For reference, I am 23 years old. I got the Mirena IUD put in 1/30/08 and I got it taken out today. For the first several months i bled and cramped a lot. Once that passed, i was doing good and only spotted every once and a while. Well, for the last 3 months i got my period. It was heavy and I cramped a lot. During this time I also started feeling distant from my close friends and family. I felt a horribly weird sensation of a fluttering in my uterus, almost like when you are driving really fast and go over a hill, how your tummy gets that weird feeling. It felt much like that except it was in my uterus and it started happening all the time. I have also gained like 20 pounds. I haven't been able to sleep at night. I was having sharp pains in my ovary areas. I had it removed today after 15 minutes of my dr. stalling almost as if he absolutly did not want to remove it. I just kept repeating myself until he finally called in the nurse to observe. I am not good at paps or anything else that has to do with strangers invading my lady parts to begin with. So i was sorta freaking out in my own little world while he poked and prodded away. He was good about asking me if I was okay and if it hurt, but im not one to go and answer these types of questions when im in that much distress so it's okay if they talk but i don't like talking to them back. I'd rather they just get it done and over with. Well, I felt him tug and after a few good ones he got it out. That was a Horrible feeling! I almost cried! Then he just started talking to the nurse and since he is foreign i have no clue what he was saying to her, WITH the thingy still stuck in me!! I was so worried and this went on for about two minutes.. Then i asked if we were all done and once he took it out I noticed that the IUD was in a container but there was another small container with a bloody chunk in it!!! sorry if tmi...when i asked what it was he said that "a bit of tissue came out with the IUD and they were going to send it to the lab. I could tell he was trying to act like everything was fine but if everything was FINE...why would tissue come out too? I'm in a state of panic right now and don't know quite what to think at this point. I would NEVER suggest anyone getting Mirena. The bad side effects plus the removal are NOT worth it at all. This should be banned! If i would have known what i do now i would never have gotten it to begin with. I am now dreading the "crash" hopefully it isn't as bad to me as others. I am a single mother of a child with disabilities...if i get this "crash" thing, things are get difficult fast. Hopefully I start feeling normal again soon.
