So lastnight i got tired of the cramping, and decided to take it out. I tried to and it moved slightly, but the cramping/ pain was unbearable where it shot down my leg. i felt like i had been walking hunched over all day today at work. i tpook some tylenol and it was gone for now anyways...i chickened out though and still have it. did anyone who took it out have this problem? and how do you get past it? it almost feels like a contractioin when your going into labor! blah. I just want it gone!!! advice would be appricated ladies :)

Cemetarysiren - OH MY GOD!!! Do NOT try to take your IUD out by yourself!!! You could puncture your uterus and bleed to death, leave yourself in fertile, have to get a hysterectomy, etc. Call your gynecologist and let them remove it. How long have you been in pain? I know when I first had mine inserted I was cramping badly for about a week. If you're still having pain, call your gynecologist. Something may be wrong.

Zekesmommy08 - They kept saying ti was a "lazy bowel" I'm like uhm, no...i know my body, something is not right...they kept saying oh it's fine....how do you know what's going on inside someone's body if you don't do an x-ray or an ultrasound or anything? ya know? If it was the bowel thing, i would have had the pain since i was a kid. i've had mine for almost 3 years. it seems the longer i have it in, the more crap happens with me. Needless to say, i am looking for a new gyno.

Cemetarysiren - You should not be having pain. If you've had pain for 3 years then there is something going on and it has nothing to do with your bowels. You should get a second opinion as soon as possible. It very well could be ovarian cysts.

Ccb11 - I think the pain is from her trying to take it out herself. It has to be taken out by a professional. I really hope that she went into the GYN after trying to take it out herself. Oh my... she could of really hurt herself by doing that. I hope everything is ok. :( I had mine removed yesterday after having it for 1 1/2 years... it was pretty painless to take have it removed, but the last year has been horrible. I wouldn't recommend the Mirena to anyone!
