Hello I don't know if it is Mirena or not. It was placed almost...

hi you mentioned your elevated sed rate, is that same as esr? mine is also elevated since mirena mine went up to 119 at one point, is now around the 34 area. being tested for all sorts now including lupus.

Well I wish I had found this site before I put it in. I feel a bit mislead by my doctor because they didn't really explain the side effects. I know I know I should have done my own research but they just practically sold it like it was a great thing. I mostly got it because my periods are so painful. I had no idea the pain I would experience in getting it put in. I screamed out in pain while it was being done. It was the worst experience I have ever had. I probably experienced more pain than others would since I have never had children and my doctors says that is why my periods are so bad too. The first day I had unbearable cramps which I have lessened quite a bit. I still find myself taking advil a couple of times a day. I still am bleeding. Honestly, I would put up with all of that but the main issue I am experiencing is No Sex Drive at all. At first I thought it was just because I had just gotten it put in, but now I realize it is a side effect. My boyfriend is begging me to take it out and I have made an appt to get it removed. I hope it is not as painful to have it removed. Can someone tell me?

My removal was painless but I have had children and my insertion was not that bad.

I don't know if it's the IUD or not. I've been having pretty much the same symptoms - except I haven't had the sed rate checked - but I've had LOTS of stomach problems that the GI doctor said is IBS, LOTS of pretty severe pain in my low back (below my waistline) and into my right side. I'm about to go out of my mind with fear over ovarian cancer...these are a lot of the symptoms! I'm about to go and have my IUD pulled just to see if some of these symptoms will be alleviated once it's gone. I hope that's all it is. I'm tired of worrying about it!
