Issues with my Mirena IUD...advice appreciated

[MantaRay]

I didn't have that problem, but did have mine removed for other reasons. It is much easier taking it out than putting it in. A GP can do it, or your gyno if you prefer. It won't hurt like it did when it went in. It does sound like it would be worth having it out to see if things improve

I never had kids before Mirena, and was just inserted in the office. I didn't have any of those problems. But - I'd be tempted to see another gyno for a second opinion. Having a GP & Gyno giving different opinions isn't ideal.

I agree with Kazbah.


To answer your other question a GP can remove your Mirena (check first when making the appointment), a friend just had it done while having her regular pap smear. She didn't even know when he had finished.
I had never uesed it before kids, only after and it is working fine.
