So I went to see a CNM today about getting my mirena removed, and she couldn't do it! The strings are hidden inside of my cervix and she couldn't get them swabbed down enough to bring them out so she could grab them. She poked and prodded me down there for almost an hour before giving up. I had to go have an u/s to see if the mirena is still where it should be, because she is worried about the possibility of it being embedded into my uterus. I haven't heard back from her yet on the results. If it's still in place, then I have to make another appointment for a week or two from now to see if within my cycle things will shift enough for her to be able to get the strings to come out. I am very upset about all this. I just wanted to have it out today and be done with it. Now it's an issue. My husband is a soldier and can't just take a day off when need be. I scheduled the appointment today specifically around his schedule. Now we have to try and schedule another one and it's an hour drive both ways. I'm crampy and sore from all the poking around in my cervix and I'm still stuck with this damn MIRENA! "Easily reversible birth control" my butt!
