Anyone got a BFP after mirena iud and multiple miscarriages

[ebourke]

Hi
Am new to this forum but just had a few questions for anyone who has had the mirena IUD. I had a mirena put in April 2009 and after six months of constant bleeding and thrush the doctor finally took it out in Sept 2009. We have been ttc since July 2010 and have had three early miscarriages. I have had two children previously, falling pregnant straight away with completely uneventful pregnancys. I know there may be other causes but was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problems and gone on to have successful pregnancys I am so worried at the moment and am having a two month break from ttcing. I have had an ultrasound which was all clear but not any bloodwork yet my doc wants to wait for it to happen again...not something I am looking forward to. Any comments would be appreciated. x

Yes, I've had the same problems & I believe it is all because of the Mirena IUD!!!

I had my IUD put in 6 months after giving birth to my son (textbook pregnancy & birth), I never liked it, and always felt like my body didn't agree with it in there... It started giving me thrush and I told my doctor - as I never got it before the IUD! Doctor wouldn't confirm the link and told me it was not caused by the IUD... After months of suffering I went and had the IUD removed... I fell pregnant instantly and miscarried at 5 weeks... I asked the doctor again if it possible that the IUD had caused the miscarriage.. Again "No, not the IUD"... I've since had two more miscarriages... One at 8 weeks (after seeing viable h/b) and the other just last week (should be 9 weeks today)... Both of these miscarriages resulting in D&C...

I am totally convinced it is the Mirena IUD that has caused all my problems! I'm desperate to find out why this is happening and how to stop it from happening again!!!
Everyone keeps telling me that the miscarriages are not my fault - but I really believe it is! If I never got the IUD put in, this would never have happened!!

Note: Thrush went away as soon as the IUD did....

Hi jayde

My thrush went away as soon as I had it removed as well I cant say I was suprised! I am currently pregnant again and am 10 weeks saw the baby last week with a strong heartbeat and measuring right it appears the baby has implanted up high and I am hopeful that it will be ok. Everytime I had a miscarriage I always had pain in the same area that I used to from the mirena I feel strongly that there must be some kind of scarring or something. Of course my doctor (who recommended it) swears there could be no link between the multiple miscarriages and the IUD which I find incredibly hard to believe seeing as I never ever had these problems previously.

My thoughts are with you for your miscarriages I am soooo nervous and worried and just want to be thirteen weeks so I know I'm past the most dangerous period, but dont know If I will relax anyway seeing as I really dont know why I've been miscarrying.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that things get better and hopefully we will both have successful pregnancys again soon. Lets put it this way I tell anyone who will listen to never ever get an IUD especially a mirena.xx

ebouke,

I am so happy for you!

You have given me the strength and faith I need to continue on my journey...

I am currently awaiting my results from my blood tests & tissue sample they took from my last D&C... It sounds so clinical and detached writing (tissue sample)... I am hoping for some sort of answer, but know I probably wont get one...

Stay positive and strong for that precious life you are carrying!!! I will be thinking of you & sending you all the positive vibes I can muster....

Keep me posted!

Hi Jayde

Its sooo hard in some ways you want them to find something and in other ways you dont. I have also had contact with women on another website who were also like me and have managed to get pregnant and stay pregnant after about 4 miscarriages and at least 12 months post removal of their IUD.

I so hope that this is it for you and things can get back on track...I hate the hoping and that feeling of knowing its not ok I have somehow known everytime its not going to be ok. This time I feel better but as normal I am very worried I just get through every day hoping that things are keeping on growing and progressing.

Will be thinking of you and hope that things get better for you ...I will definately keep you posted when I get to my twelve week scan I wish it was tomorrow xx Emma

Yes, I am in two minds about them finding "something" and not finding anything... My husband and I have a strong feeling that we will one day have another child... And that keeps us going for now... And if we never have another baby, well we are already so blessed to have a gorgeous little man...

Its reassuring to hear you say that you have found other women going through the same experience and that 1 year past there IUD removal is when they were lucky enough to stay pregnant...

I recently saw a psychic that told me that I will have two kids... And that I should let my body rest until around August... Well it will be post 1 year since IUD removal in August... I really hope that is the time for me!

I will wait for my results to see if I get any answers... And then we'll have to just take it from there...

I truly wish you all the best Emma, I only hope that I will be in your position is a few short months from now!!!

You will have to send me a picture of that beautiful little bubba of yours!!!

I hope the next few weeks go as quickly as possible for you.... xoxo
