I think I know how Mirena works now.. You don't get pregnant because you never want to have sex!!.lol.. At least that is my experience. I had it put in about 4 months ago, and have completely lost my sex drive. I have tingling in my arms and hands all the time now, my whole body aches, and I feel flutters in my stomach as if I were pregnant (even though I'm not).My breasts also hurt like heck! I feel confident in its effectiveness but don't want these side effects anymore!! I also was told that using Mirena is like always having an abortion.. does anybody know if that is true?? I wasn't informed this when I had it put in... I was just told that the hormones stop you from getting pregnant, If any of you ladies have any answers to my questions that would be great!!

"Severe infection, miscarriage, premature delivery and even death can occur with pregnancies that continue with an intrauterine device (IUD). Because of this, your healthcare provider may try to remove Mirena, even though removing it may cause a miscarriage. If Mirena cannot be removed, talk with your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of continuing the pregnancy."

The chances of getting pregnant with a Mirena still inserted are about 2 in 1000 Mirena users. If you are one of those unlucky ladies the baby probably will not survive because of the Mirena. In my opinion, that is kind of like abortion because the product does what it says it does. It stops you from having another baby.

As I mentioned in my previous post, my little sister was one of the unlucky two out of a thousand to get pregnant with the Mirena. Because of that and all of the fear of what will happen to the baby and my sister, I will never use this product. When a product like this deals with life and death, the best way in my opinion is just to avoid it all together.
