I had the mirena placed about 2 months ago, a year after my daughter was born. i was ready to start dating again and i figured this was a safe second protection for me. 2-3 weeks later i had a yeast infection, i've never had a yeast infection in my life, i'm 29yrs old. I was so scared i thought i had an STD. I scheduled an apt ASAP with my primary care Dr. yes it was a yeast infection but i did not think it was the mirena. After that my "girl" hasn't been the same. ive had this slight burning sensation all the time. my "girl" is swollen and irritated and i now have another yeast infection. I became concerned and started to research yeast infection and came across this site and instantly I knew what was wrong. i'm getting this thing out my body instantly. I'm also hypothyroid because of thyroidectomy surgery and thought my new symptoms were because my synthroid doses were being adjusted once again but now it seems the mirena is also to blame. Either way i'm getting the mirena out because of the yeast infection alone. this is making me crazy.

Thank you lord, i got to see my Dr. today and she took out the mirena and gave me something for my yeast infection and some cream for my "girl" i was irritated and a little swollen. She said if it doesn't improve within 3 months to come back for a biopsy. I will be fine now that the mirena is out. sometimes your body doesn't like foreign objects implanted where it doesn't belong. Always listen to your body, it wont steer you wrong. Good Luck everyone.
