My experience is horrible and really want to get this thing removed. I have had the mirena for almost 6 months now and are having the same pregnancy symptoms and more that i had with my daughter or is it just the mirena. Is it just me or could i really be pregnant. This is the first time i have missed a period since i became pregnant the first time. I've have a lot of cramping and gas, backaches,sore nipples and i have also been spotting I'm very concerned please tell me what you think.

I had the Mirena fitted in August last year. I am 33 and never been pregnant. I did suffer from depression before and horrendous periods, hence why I had it put in, I didn't have it for birth control as I've been single the past year and a half. Anyway, I have NEVER felt pain like when i had it fitted, it felt like they were inserting a knife into my womb. I had to have a pain killer stuck up my bum cos I couldn't move. I was crying and screaming and just generally in a bit of a mess. It eased off after the pain killer. Ever since then I have had bad abdominal pains and even pain in my vagina and in my rectum, when I went for my 6 week check they said that things would improve and it was probably just hte shock of hte coil.
I went to a different doctor after that and they said it wasn't related to the coil and that it was probably IBS and gave me antispasmodics. They have eased it and when I went back 2 weeks ago for the third time in agony they tested me for bowel cancer, chrons disease etc. All tests have come back clear and have now taken it upon myself to have it taken out on Tuesday. I can't bear the pain any more. At one point I thought I had appendicitis. I have been going to bed with a hot water bottle most nights and having hot baths.
My periods never stopped and now I'm getting sore nipples for about a week before I'm due on. Another thing I've noticed is that I've been getting spotty shoulders, its gross!!! I'd be interested to know if anyone has had the same experience as me as far as hte pains go etc!!

I have been experiencing dizziness,balance affected, head fog, memory loss, eye blur in right eye, joint pain, IBS, huge boil like spots around thighs, bottom & breast area. Tender breasts, sore nipples. Long dark hairs randomly sprouting overnight as I have a check everyday now as Im extremely conscious of them and mortified when my husband of 20 yrs found one on my nipple. Weight gain & body fat around middle, 30lbs in 5 yrs. Joint pain, exhaustion, sinus problems & now snore terribly, extremely down but not for being unhappy as Im a very positive person with a great husband & teenage kids but down due to knowing something is wrong but no reason why. Just feelings of wanting "ME" back!!! Been to doctor for various reasons over this time but never getting a resolution, being advised Its my age, Stress, lack of exercise, RA inherited. I have seen a ENT spec, neurologist, camera up my bum for IBS & still no reason!! Went to docs last week & blood work starting again, doctor asked about contraception & mentioned Mirena & my memory being so bad kindof forgot I had one fitted & it was like a lightbulb moment. Searched my symptoms & found this site, cannot believe that I chose to do this to myself with docs advice. I was really concerned prior as convinced I has MS or brain tumor. Now made appt to get this thing OUT!!!
