Mirena I have had the Mirena since October, 07, right after my daughter was born. Very easy insertion. I have had the usual problems with weight gain, acne, moodiness. I went to get my IUD out on Monday, 3/23. My doctor couldn't find it and I was in agony as he tried to "tease" the string back down out of my uterus. I had always heard the removal was the easy part. I went back today after doping up for the pain, and after thirty minutes, my doc still couldn't find it. Now I have to have an x-ray and surgery done to remove the stupid thing, which has either imbedded in my uterus or perforated into my stomach cavity. It is supposed to be very rare, but it has happened to me, and I just want the thing out of me. I want to get pregnant later this year, and am fearful for my fertility. Think about that very carefully, anyone contemplating it. I had no idea that could happen or I would have NEVER gotten it to begin with.
