My Side Effect Posts

Mirena I have had the Mirena for 5 months, due to the pain, bleeding, tiredness and lack of sex drive, I have only had intercourse once since then. At the insertion, my Gyn. told me he had to manually dilate me which was difficult for him and extremely painful for me. I was well informed of procedure and side effects, but I have never had any major problems in the past with any other type of birth control, so I did not think it was a big deal. I was wrong! After the insert, I was in excruciating pain even after taking several Tylenol 3 that I take for pre-existing back pain. The extreme constant abdominal pain, with frequent bought of stabbing breath taking pain, lasted for almost 2 weeks. Since then mod to severe pms pain that I never had problems with before M. Recently I have started having more frequent stabbing, breath taking pain on the left side of my uterus/hip area with pain that radiates down the front of my thigh and to my back. The last 2 weeks I started having thick, white, constant vag discharge. Yesterday I had the freakiest thing happen when I seemed to loose bladder control for a minute or two. Reminiscent of my water breaking with my daughter's birth. In the past I have been told by my Gyn. that my symptoms are normal. The more recent have led me to this site. The side effects of this product are much more than with most drugs/product that I have ever encountered. Usually side effect don't occur for the majority of patients. This product's side effect should not be considered "side" but probable additional short to possible long term effects. The people who are"lucky" and did not have side effects are really not the Norm. I will be calling my Gyn. on Monday.
