Ok so this isn't about me, but a gf of mine. She's not long had her 3rd baby and went in and got the Mirena fitted. All was going fine and she was happy with it. Didn't have the break through bleeding or anything like that.
So this morning I am chatting with her and she tells me that she has to go in for a scan, she had been having a lot of cramps and pain on her right side. She went to the Dr and he did an internal. He could not locate her Mirena.So in she went for a scan this morning.
They found the Mirena.... In her ABDOMEN !!
So now she is going in to theatre to have it removed. She has been told she cannot breastfeed her baby after surgery because of the drugs. I am sure this would'nt be the case as you can still breastfeed after a c section and your full of drugs. I also fed straight after an emergency curette when Brandon was 2 weeks old.
Wish her luck girls

Maybe that should read in her abdomen. LOL. Ok so it's in her belly.
Apparently, when the gyno put it in he measured her too long and inserted it right through and into her abdomen. Please tell me I have written it right this time.
She is in hosp and on anti biotics for 24 hours first, incase there is any infection. Then they are going to hopefully retrieve it via keyhole surgery.
That gyno needs a new tape measure.
How on earth could he/she make a mistake like that. It would require quite a bit of force to push it through her uterus. No wonder she has a lot of cramps and pain
Mirena, gone missing !!

Perhaps it's in a fallopian tube or something? Seeing as it's pain on one side? I have no idea tho of course LOL.
