A friend of mine has a Mirena and is about to start a law suit against the hospital who inserted it because they didn't do it properly and when she was in the stirrups they moved her leg too far and tore all the cartlidge in her hip. She's had one lot of surgery to try to fix the hip but it's beyond repair.
She's had 3 years of problems every since getting the Mirena inserted. She also had similar problems during pregnancy to what you have. Please be careful and do all your research first.
not that I want to turn this into a 'Marina hating' thread, but I just had mine taken out yesterday, for so many reasons, the 15 kg weight gain the constant bloated tummy, aches and pains all over my body, migranes, massive mood swings, depression, self loathing, fogginess, lack of sex libedo geeze the list just goes on and on, I agree with what others are saying just research it before you make the final decission, I had mine in for over a year and a half, the first year was wonderful, I was so happy with it but then the side effects came thick and fast and it just got to much,
I was offered the copper 7 but decided against it as I dont like what it does,
have you thought about the Nuvaring??? that actually looks really good, personally I dont think its right for me as I am super sensative to any hormonal contraceptive so I dont think it would work for me but if your ok with the hormonal contraceptives I would seriously look into it, as it looks easy and pretty fuss free.
just to throw a spanner into the works
hav eyou thought of the NUVA RING, its easy you put it in kinda like the old diaphragm style but its a ring sits up around your cervix, its squishy like a condom when its rolled up you put it in 28 days later take it out a week later put it back in
and the great thing is it has been proven to not effect fertility and 80% of womenin teh tril fell pegnant within 6 months of stopping and after using for extended periods of time
i like the mirena but doesnt agree with everyone. dont like the copper IUD sorry not my cup of tea.
but i plan on using the NUVA RING when i am finished trying
some dr's even have free trials so u can test it for a month and see how you like it
90 % of men said they couldnt feel it during sexual intercourse... and women said it was as comfortable as using a tampon
oh gosh im sounding like a drug rep lol
just had the talk and intro to it 3 weeks ago as we are advising women on contraception now as part of our role
