Ok so Ive had the stupid thing since July 2008... bad cramping about 6 months in- asked the doc to take it out- she talked me out of it... prescribed me ANOTHER hormone patch to counteract the side effects of the mirena... now for the past month (I have a new doctor-a man) I have had EVERY symptom of being pregnant that you could possibly have from boobies hurting to morning sickness. And Ive had every test (btw-my strings are MIA) urine- negative- Blood- negative- ultrasound- the bastard is still there and there is a spot that is "nothing". I am having it removed Friday and I am making him put me under. It was no fun to get put in, and it even hurt when he tried to "find" the strings"... I can only imagine what it is to get it out... And if I am one in like what 10 million that got pregnant on the damn thing- its going to result in miscarriage anyways. Yea my story with tis "wonderful" POS... But I do want to know for like 8 months now Ive had spots under my boobs like where my bra runs and along my bikini line.. they look kinda like sun spots and they aren't raised u can only see them... theyre kinda brown... anybody else???
