Hi Ladies,

Just thought that i would let you in on this little piece of info that i found out yesterday.

I had the Mirena put in when i was 14-15 years old to treat my PCOS and Endometriosis. And for the 7 years i had it, it worked a treat.

But now that i am ttc it has caused problems. The progesterone in the IUD has stunted the growth of my uterus. The doctor said that my uterus is the size of a normal 13 year olds.

I am now having to go onto hormone replacement therapy to try and rectify the situation and make my uterus grow.

No where on the Mirena Website and instructions does it say that this can happen if used in young girls, so i just wanted to make people aware that it does have side effects when used in younger people.

More a warning to any mothers of children that may have PCOS and were thinking of using this as a form of treatment.

Thanks Ladies.
