I had my Mirena removed yesterday due to complications since i had it replaced in May 08. (little to no complications with the first one) The GYN said I now have an infection in my uterus (Endometritis). My symptoms are: lower back ache, headaches, abdominal pain, bloated, nausea, irritability, breast tenderness, fatigue. I got a shot while in the office and am on Doxycyclin Hyc for 10 days. My primary Dr called today with results from a CT Scan done last week due to these symptoms and I have lesions on my liver. I now have an ultra sound scheduled for tomorrow. Listen to your body. If you have the Mirena and do not feel well, please do not put off having it removed. I hope my symptoms will subside soon. I faught to keep this 2nd mirena for 8 months now. I hope I haven't waited to late, and more damage is yet to show up.

I had my Mirena placed in April 2003 after the birth my second child and by August 2003 I had headaches, nausea, yeast infections, severe fatigue, pain and fever. By September 2003 I was fed up and made an appointment with a specialist, at my fist appointment he found a 8cm cyst in my left ovary and the 4 cm cyst in the right. The Dr. made me come in for an ultrasound every 6 weeks and told me the cyst will go away on there own. 2 years and over $10,000 in out of pocket medical fees asked to have the Mirena removed. The Dr. insisted it was not the cause of the cyst or pain and scheduled exploratory surgery. On September 16th 2005 the Dr. removed my ruptured left ovary and found a mass of scar tissue on the right ovary along with endometriosis lesions in on and around my uterus. The pain was gone for 2 months and quickly returned. I asked again to have it removed and when he declined I made an appointment with planned parenthood and had the Mirena removed. Since the removal of my Mirena I have had 1 miscarriage and 3 additional surgery's, I still have cyst on my right ovary and just had my first abnormal pap.
