I had a Mirena inserted in December 2008. The pain of having it inserted was almost unbearable. Three weeks after I got it, I started having severe pain in my right side. I really liked not having periods, so I was in denial that the Mirena could be causing the pain. I had a CAT Scan done and an IVP done, and both came back fine. I had prescription pain killers, but nothing would help this pain in my side. I even went to my OB/GYN, but he said the Mirena couldn't be causing that kind of pain. Finally, in May 2009, I had the Mirena removed. As soon as the doctor took it out, he said that it had been in the wrong spot. Instead of being up in the wider part of my uterus, it was just above my cervix. He said that was definitely what had been causing the pain. As soon as he took it out, I started feeling better, and I haven't had any pain like that since. The pain had been the worst part, but I also gained about 10 pounds and lost quite a bit of hair while I had the Mirena.
