having the IUD removed if you want to check it out at

Good Luck
