I had a Mirena IUD inserted today, it was a horrible experience. It was very painful and literally felt it getting inside my uterus which was weird because the doctor had told me he had used topical anesthesia and I was not supposed to feel more than a menstrual cramp. At that moment I sensed something was WRONG. Right after the insertion he cut the string and did a vaginal check up and told me that the iud had PERFORATED my uterus and had to be removed RIGHT AWAY!!!! IT WAS UNBEARABLY PAINFUL, i HAD TO LAY DOWN FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR WITH DIZZINESS, LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND SEVERE CRAMPING. He told me that my uerus will heal in about a month and we can try for another iud insertion then. YEAH RIGHT!! It is not worth the trauma and pain. I just wish that instead of researching "mirena iud" I would have researched " complications of Mirena iud".......I would have made a different more informed choice. I don't even know what will be the consequences of this perforation and I'm scared it will affect my fertility. And to think that my ob/gyn ( which I adore)didn't want to insert and iud on me and I changed doctors just to get this done to me!!!
